Budget Blinds of Wilmington, NC Offers Seven Tips to Make Your Window Coverings Bloom on a Budget!

April 19, 2011 - PRLog -- As winter departs and spring debuts, many homeowners are eager to refresh their homes, while remaining mindful of their budgets.  The good news is homeowners don’t need to break the bank to simply spruce up the place or even change the look of a room.  There are many budget-conscious things homeowners can do to improve the look of their homes.

Budget Blinds of Wilmington, NC offers these suggestions to brighten your rooms this spring:

•   While paint color can change the mood of a room, window coverings can change the way light reacts with that color.
•   Adding a simple drapery panel to an existing window treatment softens harsh angles, adds a bit of drama with an accent color and makes a room more inviting.
•   Professional decorators repeat an accent color three times in a room – once in the lower third of the room, once in the middle third and once in the upper third of the room.  We suggest repeating that accent color with a drapery panel, coordinating throw pillows and an area rug.
•   To save some money when buying drapery panels, ask your Window Covering Consultant about stopping the fabric at the floor rather than allowing it to puddle.
•   Switch out your drapery panels and accessories seasonally to create a whole new look.
•   You may wish to choose faux wood over real wood. Faux wood is beneficial in that it resists warping better than real wood and is an excellent choice for humid rooms like kitchens and baths.
•   Invest wisely in your home décor. Although an item may be less expensive, the item may not be durable enough to withstand the rigors of your lifestyle, and you’ll spend more to replace it than if you’d purchased an item of better value.

These simple tips can help you enjoy decorating and changing your home décor without exceeding your budget. Call us for a Free In-Home Consultation and allow us to show you just how to improve your Window Treatments “on a dime”!
