How To Decorate With Vertical Blinds

When re-decorating a home one wants it to reflect their personal tastes as well as

their ability to put things together that match and will create a special atmosphere. The windows have a big part in this scheme. The use of vertical blinds can make a tremendous difference it creating something that is outstanding and not mediocre.

Similar to regular drapes, the slats are mounted on a track at the top of the window and controlled by a pulley on the side. The slats, large or small, hang vertically from top to bottom. They are light weight and easy to handle as well as very attractive and practical.

There are many good features with this type of blind. They can be partially opened, in place, which allows just a small amount of light to enter the room or they can be opened entirely. In addition they can be pulled back, across the entire window, or split in the center and pulled to each side. The homeowner has a wide choice in how they use these window blinds.

The material used in these window blinds varies and should be selected according to their intended use. They come in wood, faux wood (a combination of wood and manmade materials), metal, plastic and material. The material is attached over a more solid base. Stores that have refrigerated units usually use plastic or metal on the door as it is resistant to moisture. This type of blind would also be very good in a swimming pool area that has a small open dressing area.

Many decorators are recommending the use of these window blinds, especially in hot and extremely cold areas. Their ability to block heat or cold is a substantial savings on the electrical or gas bill each month. In addition, they are a beautiful addition to any room's decor.

In decorating a room, unless it is part of the overall theme, one does not want a window that stands out as undecorated. One way this feeling has been overcome is to put narrow drapes on each side of the window and a valance across the top. This puts the vertical blinds in a frame like setting and adds greatly to the beauty of the room.

Choosing a special theme for a home can be an exciting project. In something such as Urban Chic, for example, these would fit in very nicely in a room where complete privacy is desired. In a home, more traditional, choosing walnut blinds would be ideal to tie the color scheme together. One must not forget offices where these window blinds are excellent when used in Boardrooms.

Since vertical blinds come in all colors and finishes, there is no end to the possibilities. They are especially popular for use in children's rooms as they are easy to clean and very durable. Wishing to do a girl's room in the theme of Snow White, for example, having pink shades would fit the color scheme very well. A boy's room decorated for star wars would have dark blue ones.
