Your home's windows offer a glimpse into the style and substance of your household, much like your eyes offer an intimate representation of the person behind them. Choosing custom window blinds that reflect the spirit and personality of your home is important, as is evaluating the specific needs and wants of the homeowner.

2. Remodeling is In! 

If you find yourself searching for function, longevity, and beauty in your window blinds, you aren't alone. In a recent article on the popular remodeling website Houzz.com, Leah Applewhite, real estate broker, notes a change in homeowner's priorities as they remodel their living quarters:

'"Were shifting the way we look at homes," she says. '"It's more of a place that nurtures us and our families. People are asking, "How does this enhance my life rather than my investment portfolio?" lf we have funds, we're spending money to make it a nicer environment for ourselves. " 

Results of a 2014 survey conducted by Houzz.com support Applewhite's statement:

"Overall the vast majority of homeowners (78 percent) are remodeling to improve the look and feel of their space. Secondary factors include making the space more functional (54 percent), increasing home value (52 percent) and upgrading features and appliances (47 percent)." 

Custom, classic window blinds are a highly desirable feature that make a home look finished and increases its 

value. Maybe there was a time when only wealthy folks consulted a custom window blind expert, but that time is over. It's now common for people to ask for a consultant's advice when it comes to making these important  choices. 

3. It's about more than style! 

In the Midwest, where winters reach bitterly cold low temperatures, and summer offers months of long, hot, and sunny days, homeowners recognize the need for window blinds that insulate against the elements while providing the flexibility to let the sun shine in on cold days and block it out on the hottest days.
