Torgie’s Point of View

Are your Window Coverings or Blinds boring? There is an easy and affordable way to dress them up without changing them out.

Many people have white or neutral colored blinds. This is smart because many times, having color visible from outside the home is tacky. However, if everything inside the home is neutral, then this can appear boring or tasteless.

There is an easy way to get the best of both worlds. Sticking with a neutral color Blind or Window Covering is a good choice to make, but then you will want to dress up the blind with a top treatment.

Top Treatments are Valances, Cornices, Panels, Soft Treatments and more. They are a nice way to add color to your décor. Having an experienced Blind and Drapery Consultant come by and give you a “Personalized In-Home Consultation” Free of Charge will help you make a great decision.

There are thousands of patterns and colors to choose from to dress your window coverings. Don’t let this be overwhelming. An experienced professional can eliminate many of the choices with a “Personalized In-Home Consultation” and help you choose just the right fabric so that you make a great decision. They can also help bring together other items within a certain room by adding pillows, area rugs, bedspreads, and more.

So if your blinds are naked, dress them up with a beautiful fabric treatment today.

We all want a change every now and then. Everyday we wake up and we come home to look at the same style. Have we had the same style for many years and ever thought of changing it?

Many people will move their furniture around in a particular room to create some change. However there are many other affordable options that can make your house more like a home again. The three greatest changes are Wall Coverings, Floor Coverings, and Window Coverings. Out of these three, the most affordable is Window Coverings.

Many people don’t realize how much of a difference that a Window Covering, such as a blind or shade, can make to your decor. They will make many other changes, but leave out the one that is the most cost effective and easiest to achieve. You don’t have to pack all your furniture in a room for several days while your walls or floors are being replaced. Window coverings can be redone with almost little to no effort on your part.

So if you are ready for a new affordable change. Call a local Window Covering Company to come by and give you a free in-home consultation. They can assist you with the many products like 2” Faux Blinds, Plantation Shutters, Window Shades, Woven Woods, Draperies, Valances and many more…

So make the change… make it with Window Coverings!

Many people are tired of their 1” mini blinds. These were in style about 15 years ago. Now everyone is taking those down and getting rid of them. Many are going to the new wider slat look. With the wider louvers, you can gain many options, like an up-to-date style, better viewing, easier to clean, and more. You can achieve this in several ways.

The most impressive look is a Shutter. Some refer to it as a Plantation Shutter. Either way, they are furniture for your window and offer a rich clean look. They offer a variety of different size louvers so as to get the best look for your decor and the most visibility when looking through. Shutters come in a variety of materials, such as many different types of wood, composite, solid vinyl and extruded vinyl. Many times, the quality of a shutter can’t be seen just by looking at it, so don’t make a bad investment in your home.  Have a qualified blind company give you a free in-home consultation to help you make a great decision.

Another option is a 2” or 2 ½” Blind, sometimes referred to it as a shutter blind. These too offer a nice look and can be accented with a top treatment, valance, or drapery panels. These come in a variety of materials such as wood, composite, vinyl, and metal. When having a decorating consultant come by to assist you, have them explain which material would be the best match for you and your home. Blinds have many moving parts and a great warranty is very important. So ask your consultant about the manufactures warranty, the service warranty, and if there are any “no questions asked” options available.

So have fun changing out your old blinds for the new, nice, clean 2” look!
