Update Your Window Dressings With Vertical Blinds

By: Gary Wells

Are you ready to update your window dressings? Maybe youve been stuck with the old pull-shade look for decades. Or perhaps you moved into a new home six months ago but have not yet decided on the most suitable window treatment. If you want to make a decision and are looking for something a little more modern or different, consider the practical and up-to-date look of vertical blinds.

Although vertical blinds may not look well in all your windows, like the bathroom, for instance, they often fit very well with living room, family room, or dining room areas. A home office or den is another great place for vertical window blinds. Their top-to-bottom strip design adds a contemporary touch to any window, and they come in a variety of widths, styles, and colors that will blend with any dcor you are using or plan to use.

Vertical blinds are easy to open. A popular design comes with a thin, plastic rod that can be pulled to or fro to move the blinds. The same rod, or in some cases, a double twine lever, will rotate the blinds to open them the desired space to allow sunlight into the room. This device also makes them easy to clean and maintain. Since the lever and rod are located at the top of the blinds, you dont have to worry about toddlers or pets breaking or chewing on them, and possibly getting hurt or causing damage.

Some people use vertical blinds on their sliding glass doors, as well. They can be opened in the morning or any time of day to admit light and brighten the adjoining room. When they are closed at night, no one can see in. When hung in neutral shades, they blend nicely into a backdrop of your wall color or paper without seeming obtrusive or glaring.

Weighted by metal plates tucked into the hems at the bottom, vertical blinds maintain their shape and are not easily broken. However, if one becomes stained or torn, you often can easily find replacement strands. Better yet, when you initially purchase the vertical blinds, see if you can get a few extra strands that can be used as replacements, if needed. Some people even buy an extra vertical blind to keep on hand for future need.

Many offices and professional structures, like churches or social agencies, use vertical blinds as window dressings. This eliminates the need for draperies or curtains, if desired, although some people use a valance or even full draperies with their vertical blinds. You dont have to worry about pleats, folds, laundering, and ironing when you hang vertical blinds instead of fabric draperies.

Your windows will maintain their functional beauty and practicality when you install vertical blinds to accent them. Compare the cost, maintenance effort, and appearance of vertical blinds with other types of window dressings. Shop at your local department store or in an online catalog for a wide selection of styles and prices.
