Busting The Common Myths About Window
Blinds

Introduction

• Many homeowners find the process of purchasing
  blinds and shades to be confusing, especially if
  they have never done it before. When homeowners
  are looking for the best blinds and shades even
  in Calgary, there are a few myths about window
  treatments that can unnecessarily hinder the
  process and make it challenging for them to
  achieve the function and appearance they desire.
  In this blog we are debunking the myths about
  window blinds

• 1. Blinds are challenging to maintain and clean.
• Blinds are the preferred window covering when it
  comes to insulating space and granting privacy.
  But some people believe it is difficult to
  maintain them. Although they are delicate and
  take longer to clean, maintaining them in good
  condition is not at all difficult. All you need
  is the appropriate approach. Blinds must be
  vacuumed and dusted at least once a month, unlike
  other window treatments that can be cleaned with
  a cloth.
• 2. The window trim should be covered with drapes.
• It's a common myth that the window trim is the
  ideal place to hang drapes. However, this
  configuration obstructs natural light and gives
  the appearance of short, squat windows. Hanging
  drapes high, at least an inch or two from the
  ceiling, is your best bet. In terms of width, the
  drapes should be wide enough to let plenty of
  light in by having their inner edge rest on the
  outside of your window. Additionally, it gives
  the appearance of an elevated and wider window.

• 3. My house is too dark because of the window
  blinds.
• Window treatments' main purposes are to provide
  privacy and control light while highlighting the
  windows that they are placed on. However, not all
  window blinds completely obstruct light. Instead,
  they are available in various degrees of opacity.
  Although they can be opened during the day to let
  in light, blackout shades and other
  room-darkening window treatments are popular
  choices for bedrooms and media rooms. Choose
  sheer shades to accomplish that. These create an
  elegant glow without sacrificing style by gently
  filtering light through transparent panels. You

• 4. To achieve a minimalist aesthetic, window
  coverings should be avoided.
• The notion that window coverings should be
  avoided to achieve the minimalist style is common
  but untrue. The truth is that you should pick a
  viable option rather than avoiding it altogether.
  Roller Blinds, plantation shutters, or simple
  curtains, all work well with the minimalist
  design's emphasis on clean lines and natural
  light. We have a huge pool of choices at
  Sunblinds YYC in Calgary when it comes to window
  blinds and window treatments.
• 5. The outside view is interrupted because of the
  window treatment
• You probably use your sunroom or sliding glass
  door to take in the outdoors if you have one. Do
  you believe that using window coverings will
  block that view? Not at all. In reality, roller
  shades or shutters can be used to block out light
  and provide privacy on a door or sunroom window.
  They are easily movable from top to bottom so
  that you can protect your privacy at night by
  covering them and taking in the view outside
  during the day.

• 6. Window covering is pricey
• The type of window treatment, the substance from
  which it is made, the size of your windows, and
  their functionality all affect how many windows
  coverings cost. For instance, ready-made curtains
  are less expensive than custom ones and wooden
  blinds are more expensive than faux wood blinds.
  Not every option is pricey. Misconceptions about
  design are inevitable but adopting them can lead
  to hideous home furnishings. Instead, embrace
  modern window treatment options and add
  attractive blinds, shades, shutters, and curtains
  to your living area.
