I don't think the look good.
And literally never thought about it more than that.
So people may not really know what they're for, just that they're "old-fashioned". Not sure how to make them trendy but that seems to be a deciding factor in how people invest in their homes. Maybe sell them with "live laugh love" printed on the front with wine bottles dangling from the corners?
Just start doing it and brag about your electric bill going down. Eventually others will do the same for the same reason. Then it becomes a trend for being a thing people are doing.
That which is old is new again.
Make them out of eco friendly bamboo slats and 36-in long sections of galvanized square steel, sell it flat packed on Amazon and people will go crazy for it
They definitely make a house look dated. I doubt this would pass the wife test for most people. I know my wife wouldn't like them, and we're all about saving energy.
Same here. But make it with like jute and bamboo with a thin gold trim and she would buy 2
it wouldn't pass the wife test, but a cooler home and less expensive electricity bill would likely pass the wife test.
