SHUTTERS AND BLINDS HELP CREATE A DELUXE FEEL FOR YOUR HOME

How do you feel about a home with bare walls? A home without a kitchen backsplash or light fixtures? Shutters and blinds are key features in your home just like these essentials. Without shutters or blinds on your windows, it is fair to say that your home would be less beautiful and functional. You need some sort of window dressing to control light and get privacy. It’s always best to have that choice to maximize your space’s comfort.

While some people select blinds or shutters that are just practical, you don’t have to. Like other essential elements of your home or commercial property, putting a little extra into them can help your home feel deluxe, high-end, and enviously stylish. And if you want to see what your options would look like in your space, we can help. Ask us about an in-home consultation so you don’t have to use your imagination to see what décor excellence you could achieve in your home or your commercial property.

Materials and Colours

Much of what makes a shutter or blind high-end is the materials and colours that you choose. Colours should be dependent on the room that the window dressing will be installed in. While an intense grey might look very high- end in a home you see online, there’s no guarantee it’ll look that way in your own home.

Better materials, on the other hand, have a way of looking high-end no matter what space you put them in. Better textures will always look nicer, move and fall better, and seem more high-end naturally. You can typically tell a material is more high-end by the price point, but with promotions/sales you could get a great deal. Let the salespeople show you any stand-out materials that they think are underpriced.

High-End Window Shutters and Blinds

While material and colour matter a lot to get the deluxe look, types of blinds and shutters matter too. We find that California shutters, in Milton, are widely felt to be high-end. Roman blinds and Roman shutters are also more deluxe options that help your home look better.

ROLLER SHADES ARE THE ANSWER

With so many questions that our clients ask us, roller shades are usually the answer. These simple, flexible, and valuable shades pack a lot of personality and many features, especially considering their low price point. If you have some unique needs for your window dressing, chances are window roller shades will work for you. If you’re not sure what you want, you can always ask us about an in-person consultation so you can see your options right in your space. Here are questions you might have and, as you guessed, roller shades are the answer.

Which Window Dressing Option is Easiest to Clean?

Cleaning is, of course, a big concern when you’re buying blinds. Who wants to wipe down each slat individually? With roller shades, you don’t have to do that. The shade is one long piece of fabric and won’t collect dust in the same way blinds do. Plus, cleaning the roller shade is as simple as cleaning the window, a single spray, and a wipe-down, helping you cut down on dust and keep your space feeling fresh and clean.

 

Can Any Window Shade Type Work with All Styles?

While many different window shades work with only a certain style, roller shades are very flexible stylistically. You can choose from a wide range of fabrics in various colours and patterns. As a result, you can find a roller shade to match any interior décor style you’re aiming for. We can help you choose the right one if you’re not sure what will match your space.

 

Which Window Option Can Get Me “Blackout” Light Blocking?

Shift workers, those with migraines, or anyone with a need to block more of the sunlight will appreciate that roller blinds can come in very thick fabrics which create that “blackout” look. You can control the light in your space completely with thick roller shares with thick roller shares, especially if it’s a bedroom or living room.

 

How Do I Cover Large Windows in a Business Property Economically?

We offer roller shades in commercial grade. They can cover huge windows at a lower price point than many other window covering options. Plus, they can be motorized or on a timer, making it simple and convenient for your staff to open and close the blinds for your business. This can be convenient to help reduce cooling costs in your property, create the right ambiance for guests, or keep the glaring sun out of your employee’s eyes.

VERTICAL BLINDS: TODAY’S OPTION FOR WINDOW TREATMENTS

When you think of vertical blinds you may think of decades that have gone by. It’s true that vertical blinds were more popular in the past. However, they are making a resurgence, and for good reason. Unlike horizontal blinds, vertical blinds let you control the view out your window. They give you more light and privacy control, in two different dimensions to control how much they are drawn across the window and how much the blinds themselves are turned open or closed. If you’re looking for a more flexible option for your commercial blinds or home blinds, then you might want to look into vertical blinds. And if you’re ever having trouble figuring out what might work best for your space, feel free to reach out to us and ask about an in-person consultation.

