How to Purchase Shades and Blinds

.

Here’s what you need to know before shopping for window treatments.

Finding the right blinds and shades for your needs isn’t always a simple process, especially with so many styles to choose from. We’ve included some of our best suggestions to assist you in navigating the process.

Window treatments can be challenging to choose, whether you’re searching for seclusion, style, or both. Should you go to a specialty blind store, a home center, or purchase online for your blinds? How formal, or how sheer, should you go? And how come your fashionable neighbors always seem to know what they’re doing?

Blinds and shades should be both decorative and functional because windows are such a main point in a room. You may now dress up a room in several ways without having to spend a lot of money.

We identified a need for better, more affordable window treatments that were also more safety-conscious at Nili Interiors, so we decided to provide them in a variety of colors, fabrics, and styles. Nili Interiors Blinds and Shades are attractive and affordable – plus they direct from factory and prioritize safety by giving a variety of cordless choices. Some include a motorized wand that adjusts with a single touch, while others are insulating and help you save money on heating and cooling.

When purchasing blinds and shades, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Light and privacy: Decide whether you want your room bright and airy or more “buttoned up” and cozy. Blinds tilt to let the sun in or keep it out; when they’re closed, you lose light. Shades have fabric options that are room-darkening or light-filtering, giving you more control over brightness. But unless you opt for the most sheer, they have to be pulled up to let light in or down to deter nosy neighbors.

Your Budget: Do you want to dress up one window or the entire house? You might choose to spend more on some windows while cutting less on others. Window treatments are priced according to their size, so larger ones will cost more. Specialty fabrics, designs, and features, as well as custom sizes, add to the cost.

Child & Pet Safety: If you have children, choose cordless models to avoid accidental strangulation.

Cleaning: Although blinds do not require expert cleaning, they might attract dust. Use Swiffer’s 360° Duster to make dusting them easy. Shades made of textured fabrics and weaves hide dirt better but cleaning them is more difficult — you can lightly vacuum and spot-clean them, but larger stains should be left to the professionals.
