Have we learned anything about the design of our &#8220;more lived in and worked in&#8221; spaces? I think I am safe to say that many of us will continue a long arc of being isolated but not stuck. Positive change must be within reach and as we strive for peace and tranquility even as snow or a crust of ice settles around many of us. I admonish you to clear out any of the raucous colors and designs and create some quiet corners to soothe your burnt edges. A favorite way of mine to warm up is to simplify the window treatments. See how these four ideas work for windows, but can also be a template to orchestrate a smooth voyage through the chilly months ahead.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13338\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13338\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13338 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/A2.png\" alt=\"A\" width=\"600\" height=\"503\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/A2.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/A2-300x252.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/1cqgxm3l59yi2wwbnn3qy35h.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/my-sunroom-on-a-snowy-day-2.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\">Hooked on Houses<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Keep It Straight and Smooth<\/h4>\n<p>Search for window coverings that mount inside the window frame to keep it minimal and crisp with no frazzled or ragged edges.
