Six tips for buying window shades and blinds

submitted by Anthony Rich, President, Made in the Shade Blinds & More of Bucks County

  1. Decide on the room: Every room in your house has a personality and purpose. If you are looking to buy shades for your kitchen, sheer shades or light-filtering shades would allow more light in. If you are decorating your bedroom, room darkening cellular shades would be the way to go. For fashion, your living room should be the spot that should pop.
  2. Understand your options: Window shades and blinds have four features: privacy, light control, energy efficiency, and fashion. Most people like to find a window shade that offers all features, sometimes you will have to decide which feature you value most. These decisions depend on the room you are decorating.
  3. Who is in your home? Most window coverings professionals recommend tailoring your window fashions to the members of your household. If you have young children in the house, purchase cordless shades for the utmost safety. Or, if you have tall, difficult to reach windows, you might want to consider adding motorization for easy operation.  
  4. Measure, Measure, Measure! The number one mistake people make when buying window shades is not properly measuring. So, break out that tape measure and find the proper window dimensions. If you are worried about your window treatments fitting, it would be worth the money to hire a professional who will offer measuring and installation assistance.
  5. Find out which direction your windows face: Windows facing west and south usually receive more light, so you will want to look at thicker shades, like cellular shades or Solar Screen shades which are designed to diminish heat gain and control light. Windows facing east and north are easier to furnish because they aren’t exposed to the same harsh conditions.
