Windows are a central aspect of the room and blinds, and shades must be decorative and functional. There is a vast market and multitude of options to dress up a room with beautiful material, colours, and prints for shades and blinds. Installing shutters, shades, and blinds is a major investment and it must be planned properly to ensure longevity in style and quality.
Understanding blinds, shades, and shutters
The main difference is the material between blinds and shades. Blinds are generally made of hard material like wood, vinyl, bamboo, or a composite material whereas shades are made with fabric. There are some salient features one must consider when investing in blinds or shades –
- Privacy and lighting – if you want your room to be bright and airy, pick shades in softer fabric or install shutters on the window. Blinds can be closed to cut off the light completely and close the room off.
- Safety – avoid corded blinds and shades for children’s rooms as it is a major safety hazard. Where there are cords, ensure it is kept out of reach of small children. There are cordless options with special safety mechanisms for continuous loop and traditional pull corded styles that are a good option.
- Cleaning – blinds don’t need professional cleaning, but they do attract dust. Shades in textured fabrics and weaves hide dust better but their cleaning is very tricky. You can vacuum them or try spot cleaning. Shutters can be wiped down or vacuumed to get the tight corners. In all three cases, it is best to employ professional cleaning services periodically.
- Budget – the quality and how much you spend on the window treatment must be carefully budgeted. IF you are spending on heavy blinds or drapes for one room, you can cut the prices of another room. Window treatments are priced by size, so larger treatments will cost more. custom blinds and shades such as speciality fabrics, patterns, or features will further escalate the costs.
- Measuring for blinds and shades – when you step out to browse for blinds and shades note down the dimensions of the windows and how much space is there to fit the window treatment. For instance, an inside-out mount blind will stop at the frame and for the outside mounted styles include the window frame in the measurement.
In the end, the style of blinds, shades and shutters will depend largely on the style of your house.
