Did You Know Shutters Help Fight Fall Allergies?
October 17, 2024Happy Halloween! This spooky season, keep your windows from haunting you with new blinds. But beware! There are many common mistakes you can make when shopping. Use this guide to help you avoid the tricks so your new window treatments are all a treat. Common window covering traps include…
Sacrificing Style For Function
It can be easy to get swept up in all the aesthetics. but don’t let yourself be swayed by a style if it’s not going to function as you need it to. If you’ve got kids or pets, don’t buy something that is high maintenance. Do you want to control varying degrees of light like you can with blinds? Don’t buy roller shades. If you need light-blocking features, don’t just buy blinds. No matter the style you like, function should always come first.
Misunderstanding Measurements – Or Not Measuring At All!
If there is anything that looks immediately out of place, it is blinds that don’t quite fit. Whether you’ve got blinds that are too short or too long or slats that are a little too skinny, those create eyesores. Nothing draws the eye faster than an ill-fitting window dressing. Make sure you know the exact height and width you need for your windows. Plus, take into consideration how thick or thin the slats should be – too big or too little can make things overcrowded or lead to easier damage.
Thinking Blinds Are One-Size-Fits-All
Just because one set of blinds works well in one room doesn’t mean you should use them for every window in your house. Different rooms have different needs – and different looks. Not taking into account the uses and vibes of the different rooms around the house can be bad. You won’t get the right kind of uses out of your window coverings and/or they simply will stick out like a sore thumb.
