Some homeowners spend small fortunes on stylish-looking windows, but protecting them too often takes a backseat.

If you’re in the market for new window treatments, or need to replace your current ones, custom blinds are the way to go.

Here, we examine their many advantages and how they can be used to reflect your personal style.

 

Why Go with Custom Blinds?

Do you have an oddly-shaped window? Can’t find the perfect look? Custom blinds are the answer to these challenges for a number of reasons.

 

1. You Can Personalize Their Style and Details

When you buy standard blinds from a store, there is no flexibility in terms of their style or measurements. Customized blinds, however, are created by designers with access to materials with different textures, styles, and finishes. Any size, colour, texture, type of blind, whether corded or cordless – the combinations are pretty much endless. Whatever your preferred style, you will find something perfect and beautiful to match.

You can also add the details you have always wanted to your window blinds. You can go for specific hardware, choose from corded or cordless options, or add a little fancy decoration to make your drapes look more versatile; anything you can think of, you can get it done. These details can also be added after placing the order. Talk to your designer about the look you desire and they will guide you through your options.

 

2. You Get the Perfect Fit

Readymade blinds rarely offer a perfect fit. They are either a little too big or small, with gaps on the sides, which negates the main reason why you have blinds in the first place!

Only perfectly-fit blinds can keep your home warm and maintain the temperature inside by eliminating gaps, hence reducing your energy bills. Custom blinds maintain a snugfit, even on oddly-shaped windows.

3. They Offer Better Controlof Light and Privacy

Custom blinds give you better control over light and privacy. They fit perfectly on your window which means no unwanted light, cold, or wind will sneak past your window, unless you want them to. Also, no one will be able to look inside. When your blinds are down, you are protected from everything outside.

 

4. They Are of Superior Quality

The manufacturers only use quality materials, including the wood grain and fabrics. That’s one reason why custom blinds are expensive.

 

5. They Are Durable

Readymade blinds wear out more easily than custom-made ones, causing you to have to replace them sooner. Custom blinds don’t damage so easily so don’t have to be replaced as often. With proper care, they will stay looking as good as new for years.

 

6. They Are Easy to Order

Most custom blind companies offer online ordering, so you can easily select the fabric and style you like. Their staff will measure your windows in person and may even offer fabric samples. You can also label them to remind yourself which blind belongs to which window.

 

6. Delivery Is Convenient

Your custom blinds supplier will deliver and install the finished product, with some offering free and quick shipping. To understand their shipping policy, read the terms on their website or consult the provider.

There are many advantages to custom blinds. The key is to pick the right drapery company. Do online research into their work, including its quality. Read the reviews and talk to them about your requirements before placing the order. Remember, custom blind companies rarely have return or replacement policies. So, talk to them beforehand about what can be done if something goes wrong.
