Window Blinds Myths Debunked

1. Blinds will obstruct your view. Maybe the wrong blinds will ruin your view, but the right blinds will not only enhance the aesthetic of your room, but they will also deliver beautiful views. The key is to have blinds that blend with your decor and are the right size for your windows.
2. Blinds are too challenging to clean. This is a common misconception because blinds have many individual parts to clean. The good news is that most blinds are very easy to maintain. You can clean aluminum and faux wood blinds with a feather duster or soft cloth. You can use a cloth dampened with a solution of water and mild detergent for stubborn grime or fingerprints. Use lemon oil or furniture polish on authentic wood to not cause moisture damage. With all blinds, start at the top and work your way down to avoid cleaning the same area twice.
3. Blinds break easily. Blinds in the past were quite flimsy, and their reputation has followed them to the present day. When you purchase blinds from Blinds by Design, you can be assured your blinds are made from top-quality materials with industry-leading craftsmanship. Any product has limitations, but you can keep your blinds looking and functioning, like new for many years, with proper care.
4. Blinds are unsafe for homes with children. Dangling cords threaten children and pets, but many cordless options are available for your convenience and safety. The first-class choice in cordless operation is motorization. This innovative hands-free system allows you to operate your window coverings using a handheld device, your favorite mobile app, and even your voice. Other options can provide ease when moving large window treatments and small window treatments alike.
5. Options for blinds are minimal. Window blind options may have been limited in the past, but no longer. We have a myriad of custom design options, shapes, and colors to complete any space in your home. To learn more about the options for customization, get in contact with us.
