With opaque shades, almost all light is blocked, compared to sheer curtains,<\/span> which let a large amount of light in. The absence of light helps the production of melatonin, a hormone that<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> controls the sleep-wake cycle. \u201cOne of the ways to block light pollution is with high-quality blackout shades. These are great for anyone trying to optimize sleep and psychological state,\u201d says Dr. Feldman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides light, the other important piece that impacts your psychology is color. If you allow light into your room, your emotions could be impacted by the color of the room itself.\u00a0 \u201cRed raises the room\u2019s energy, good for any kind of creative space,\u201d Dr. Feldman explains. \u201cYellow and orange make you feel more relaxed and at peace.\u201d The room\u2019s function is also crucial. For example, red is a good color for an office, while blues and purples offer a nice sense of serenity for a bedroom. With this in mind, it\u2019s important to pay attention to the color of your wallpaper or paint and make sure it reflects the mood that you want. \u201cIt\u2019s a very short-lived effect, but with continued exposure, the effects are longer lasting,\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-choose-the-right-blinds\">How Do You Choose the Right Blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Blinds-nimvo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Blinds-nimvo.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Blinds-nimvo-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/nimvo.com\/10-different-types-of-blinds-for-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nimvo.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With both light and color in mind, the key is to manage them in your favor. \u00a0\u201cIf you black out light, you\u2019re also blocking out color, and you won\u2019t let the color affect your mood,\u201d Dr. Feldman clarifies. \u201cThe goal is to reduce the emotional response and increase melatonin production.\u201d As such, blackout blinds are ideal. At night, you can minimize the impact of your room\u2019s color on your mood while also helping you to sleep. However, everyone is different. Various people need more or less light to be able to sleep well. If you need a little light for sleeping but still want the benefits of blackout blinds, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/best-night-lights-4580292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consider getting a nightlight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

This refers to the shade\u2019s ability to protect you from harmful UVA and UVB rays that can pierce through the windows. When picking out blinds, consider their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/sun-protection-series-3-a-guide-to-upf-clothing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At your lake house, you want to cultivate a serene and positive environment.
