By: Sai
When shopping for blinds, be weary. I say this because you may see something you like and buy it on impulse. Especially when it comes to blinds. You see blinds are nice and they have a millions options you can add on to them. But then there is the question, do you really need them? I’m here to help you ask the right questions, to see if they fit what you are looking for. Let’s look at the most popular options in different blinds and see if they work for you.
Mini Blinds
By: Sai
I feel like mini blinds have been around forever. Why have they lasted so long? What makes them so special? Why do people like them so much? I remember when I was growing up you could just pick up a set of mini blinds at a corner store and put them up. There was one time that the blinds I bought were too big, but I made them fit. I took a knife and cut them to fit the window, those were the times. Nowadays mini blinds have grown to a point where they are all that matters. They are not your pick up and go type of blinds to just have privacy.
I love blinds! But we need to sleep!

I’ve come to a dilemma. I really, really like blinds more than shades. What I mean is, I love the idea of being able to control the light and privacy. My husband on the other hand, likes sleep, and the blinds that we have don’t block out enough light to allow him to sleep. Obviously, I’m referring to my bedroom. A long time ago, we decided that we were done with curtains. We took down all of the curtains, all of the rods, and had a professional come in and patch up all of the holes. (Let me rephrase, I didn’t just have curtains, I had drapes, in front of panels, in front of sheers).
Curtains vs Blinds

It seems like curtains are a thing of the past. Everywhere you look people are redoing their homes, and just doing blinds. There are even new types of blinds and shades that I had never seen being done before – bamboo, decorative shades, and decorative blinds. They come in colors ranging from white to black, and everything in between.
Narrowing it Down: Tricks to Making Your Window Coverings Easier to Choose
By: Liz
Many clients walk into my showroom on Long Island, and realize very quickly, that we here at Blinds To Go are not kidding when we say we have the world’s largest selection. There are quite literally over 25,000 options to price at BTG. Sounds overwhelming, does it not? The process of picking out the perfect window treatment can be. It is part, if not most, of the reason I’m employed. I’m trained as a Design Consultant to narrow you, as the consumer, down to the treatment that makes the most sense. The functionality, the decorative purpose, and the fiscal concerns are all things I already know to take into account. Most of my clients leave out at least one of these concerns, sometimes two out of three.