 

History of Vertical Blinds

 

Vertical blinds were invented in the 50’s and reached greater popularity first in the 60’s. In the 70’s we got thicker, stiffer vertical blinds with a few more fabric options. However, many people found that there were still too few options.

 

These blinds were invented in Kansas City, Missouri, by Edward and Frederick Bopp. Perhaps it was the intense Missouri sun that inspired this very practical blind style. All we know is that the Bopp brothers sold their patent on the blinds and now a multitude of blind manufacturers produce them. We’re happy to say that we stock a wide variety of them so you can customize your space and have it serve you exactly how you need.

 

Advantages of Vertical Blinds  

 

There are many advantages to vertical blinds that you might be interested in:

• Easy-to-clean: While horizontal blinds collect dust quickly, vertical blinds do not. You’ll find that you have to clean them less often and when you do have to clean them it is significantly simpler. Your allergies will thank you.
• Light control: Vertical blinds can be drawn closed or open, and the slats themselves can move to allow in some light even when closed. Or they can be closed to block out all light or to keep your space cooler during the hot summer months. You have many more options to get just the right lighting when you own vertical blinds.
• Privacy control: Have you ever wanted more sunlight to come into your home, but still block the neighbour’s view? You can achieve this with vertical blinds. You can adjust the blinds to get the perfect amount of light and privacy for your needs.

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN SHOPPING FOR BLINDS

What To Know When Shopping For Blinds

Hire The Experts!

There are many things that homeowners can do themselves around their homes, such as painting, touching up holes in the wall, adding trim to the doorway or windows, or even changing out a toilet. However, when it comes to blinds, it can become complicated, and you will want a professional to help with this.

Why Are Blinds Tricky to Order On Your Own?

Here are a few things you may not consider while ordering blinds on your own:

1. Inside Mount vs. Outside Mount vs End Mount

There is a huge difference between all three of these mounting options, each requiring different measurements for production in terms of width and height, manufacturing deductions and brackets for installation on window trims verses wall mounts or end mount blind brackets.

2. Blinds Functioning Clearance

You need to look around the window to ensure there are no obstacles in the way of operating the blind or shutter.  For blinds, you will need to consider tilting, raising, or lowering. For Shutters, you will need to consider hinge style and opening panels. There may be a pendant light over a kitchen sink, molding from a cabinet, bulkhead, drywall, slanted ceilings in basements, window cranks or locks, European style windows, and more that you will need to consider when selecting your blinds/shutters.

3. Blind and Shutter Colours

It is imperative that colour choices are chosen in the home that the window coverings will be installed in, unless paint samples are provided, but even then, lighting can alter how a colour can appear. For example, white can look cooler or warmer when under fluorescent lighting or warm lighting. You really want the white in your window coverings to match your window trim, baseboards, or nearby cupboards so that everything in your home matches. Hues of blue, grey, and taupe can also differ from natural light verses artificial light and many fabrics will appear different in various homes as well.

 

The considerations listed above are just 3 reasons why you need to hire the experts for your window coverings, but I may write another blog sometime and share the expanded version of this topic.  I can’t go without mentioning the cost of a mistake. Trying to save yourself a few dollars can result in you ending up costing yourself more in the long run.

This can all be avoided by booking our free in-home consultation service where we bring our showroom to you. Our shop at home services allows our window covering specialists to make recommendations on site after seeing your windows and space.  We can truly learn more about your project, home reno, budget, and priorities this way.

At Milton Blinds we offer vertical blinds, roller shades, roman shades, vinyl shutters, wood shutters, zebra blinds, panel track blinds, and more. However, we find designer fabric roller blinds, solar screen shades, and blackout bedroom blinds are of the most popular choices for condo living.

Blackout Roller Shades offer complete privacy with one flat panel of fabric that rolls up and down by either a manual color coordinated chain operation or wireless technology motorization using a handheld remote or app device.
