How to Create Your Dream Home on a Tight Budget

Whether you have just moved into your new home or are simply looking for ways to make some improvements, your budget is most likely your greatest concern. We all want our homes to look amazing, but finances stop many property owners in their tracks. If you want to make significant changes to your home without massive monetary implications, why not upgrade and update those old window coverings?

Blinds are affordable
Of all the window treatments on the market, blinds have proven to be some of the most cost-effective. Not only are the blinds themselves affordable, but so too are the various hardware elements. Unlike some other window treatments, you don’t need to spend a fortune on blinds for your windows to look their best. Not to mention, their easy maintenance means you will save a fortune on dry cleaning and maintenance fees!

Blinds are easy to maintain
Blinds are a dream come true when it comes to maintenance. A simple wipe or vacuum every now and them will more than suffice. Unlike curtains that need to be removed and washed, your blinds can be cleaned while hanging. If you ever decide to remove them and wash them, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Once they are clean, they can be hung back in place to dry.

Blinds add style and colour
Blinds are available in various designs, styles, and colours, as well as in horizontal and vertical options. You can order standard blinds or custom designs if you prefer. Obviously, the standard designs are cheaper, but they don’t necessarily always fit properly. It’s important that you measure your window properly before placing your order. As for colours, you can choose a different one for each room based on the colour scheme. There are lovely neutral colours available that fit any existing decor theme, which will help you save on future costs if you ever choose to change the colour scheme of the room.

Blinds help create a modern theme
The clean and crisp appearance of blinds is just what you need to give your home that modern or contemporary look. They are perfect for minimalist environments, as they also allow you to let the rest of your furniture and decorative items stand out. In other words, if you have a stunning rug with great detail, the simple design of your blinds will work wonders in this room. They will do the job of covering your windows without clashing with the stylish rug or stealing the limelight from your other beautiful decor.

It might seem like a minor adjustment at first, and you may wonder just how window treatments can make such a difference. The fact of the matter is that they can make a room feel cozier or more spacious. Choosing a colour that matches the walls will help give the room a more spacious appearance, whereas contrasting colours will ensure that your windows attract more attention. If you are not sure which style, size, or colour to choose, it’s best to consult with a professional. V+Home is always happy to offer free in-home consultations and estimates.
