Blind, Shade, Shutter or Hybrid — Which is the Right Choice for You?
These days, there are more choices than ever when it comes to selecting window coverings for your home. Whether you’re looking to replace all your window treatments or just makeover a single room, the experts at Value Blind & Heirloom Draperies in Ashburn, VA, can help you find the window fashion solution that meets your design needs and your budget.
New designs of shutters, shades, and blinds offer functionality and styles that can complement any interior design theme. Each window covering type serves a specific purpose and creates a distinctive style.
Blinds: A window treatment classic, blinds have come a long way from the standard aluminum mini blind that debuted decades ago. Now, window blinds come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, styles, textures, and materials that work well with contemporary and traditional décors. The louvered functionality of blinds allow you to tilt, open and close, and control the amount of natural light in your room.
Shutters: As a louvered product like blinds, most designs of shutters give you optimum light control. Shutters have a classic look that can complement décor types from rustic to European.
Shades: The large variety of available shades provides unique styles that other window covering types can’t match. Shades open and close vertically, come in a large variety of materials and colors, and can clear a window completely.
Hybrids: Window coverings that encompass the characteristics of other types like blinds and shades have multiple functions, can be sheer or semi opaque, can go up and down, be opened or closed, and can clear a window for complete privacy.
