Roller Shades
By: Sai
What do you think of when you think of roller shades?
I know what I remember, and believe me it is not a pretty site! Does anyone remember when you could pick up roller shades from a local store? Those things were hideous! They were the cheap vinyl, and they only came in white or off white. The way they operated was horrible. I still have scars on my hand! Remember they were on a spring system, so you can catch and stop it in place, but it seemed to never work. I would try to stop it in place and it would just spring back up. They did have a scallop option at the bottom, but you could never pick the scallop style they were always the same. I always said they needed to be updated somehow. The only nice thing about them at that time was that they were just easy to clean.
What do you want your shade to do for you?

I am having a huge problem! I cannot decide what I want to do in my living room. There is a huge amount of window space in there. You see, there is a picture window, which is a big window in the middle that is stationary and two small ones on the side that have cranks so they open. There is a double window on each side of the room, and windows on my French doors. As you can see, there is a lot of space that I need covered. This to me is an open canvas, there are so many directions I can go. It’s confusing!
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.
My New Bay Window
By: Stef
I just moved into a new apartment last week. It’s huge, spacious, and has a nice open floor plan. Right in the front of the house, there is a huge bay window – two small angled windows, and one large pane in the middle. It’s great, except I feel like my life is a show for all of the neighbors to watch every night, because they can clearly see everything we do.
What am I Supposed to Match to???
By: Karen
We recently redecorated our dining room, and the only thing left to do to the room is window treatments. No matter what room I decorate, it seems that the window treatments are always left until the last minute. In reality, it’s because I have no idea how I’m supposed to match them to the rest of the room.
