Looking for anything on a budget can be a challenge. Luckily, we’re shoppers, too. We know how important it is to find good quality products for your home without breaking the bank. Read on to find out everything you need to know about how to shop for blinds on a budget.
Budget Doesn’t Have to Mean Cheap
When someone says they’re on a tight budget, that just means they want to spend less, not get less. No one wants to get an inferior product that won’t last. That’s why we have invested the time and effort into ensuring even our most budget-friendly blinds are still made with the same quality craftsmanship our customers have come to expect from Select Blinds Canada.
If you’re shopping on a budget, don’t just search for the lowest price tag. Search for the best quality you can afford. Start by shopping with retailers – like us! – who offer guarantees on their products. This way, you won’t be left stranded with a cheap product.
We offer our customers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a best price promise! Our DIY approach means we cut out the middle man to save you money – not the quality! Here are some of our insider tips on how to shop for blinds on a budget.
Make a Checklist First
Before you even look at blinds – or anything for that matter – make a checklist of the things you want and don’t want in a product. This way, you won’t get stuck overpaying for bells and whistles you didn’t need in the first place.
Determine what type of product will work best in your window. Decide whether you want it to be inside mount, outside mount, cordless, or motorized. Narrowing down your likes and dislikes will make shopping simpler and quicker.
Order Free Samples
At Select Blinds Canada, we believe it’s super important to see fabrics and colours in person before placing an order. That’s why we offer free samples of all of our fabrics and materials. If you get the wrong colour, it could cost you even more in the end. Better to do it once, and do it right if you really want to stick to your budget plans and still be happy with your blinds.
Shop Blinds with Cost-Effective Functionality
Lots of our blinds have more than one benefit. Instead of shopping for one need at a time, look for blinds that can help you maximize your needs with one simple product. Here are some of our top choices:
Energy Efficient Window Treatments
If you really want to save money, consider shopping our energy-efficient window coverings, like our honeycomb shades. The unique honeycomb shape traps air inside, which means warm air won’t get out and cold air won’t get in – or vice versa. This means loads of savings on your energy bills all year round.
Double Duty Blinds
If you absolutely want blackout but still enjoy light filtering in during the daytime, try shopping our Top-Down Bottom-Up lift styles. This will allow you to enjoy the blackout and privacy functions you want at night, and still allow you to let light in during the day without sacrificing your privacy. The unique lift system allows you to let light in from the bottom, the top, or even both at once.
Layer with Drapes
Drapes are an affordable option and can allow you to maximize your blinds at the same time. You can choose solar shades for your living room, and get more privacy at night by simply sliding your blackout or privacy drapes shut. Plus, the layered look is really on trend right now!
