You can buy from places Wooden Blinds Direct, or you can order online from home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot, or even Hunter Douglas and Graber will periodically put their best made to measure blinds on sale.
The key to shopping for and getting a deal on discount wood blinds is two-fold. You will need to commit to doing a little online research and secondly you will need some patience. Be willing to research which blinds will be best for your particular window treatments project, and then just watch and wait for those particular types and styles to go on sale.
In order to make blinds hunting job a little easier, the first thing you need to do is get a pad and a measuring tape and write down all the measurements of all the windows you intend to cover.
The best way to do this is to measure a window, write down the exact measurements, and then put a slash mark out beside that measurement. If your project is like most, you will have several windows of the same size, and keeping track like this will simplify things. You will find that a couple of your windows will be unique in size, but most of them will be the same size.
Next, hop on your computer and do a search for discount wood blinds. Look at a few of the online stores and kind of get an idea about the type you want, or maybe you've already seen some like you want in a magazine or someone's home. Are you looking for plantation shutters, woven wood, Venetian, 1 inch, 2 inch, vertical, curved slats or flat slats. Looking online will help you narrow down your search and will also give you a good idea of the prices.
But, don't buy anything yet. Before placing your order, go to your local home improvement store, either Lowes or Home Depot would be good or if not a Walmart will do. Look at the blinds you have been considering from your online research, they do tend to look different when you actually see them. Also, go to specialty custom blinds store, this will give you a chance to compare real wooden blinds made from cherry or oak timber to the faux wooden blinds made from composite materials, typically wood particles and vinyl. If you are thinking of going for really cheap blinds like matchstick, bamboo and some of those made from basswood, you can see what you are getting into before you unpack them out of the box.
Between your online research and your onsite investigation, you will have a very good idea of what will work for you in your home or apartment. Now, go back home, and go online prepared to search out a bargain on the discount wood blinds that will be perfect for you.
Here are a couple of things to think about when ordering from an online store. What is their return policy, and what kind of customer service do they have? Any reputable store will have an online chat service to help you will your order and will also have a money back guarantee.
When the blinds are delivered, look for damages. This is a frequent problem with wooden blinds. Also, make sure that you have received the sizes that you ordered. Most companies have all their blinds in standard sizes, but will also custom cut their blinds to fit your windows. They may have a no return on custom cut wood blinds, so make sure that your measurements are correct.
When you are replacing blinds, you are investing a good deal of money whether you are opting for arched custom made Norman Shutters, Hunter Douglas Blinds, 1 inch mini blinds, or some of the beautiful faux wood blinds, the key to being successful is patience.
Be patient, and you can buy really terrific discount wood blinds that will enhance the beauty of your windows and rooms, and you can do it without blowing your budget to kingdom come.
