Replace Your Window Blinds With Modern Blinds

Time to replace your old  window blinds? Looking for new window treatment ideas and are tired of the same old blinds ? You’re not alone. I hear the question “What’s the fresh thing out there?” literally hundreds of times a month. With a society focused on having the new “in” thing, designers and customers are constantly looking for new, different, and cutting-edge window treatments. If you are like them, there are a few options out there to satisfy you’re craving. First you have to determine your financial plan and where the blind will be installed. After you’ve figured that out, its time to shop around. Do not focus on just one website or retailer as they’re selection is sometimes limited.

 Nearly all online window blinds retailers offer samples so make sure to take advantage of these. The color you see online might not be the actual color In person. This applies especially to natural materials. Now that you have some samples lets look at the different and intriguing styles accessible. One of my favorite styles is a line called “Illusion Roller Shades”. This type of roller window shade is a transitional type which means it’s produced up of panels. One panel is actual material while the other is just a sheer see through type material. The effect comes into play when you roll the window shade up and down. It transitions from half open to completely closed. Once completely closed, it allows minimal light to shine through. This allows the user to choose how much light to allow inside making this style not only state-of-the-art but practical. That allows this style to be a nice upgrade over a regular screen roller shade.

 Now that we’ve talked about an alternative to regular roller shades, let’s talk about an alternative to vertical blinds. Have you noticed that when you walk into a house for the first time your rarely notice the window dressings? This usually happens if the home has verticals installed. While verticals are cost-effective and practical, they have been around for a long time.

One alternative I like, are sliding panels. There are tons of options when it comes to material for these. As far as the operation goes, they are basically panels that align behind each other when in the “closed” position. To “open” the panels, the front panel is dragged from right to left which also drags the other panels behind it, closing out the opening and limiting the light input. These are just a sampling of some of the cutting-edge window treatments getatable to satisfy customers wanting new and new styles.
