How to Choose the Right Blinds

ctpost • Jun 11, 2021

When it comes to window treatments, it seems like the options are endless. You'll have to consider every angle; the function of the room you're in, the window arrangement, the natural light, and the surrounding furnishings. If you know you'll need to block the sunlight into a room, blinds are the perfect answer. Blinds, however, come in many styles, so you'll still need to make some decisions. Once you make the appropriate considerations and choose your blinds, your vision will be complete.

What Sort of Light Filtration Do You Need?

Think about the specific lighting needs your room has. If you'd like a comfortable amount of light in your room but are choosing blinds for privacy, light filtering blinds are perfect. Use them in kitchens, dining rooms, and other similar areas. In contrast, blackout window blinds and shades will actually block out the majority of any light entering a room, making it easier to sleep or watch TV whenever you want.

What Sort of Insulation Do You Need?

The right window treatments will make a huge difference when it comes to insulating your home, making it more comfortable and significantly cutting down on your energy costs. Did you know that up to 25% of your home's heating or cooling costs can be attributed to energy loss from your windows? A window treatment professional can help you choose window treatments to help control energy loss; shades and blinds will usually be your best bet.

What Visual Impact Do You Want?

Beautiful window blinds can make or break a home. From stylish clean lines to splashes of bright color, you can make your windows as bold or subtle as you want to fit the atmosphere of your room. Knowing how you want your window treatments to function in your home can make your choice much easier to make. It's also important to match your window shape; rectangular windows work with almost anything, but some types of windows will work better with certain treatments. Large windows, for example, look best with light options, like wood blinds or cellular shades. If you have windows that are high up, automated blinds or treatments will be significantly easier to work with.

Automated Blinds

Like any window treatment, automated blinds offer privacy, lower your energy bill, and allow you to control the amount of outdoor light in your home. They come in plenty of colors and styles so you can still choose something that works for your home. Automating your blinds makes it possible to control them from anywhere in your home; you can even connect them to smart home devices so you can control them with your voice or set them on an automated schedule!

Revive Family Pieces with Re-Upholstery

22 Dec, 2022

Is Re-upholstery the Right Choice For You? With the holiday season in full swing, the nostalgia of family traditions and memories often surrounds us. There’s always something that can remind us of our loved ones, whether it’s Grandma’s recipe book, a photo album of our parents from their younger years, or maybe even an heirloom chair or sofa, that has been passed from generation to generation. If you’re lucky enough to have inherited one of these beautiful heirloomed pieces, you may at some point come across needing to give this piece a little TLC, whether it is to revive the bounce of the cushions, or re-upholster the fabric. Should you find yourself in this position, Blinds Blinds Blinds is happy to help! Our skilled workroom can revitalize your cherished pieces, and make the best suggestions to maintain the integrity of your furniture, while refreshing the parts that have seen ware and tare. Our showroom houses a large selection of upholstery fabrics, with performance fabrics being the most popular option as of late. Performance fabrics have great wearability, are easy to clean, and also provide protection from most liquids soaking into the fabric. Velvets and chenille fabrics are also amongst those most popular, providing a classic and timeless look with their luxurious look and soft feel. When choosing to re-upholster your treasured piece, budget should be a consideration, as not all furniture pieces are great candidates. When making this decision, look at the construction of the piece, and consider the materials used in the frame of the furniture. Was this piece built to last? Often times if pieces are made with synthetic, plastic, or press board materials, they are not a good choice to re-upholster. Furniture constructed with real wood makes it a durable and long-lasting piece. Contact us today to learn more about our re-upholstery services!
