Mini Blinds are Old News

So you just built a brand new house, and you need some sort of privacy, unless you prefer to live in a fishbowl. Many people's first thought is to put up mini blinds; they are inexpensive and they do the job. BUT, you can add style, class, and beauty to your new home with other affordable alternatives. A great alternative to mini blinds is faux wood blinds. You don't want to put up cheap plastic window coverings in a brand new house, right?! Faux wood blinds give you a cleaner appearance as well as an increased view with the 2 inch slats. You could even choose the 2 1/2 inch shutter blinds for an even more sophisticated look.

Sometimes people overlook things like window coverings when considering building or purchasing a new home, however, window treatments should be very close to the top of your list; considering their functionality. Privacy is very important, as well as keeping the sun out on hot sunny days or for insulation purposes in the winter. Since window coverings can be seen inside and out, it's also important for curb appeal when selling a home! Shutters can actually increase the value of your home, so that's an important factor to consider as you put your house on the market. Faux wood blinds are an easy and affordable way to create a uniform look throughout your house and more importantly in the front of your home. The top valances that cover the head rail, create a finished look in your window. You don't even have to fuss with draperies or fabric valances, unless you are looking to add color or texture to a room. If that is something you are considering doing, Budget Blinds of Colorado Springs also carries a myriad of beautiful fabrics to choose from to compliment any decor.

Please keep us in mind when thinking of covering your windows or updating your home. Call us for a FREE in-home consultation at 719-488-0468.

Not Your Mother's Roller Shades

We all remember the days of the roller shades, boring, old-fashioned roller shades. But today's roller shades have a new look and can be very contemporary! Solar shades are more of a mesh design with a range of "openness". You can choose the type of weave you want depending on how much privacy is needed. Of course, for a sun room, you may not need as much privacy and could opt for a more open weave to maintain your view. Solar shades offer incredible UV protection at they same time providing a stylish look. Dark colors give a more contemporary look as opposed to lighter colors and shades of white which could offer a more traditional look if that is your desire. There are three operation options for Solar shades. The spring loaded option is the same as your traditional roller shades, where you tug a bit on the bottom of the shade to roll them up. The continuous-cord loop is another option that is helpful for larger windows that may be too tall to grasp the bottom of the shade in order to operate it. The spring loaded option gives the room a clean look with no cords. You could also opt for the motorized operation for those high windows. Roller shades are gaining in popularity. With so many options, it's no wonder why! This gives new meaning to the term, "window-fashions"!


Our Corporate site's take on Roller Shades:
Today's Roller Shades are Long on Sleek Sophistication

Modern roller shades exude chic sophistication and classic charm. Abandon your preconceived notions of movie screen-esque roller shades and let your design imagination run wild!

Choose from thousands of fabrics, textures and shades that coordinate with your décor. Add a decorative hem or layer them with a drapery panel for a pop of accent color. Motorize your roller shades for easy operation with the press of a button.
