North Collin County/Grayson County, TX — Budget Blinds offers several tips for busy homeowners considering convenient, cost-effective redecorating during Home Improvement Month.
“Your home should be your haven from the outside world,” said Charles Shepard, franchise owner of Budget Blinds. “It is important to create a comfortable space that you can retreat to at the end of your day.”
This season, the trend in décor and design is dramatic colors on walls, windows and furniture. Bold blues, reds, greens and purples are paired with neutral colors like ivory, taupe, brown, gray and even black. Those concerned about going too bold too fast can add bright colors with accessories—a rich red valance, a bright yellow floor pillow, or a deep blue throw rug.
In monochromatic rooms, textures add interest. Consider adding accessories such as a wicker basket, a shag throw rug or chenille pillows for an inexpensive quick change.
When updating décor, changing window coverings can make a big impact. If windows are still sporting ½” mini-blinds purchased in the 1980’s, it’s time for an update. Window coverings have come a long way – consider woven woods with decorative tapes, shutters, 2” –3” wood blinds, honeycomb shades and much more.
If you are concerned about the safety of children and pets, window coverings offer a variety of stylish options with safety features such as cordless lift and tilt controls.
Today’s window treatments offer a wide variety of features that allow the homeowner to control light and privacy. When shopping, ask about a top-down-bottom-up feature, cordless lift control and motorization.
Shutters and wood blinds are especially popular because they allow natural light to shine through. Not only are shutters a great way to provide extra insulation, but they can also add to the value of your home.
Soften the look of wood blinds, faux wood or mini-blinds by simply adding sheer panels over them to create romance and whimsy.
An easy way to make a small room look and feel more spacious is to add large louver shutters or 3” wood blinds to the windows. The larger the louver, the larger the window will appear and the larger the room will feel.
