Add beauty and elegance to a space with the right type of window treatment
Window treatments serve multiple functions.
They block or allow sunlight in and the right one can improve the room’s appearance.
While curtains are an option, along with plastic blinds with thin slats, these types of window treatments may not give the space the aesthetic appeal you are trying to achieve.
Also, don’t forget about factors like care and durability.
Thin plastic slats are prone to breakage and curtains can be a pain to clean.
So, what are your other options?
Have you considered installing motorized blinds?
Another option is Venetian blinds and both types of window treatments have unique advantages.
Which Type of Blinds Are Right For You
How do you know which type of blinds are the best option for your space?
It depends on a few factors.
Start by looking at the space and consider your lifestyle.
Do you want blinds that are a breeze to raise and lower?
Perhaps you want some flexibility when it comes to the position of the slats.
Your answers will help determine which type of blinds is your best option.
Easy Control
Are you looking for blinds that roll up and down without pulling a string or turning a rod?
Motorized blinds may be the ideal option for the room.
The blinds contain a small motor that automatically raises and lowers the window treatment with a press of a button from the included remote.
This type of window blind also has a few advantages beyond its easy use.
Do you have pets or small children?
Since the blinds do not use hanging cords or chains, they do not present a potential safety hazard.
You can even increase the value of your home.
Remote-controlled blinds indicate your house is embracing the latest technology.
It’s something potential buyers look for in a home.
Some blinds can even be integrated into your existing smart system, making them even easier to control.
Flexible Control
While being able to control the blinds’ height in the window is a great advantage, sometimes you may want to adjust the tilt/angle of the slats.
It gives you control over the amount of sunlight entering the room. It also makes it easier to block prying views from neighbors and passers-by.
Venetian blinds are easy to manually adjust.
The attached cord allows you to lift the blinds and tilt the slats. The slats can be fully closed, wide open, or angled to decrease or direct the sunlight coming into the room.
You can also find the blinds in a variety of colors to match or contrast with the existing décor.
Use Your Imagination
Window treatments are more than a way to block bright sunlight and ensure privacy.
Blinds can add aesthetic appeal to a space. You can select from various colors and materials.
For example, wood is commonly used for adjustable blinds. Automatic ones are often available in PVC, vinyl, and polyester.
Have fun imagining what the blinds will look like in your space and don’t be afraid to try different materials and colors.
