Even those that live in a safe area may be targets of burglaries and home invasion. According to TheZebra.com, 2.5 million burglaries occur in the U.S. each day.

Here are some other alarming statistics:

• Homes that have no security systems are 300% more likely to be burglarized. Here are some other statistics:
• 46.9% of homes do not have security systems
• 83% of burglars check a home for security systems before they break-in
• 34% of burglars use the front door

When Do Most Burglaries Occur?

It may be surprising, but most home burglaries occur between the daylight hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Burglars often watch homes and determine when the homeowner is leaving and coming home from work. Over 1,495,790 burglaries occur during the day, which is a whopping 6%.

Other facts about burglaries from Alarms.com include:

• There are 1,324,090 burglaries at night when people are in their homes.
• Cold weather and snowy weather deter burglaries. In cold climates, the fewest number of burglaries happen in February and the most happening in the summer months.

Why Do People Get Home Security Products?

In a study conducted by Safety.com, only 38% of Americans have home security products installed in their home. Here are some other top reasons why people purchase home security products:

• Wanted to feel more secure in their home (peace-of-mind)
• Living in a new area
• In response to an unsuccessfully attempted break-in
• Experienced a home break-in
• Many neighbors have them
• They are a deterrent to burglars
• Required to receive an insurance discount

The study, which had over 3,000 respondents, showed that most people installed alarm systems for added home security and not because of a personal event.

Increased Interest in Home Protection Products:

Every year we hear more about “porch pirates,” people that steal delivered items off strangers’ porches before they are collected. It is especially gaining in popularity around the holiday season.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, people have made lifestyle changes to increase their safety. That is why more people have been adding security systems, photo and video capabilities that show who is at their door before they are allowed in.

Choosing a Security Company:

Each area has its own local businesses that you can contact. Denver Security Systems is one company that specializes in custom alarm and security systems to meet clients’ particular needs. Before deciding on a security firm, review different companies; check-out their website to make sure that they can provide everything required.…

The living room is one of the rooms that you spend the most time in while you’re at home. It should be a place that feels comfortable and inviting. It’s also the room most often used for entertaining, so it never hurts to try to impress your friends and family a little. If you are tired of your current living room, consider some simple changes to change and update the space so it can be a room you love. If you can, work with a professional, like Interior Design Companies Denver has to offer. If tackling the project yourself, here is a list of ideas.

Rearrange the Space

Costing you no money at all, consider rearranging your furniture and bookshelves. Sometimes you don’t need to add new stuff, you just need to move around the stuff you already have to make it seem like a new space. Getting rid of clutter can also help change the look of a room.

Look to the Walls

One of the easiest and inexpensive ways to freshen up and change the look of any room is by applying a fresh coat of paint. Choose one color, opt for an accent wall, or even consider an alternative wall covering.  Try wallpaper, barn wood, foam wall adhesives, or one of many other options that are out there to get the look you want. While changing the look of your walls, also take a look at what’s hanging on them. Consider investing in some new artwork and utilize mirrors to make space look brighter.

Lighting

Consider the lighting in your living room. Change out the lampshades for a new look. Also, look for darker areas where a new lamp may add more light. Also, think about ways to add mood lighting. Have a way to turn up the lights for a family game night as well as a way to dim them when snuggling up for a movie.

Accent Pieces

Get rid of your tired old accent pillows and opt for new ones. Change up the colors and the patterns to add a pop of color on your couch or chair. Be sure to think about adding throw blankets to add texture. Use heavier ones in the winter and lighter, brighter ones in the summer to keep new, fresh looks always present in the room.

Replace the Rug or Drapes

A new accent rug or drapes can also freshen up the look of a room. Perhaps your old curtains could even be dyed a new color to cut costs. There are also inexpensive ways to get your hands on a new rug. Carpet stores sometimes have remnants for sale and furniture stores may have discounted rugs that were used in displays.…
