subject: Decorate Rooms Using Vertical Blinds [print this page] When people buy a brand new house they sometimes forget about the small things such as buying blinds and curtains for their windows. These are very important to have in each room as they provide privacy, keep out the sun, and help accessorize each room. Different types of blinds can be purchased such as vertical blinds or mini blinds. Vertical blinds do not work in every room but they look really nice in rooms with big windows such as a living room or a family room.
Vertical blinds hang from a window vertically. They have individual, free hanging slats that hang from the top of the window to the bottom of the window. The most common type of blind would be made from vinyl material but they can also be purchased made out of fabric or aluminum material. The window blinds do cover the whole window to keep all the let out but they can also be pushed to the other side of the window to let all the light in and so everyone can look outside. They can also be left covering the whole window but be adjusted so light can still come in some.
Anyone who has pets or children can appreciate this kind of blind. As these blinds are not as easily damaged when pets poke their snouts through to try to look outside or when children run to the window to see what is going on outside. This saves a lot of money from not having to replace damaged mini blinds so frequently.
With this type of blind, curtains can be used if one wishes to add more color to the room. Most of these blinds come in the color white. Some people may wish to add some contrasting color to the room by hanging curtains over the window blinds and this is fine. This will also help soften the look of the room as well. Curtains are optional though, as some people may wish to hang just the window blinds only.
When the window blinds get dirty then they are easily cleaned. Just take a soft rag, wet it a little bit, and scrub the dirt off the window blinds gently. If the dirt is hard to remove, then a little bit of multi purpose cleaner can be used to help remove tough stains.
To purchase blinds, any kind of home improvement store, specialty blind store, or discount store can be visited. Any of these stores should carry a pretty good selection of blinds.
Do not forget to measure the windows before purchasing the window blinds. They do not come in a one size fits all size. It the windows are note measured before purchasing the window blinds then most likely they will not fit the window. If assistance is needed then it is good to visit a home improvement store or a specialty blind store where a professional can answer any questions or help provide measurements.
Remember, when moving into that new house, that each room is going to need curtains and blinds. Remember to measure beforehand and to choose blinds to go with each room. Do not forget about vertical blinds for the living room and family room areas.
