Let’s face it: there are so many options when it comes to window treatments, it can be daunting to figure out what you want, right? Right! Starting with the basics can help though. Finding out what’s available is a great start, and then you can figure out what looks good, what you definitely don’t want, and decide what you want! When you’ve narrowed it down, B&B Window Coverings can help you choose based on the benefits and advantages of each type.
Technically, blinds are hard window treatments composed of movable slats that can be tilted opened or closed when the blind is lowered. Shades are raised or lowered by a cording system or a spring component. Blinds and shades can be fully customizable, and offer complete light and privacy control. Also, they have an endless variety of design choices and options, which is very appealing to new homeowners or homeowners looking to do an upgrade!
Wood Blinds
Wood blinds are very common and are found in most rooms. Made of natural wood slats that are either painted or stained, they are a great option for any room. With simple construction, they are very popular and they also come in many finishes ranging from bamboo and stained ebony to light pine and many other options. B& Window Coverings offers many different slat sizes as well depending on the type / degree of control you prefer and the privacy and light control you desire.
Faux Wood Blinds
For great value and pricing and an uncomplicated look, faux wood blinds are a great option. They are efficient, affordable, attractive and easy to maintain. Faux wood blinds look and feel like wood blinds, but they are attractive because they are less costly and stand the test of time due to their durability. They won’t warp or fade and are great for humid climates or those with high moisture like a bathroom.
Shutters
Adding charm to windows, shutters are one of the more beautiful window treatments, and can also add value to your home. Helping to control incoming light, they also offer privacy when closed and when it gets hot, cold, or noisy, they can help insulate that. Often described as timeless, they add a level of sophistication to any room.
