Blinds make for a great choice of window treatment because they allow you to easily control how much light enters a room. Figuring out the ideal style of blinds for your home is where things get tricky. You of course want them to look elegant and operate smoothly, but what other factors should you examine when shopping for new blinds? There may be considerations that have not occurred to you. Fortunately, the experts here at Blinds Blinds Blinds have the perfect tips to guide you through this process!

Unique Factors to Consider with Custom Blinds

Measurements: This may seem obvious, but as with many things in life, it's best to start with the fundamentals. Make sure you know the correct sizes for your windows or you could end up wasting time and money on a purchase that doesn't work out. Many people take measurements, but from the wrong points, and end up with inaccurate numbers. If you want to be safe, you can call in our window treatment professionals to gather this information for you.

Safety: Blinds with pull cords can potentially pose a hazard to young children or pets. It's something many people might never think about until it happens, but it is possible to get tangled up in these cords. Even if your child or pet comes out of the situation unharmed, their tugging on the cord may have damaged or pulled down your blinds. When shopping for window treatments, it's wise to take into account the environment in which you will be using them.

Sun Protection: While natural light can add a wonderful sensation to a room, consistent exposure to UV rays can be harmful to your skin, eyes, and belongings. To keep the pictures and paintings hanging on your walls from fading in the sun, choose heavy aluminum blinds rather than ones made of a sheer fabric. There may be multiple reasons to want to block the light from your windows beyond its luminous qualities.

Revive Family Pieces with Re-Upholstery

December 22, 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!
