Blinds and Shades Becoming Art
Many people move into a new home and just accept the window treatments that come with the home. Other people remodeled their homes 15 or 20 years ago and have recently started thinking that some updates or changes might be a good idea. Instead of just heading out and purchasing some more practical shades, why not consider making your window treatments into art. It's really not that hard. All it takes is a little knowledge and a little creativity and before you know it, blinds and shades have become the focal point of your room. Blinds and shades provide valuable services, such as cutting glare, reducing light, noise, offering privacy and increasing energy efficiency in a home. But they can be so much more that that. Blinds and shades can be fashionable, stylish and attractive.

Window Treatment Solutions for Seniors
Aging comes with little quirks of the body. Some days hands and knees are stiff, other days the whole body can feel just tired. Those who have heavy window shades may find it becomes harder to open them and close them while trying to prop the middle section for support. If you feel that way, you aren't alone. However, there is a solution: purchasing window treatments that are lightweight and easy to operate. No one needs to waste time fussing with a window treatment just to let a little light in.

Collegiate Window Shades
Where were these window treatments when I was in college? These are so fun and fabulous. Window shades now come with your school's logo on them. There are a variety of logos to choose from for each school to match your color scheme or you can just pick your favorite design.

Matchstick Shades
Matchstick shades are also known as bamboo shades or woven wood shades. They offer an elegant South Pacific or tropical feel to a room, apartment or guesthouse. Generally, each woven wood shade will be slightly different in appearance as the unique characteristics from each piece of wood will be slightly different.

SlumberShades
Some of us have a good night's sleep every night, but others of us struggle with light sensitivity from street lamps, or the inability to sleep during the day. Those with night jobs often struggle to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep, the recommended amount of time needed for a good night's sleep, as their bodies are telling them they should be awake with the sun. New shades have hit the market to help resolve this problem. They are called SlumberShades and they block light from windows, using an innovative sidetrack system. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the best night's sleep comes from a dark, quiet, comfortable atmosphere.

Cordless Blinds Save Children’s Lives
Every year children die or are injured from dangling cords attached to window treatments, blinds and shades. The threat comes from kids or pets playing near window treatments where they can become entangled in the cord. While organizations are set up to help educate parents about this issue, we don't think there can be enough information about children's safety.

Buy Faux Wood Blinds
Let's talk faux wood blinds for a minute. I know, the holidays have just ended and money's a little tight right now. The recession isn't over and no one is throwing around money. So if you are remodeling a home, apartment or office building, or need to update your house or finish your home for sale, you might feel like you're in a bit of a pickle. You need blinds but you don't have a lot of money to spend.
