People with the likes of
panel blinds in their homes might want to ensure they are kept closed during hot days of the year, one writer has suggested, in order to stop sunlight from warming up their properties.
Commenting in an article published by
Wallet Pop, Tom Kraeutler noted that it may prove beneficial for property owners to shut their window coverings on sunny days.
He stated: "Keep blinds and curtains drawn during the day to screen out the sun's heat."
Among the range of advice issued by the expert, Mr Kraeutler also pointed out that people's gardens might help them to avoid direct sunlight.
"Add and maintain trees on the south and west sides," he advised householders who are concerned about the sun.
When it comes to people's interiors, Built It magazine's deputy editor Anna-Marie DeSouza noted that natural trends could prove popular this summer.
