The Function of Blinds

The function of the window treatment is what makes it a necessity.

When considering window treatments for your home or office, you have to also consider the need for window hardware, fit, wand options, placement, and safety considerations, before you make your purchase.

Keep in mind that there are window treatment solutions for nearly every window problem. Below is a list of a few window problems and window treatment solutions:

You want light, but don't like your view. There are opaque treatments, which are designed to be stationery and filter in light.
If you want draperies that open and close, select appropriate hardware, which will open and close easily.
You like the look of side panels, cornices, and valances, but also want privacy. Consider adding under treatments such as sheers, blinds, or shades.
If you have pets or a young child, then you want to stay away from long draperies, which may turn into tempting playthings. Instead, consider using decorative valances
and blinds or soft shades that stay off the floor.
A cord can be a deadly thing in the hands of a small child. If you have children or if your home is frequently visited by children, then ask for breakaway and safety window cord options when installing blinds.
If you want privacy, light, and a view, then consider top down/ bottom up shades. These increase your privacy and permit you to control your light, as well as the height of your blinds from either direction so you can have the view you want.
You want to see outside, but hate the glare and the damage caused by the sun. Then consider using transparent shades, which will not block your view but will
cut down on UV rays and glare. Transparent shades are made from polyester and work like a regular roller shade.
If you have a window that is difficult to reach, or it's difficult for you or a loved one to get around. You can order high-end window treatments with such tech options as light sensitive and remote control operation. For these you will need to consult a window covering store or an interior decorator for more information.
