Finding the Right Window Blinds
Getting new blinds for your home always leads to question after question about all kinds of little things you never thought about. What kind of patterns do you want, what textures, what style of shade, pinched or folded, and on and on until your head is full of endless questions. Thankfully, here at Ivan's Blinds and More, we have answers to all those questions! We can't wait to help you find your next set of favorite blinds, and to help; we have come up with a few tips to help expedite the whole process.
What colors and textures will work best?
When choosing blinds, think about how they will look in the room. Matching your window treatments to the color or style of your furniture and décor will help create a cohesive look that's easy on the eyes.
For instance, if you have a dark wood headboard and dresser in your bedroom, consider getting light wood blinds with some pattern or texture so they won't compete with the darker pieces, or try pairing colored or textured blinds with neutral bedding like white sheets and a gray duvet cover for an exciting contrast. If your wooden furniture is painted white, choose lighter-colored blinds with some pattern, such as stripes, to complement it without competing for too much color-wise.
In addition to matching up with your existing furniture pieces, keep in mind that window treatments should also work well with other elements of each room: consider what kind of wall covering you have (such as wallpaper), flooring material (wooden floors? tile?), etc., before making any decisions about what kind of curtains or shades you would like to add. The Hunter Douglas Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds feature over 450 different fabric and color options, so you'll be able to find exactly what you want.
How much light are you hoping to let in or keep out?
Thinking about how much light you want in your home is one of the biggest things to consider when choosing blinds. For example, suppose you're hoping to block out sunlight during the morning hours but would like some light filtering through during the evening (while keeping children from falling into a deep sleep). In that case, consider vertical blinds with blackout panels. Hunter Douglas Luminette® Sheer Panels are an excellent choice for managing and transforming the light in your home.
Do you have kids or pets in the home?
Do you have kids in the home? If so, you will want to choose blinds that are easy to operate while still being safe for your young ones. Blinds can be dangerous if left up or down at the wrong time; hanging loose cords can quickly get wrapped around the wrong thing. But, choosing cordless or motorized window coverings instead of traditional blinds can eliminate this problem. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is a perfect motorization option for dealing with this issue. These options will allow you greater control over when and how your windows move while keeping everyone safe!
Conclusion
We hope you're armed with all the information you need to find the perfect window treatments for your home. Remember that it's not just about color and style but also about how much light and privacy you want from your blinds. If kids or pets are in the house, keep them in mind when making your choice - With so many options out there today (and more coming every day), we believe it will be easy for anyone who takes the time to consider these things before purchasing. Our staff at Ivan's Blinds and More is ready to help you through the whole process, so don't hesitate to reach out and call us at (760) 777-7670 or request a consultation online.
