Most people can be overwhelmed when they start looking at all the options and features available for your window treatments today. In this blog I will go over some of the new features you have when shopping for your new blinds, shades, shutters and draperies. You could go to a big box store and get cheap standard cut down blinds that don’t allow you to get everything you want. But people are learning that there are great upgrades and features that should be considered before making a purchase your window blinds. Here are some of the most popular features you can trick out your window treatments with.
Cordless for shades & Wood Blinds
Choosing cordless blinds and cordless shades instead of corded ones has a number of great benefits. First, the absence of cords creates a sleek, clean look throughout the home. Cordless window blinds and shades tend to look less busy, as the cords can sometimes detract from home décor. Cordless blinds and shades are also the preferred style for homes with small children and pets. Installing all cordless products in your home is a great place to start in making your home more child friendly. Never place corded blinds and shades near a child’s bed or crib, and make sure that any cords you may have are tied down to the wall and have safety breakaway tassels on the ends.
SmartPrivacy feature on Norman Wood and Faux Wood blinds
This new Patented SmartPrivacy™ feature allows for optimum blind closure for the utmost levels of privacy. This innovative design concept would be the new generations of blinds to replace the existing routed/ rout-less traditional window blinds.
Add Top Down / Bottom Up to your Shades
Top down bottom up window shades are incredibly popular. Adding this feature to your window shades will allow you to raise and lower the shade in either direction to allow for privacy similar to that of a cafe shutter or curtain. They allow light to come into the room while maintaining your privacy. You can add this feature to roman shades, bamboo shades, woven wood shades, honeycomb shades, and even Hunter Douglas has Silhouettes available with the top/down bottom/up feature now.
Motorization
Motorization is perfect for the tech lover in your. Raising and lowering with the touch of a button, motorization is available on many different shades as well as some wood and faux wood blinds. It is incredibly popular and growing in popularity this year. It’s sleek, modern, and fun, but also perfect for those windows that are hard to reach.
Continuous Cord Loop
Continuous cord loop is a great option, especially for wider and heavier window shades. It allows you open and close your shade in an easy, fluid manner. By choosing the feature instead of the traditional style lift, you get rid of dangling cords that are not as child-safe. They’re also cleaner and sleeker in appearance than traditional cords. It eliminates the traditional dangling cord giving a neater appearance. This is a must for large heavy shades or blinds
