Choosing new window blinds or shades for your home is a big decision. We can help you make the right one. Read more to find out how to go about choosing the right window treatments and to learn how to determine which blinds are best for your needs.
The first step to choosing the right blinds is to evaluate your needs in a given room. Do you want light filtering through? Do you need total blackout for a better night’s rest? The key to choosing the right product is finding the one that checks all your boxes. Here are some things to consider to help you narrow down the search:
Another important factor is maintenance. If simple cleaning is your number one concern, then you may really like Faux Wood Blinds or Vinyl Roller Shades. These surfaces are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth and don’t stain, bend or warp over time. Aluminum blinds and wood shutters also clean easily with a damp cloth.
This is a question we see a lot and the answer is simple: there is no one right way to decorate. In some ways, uniformity works, but it’s definitely not a pre-requisite. Each room in your home may have a different style focus. Plus, each room serves a different function. It’s best to choose your blinds based on your needs in each room instead. You may love zebra sheers for the living room but you can still choose blackout rollers for the bedroom. It is a good idea to stick to similar blinds or colours, but you don’t need the exact same window treatment in every room.
This isn’t something that has to be done, but it can be done and it can be very beautiful. You can choose show-stopping blinds, shades, or shutters. Layering with drapery is still an ongoing trend that works well with so many different interior design styles.
The most popular window treatments are honeycomb shades, roller shades, zebra shades, solar shades, and Roman shades. Faux wood blinds are also very popular. The idea is to find the right type of product for your room and your style.
