How to save on energy in the new year with shading?

Energy is one of the items that significantly and repeatedly affect the household budget. Yet, only supplier prices or replacing appliances are often addressed, while passive savings options are left aside.

Day-and-night roller shutters: How do they work and why are they so popular?
Day-and-night roller shutters belong to the most popular types of interior shading. They combine the look of a classic fabric roller shutter with the Venetian blind function, so they can regulate light, protect privacy and at the same time look good in a modern interior. They are suitable for apartments, family houses and offices - and thanks to a wide range of designs, there are solutions for almost every type of window, including balcony doors or French windows.

Plisse - variable and so elegant
Plisse blinds are pleated fabric blinds that will dress your windows, make your interior cozier and of course provide shading tailored to your room. You can choose Plisse fabrics with varying degrees of light transmission, fully blackout fabrics with a steamed aluminum layer that eliminates the power of thermal radiation or fabrics with pearlescent coatings with a high degree of light reflection.

Less stuff, more space: Japanese inspiration for minimalism
Minimalist interior is not just about "having few things at home". It is mainly about the feeling of lightness, clarity and peace that your home gives you every day.

Japanese minimalism can be a great inspiration in this because it combines respect for space, light and natural materials with functional elements such as sliding panels, Japanese blinds and Japanese walls. In this article, we will therefore look at how Japanese-style minimalism can be transferred to a typical Czech apartment or house and how Japanese walls and other shading techniques can help you with this.
