Large windows are usually a focal point of a home. Don't hide the view with cumbersome window coverings. When open, vertical blinds reveal the entire window for a full view of the outdoors. When closed, they provide privacy and climate control.

Many have the misconception that vertical blinds are boring. However, vertical blinds are some of the most versatile window coverings out there. Add a splash of color with bright hues. Bring nature indoors by opting for faux wood or go with smooth PVC blinds that subtly blend with the room to draw attention to the beauty of your french doors.

Kitchen and bathroom window coverings tend to need cleaning more than coverings in other

rooms. Condensation and the grime that accumulates when cooking make vertical blinds a great option for these rooms. First, the vertical orientation of these blinds reduces the amount of dust that settles on them. Secondly, the smooth textures of faux wood and PVC make them easy to wipe clean, and resist moisture build-up that can lead to warping. Lastly, if sufficient soiling occurs, the slats can easily be detached for deep cleaning. repair or replacement.

Decorating a new home is very expensive. You need privacy immediately, but you may not have thousands to invest in window coverings. The cost of vertical blinds makes purchasing them for entire rooms or homes very reasonable. However, you don't have to feel like you are settling for a "cheap" option. Vertical blinds add class and glamour to any room. They are available in bright, vibrant colors and numerous textures.

Even stat widths can be customized to your preference. The cheap, cracked, noisy vinyl blinds you remember from the 80s are a thing of the past. Rich textures and a smooth, quiet glide are features now available. If you don't want too much of a uniform look, try mixing vertical blinds with other coverings. Vertical and horizontal blinds go well together, even within the same room.

Drapes can also be added to vertical blinds for a richer look. Get the privacy and energy conservation you need now and add drapes down the road when you get over the initial expense of moving into a new home. Or, put your vertical blinds in lesser seen rooms and invest in more expensive coverings, like Norman Shutters in your main areas.
