The Great Home De-Clutter Project

Friday, 18 May 2012 02:55 by Budget Blinds

Did you partake in the traditional preparation for the months ahead via spring cleaning? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could keep that clean, fresh and organized look all year long? What if we told you it’s possible? Well, with expert tips like this, it is!

According to Katie over at Making This Home, regular purging of your belongings can go a long way!

I think that regular purging habits are important.  They make us so much more aware of what we already have in our lives and how much we’re consuming.  Our homes get a nice little lift.  And if you live in small spaces like we do, the place can feel just a bit bigger.”

She goes on to share some fantastic tips on purging your home that you simply must check out!

Another great way to keep clutter from building up? Pay attention to the little things!  TSH of Simple Mom really clued us in on cutting down on the clutter before it starts in her post. She goes on to explain that she  decided to implement ‘Everything has its place.’ From keys to bags, to shoes, and toys, I created a place for everything to go so that the reason for wallets, keys and cell phones on the buffet was no longer valid.”

Taking simple steps, like setting aside specific places for your belongings will prove to extend farther than you think in the great task of de-cluttering your home.

So, now that you’ve purged and organized, what’s left? Well a home wouldn’t be a home if it didn’t change with the seasons and give you that warm, comforting feeling! The best and simplest way of achieving this? Changing out your draperies for something softer and more airy! We love the use of sheers in the summertime to help reduce the heat in your home. Or, if you don’t want to worry about switching things out seasonally, why not try window film? This can help significantly reduce your energy costs and give you a decorative solution for privacy! Thomas Hicks has also just released a new pattern exclusive to Budget Blinds. You can check it out at the bottom of this post!

What are some of your favorite ways to de-clutter and spruce up your home décor throughout the year?

Budget Blinds Introduces New Woven Reed Blinds

Tuesday, 13 September 2011 08:08 by Webmaster

New Product Offers Homeowners the Look of Woven Woods With Light and Privacy Control of Blinds


Enlightened Style Woven Reed Blinds with Cloth Tapes, exclusively from Budget Blinds.

Budget Blinds announced today that it will offer its new woven reed blind to homeowners and business owners.  

 

“This stylish, new window covering offers the tropical appeal of woven wood, but the homeowner can raise and lower the blind or tilt the louvers to better control light and privacy,” said Tracy Christman, vice president of Budget Blinds vendor alliance.

 

The window covering looks like a traditional horizontal blind, but the louvers are unique. Each louver is comprised of woven, sustainable bamboo wrapped around an inner fabric liner.  This construction filters light like a woven wood shade, but the liner enhances light and privacy control.

 

Traditional woven wood shades raise and lower like a Roman shade, or the homeowner could opt for a feature that allows them to raise the bottom of the shade or lower the top of the shade for added versatility.  The woven reed blind operates like a traditional horizontal blind to offer enhanced privacy and light control to the user.

 

Budget Blinds added even more features to this blind to make it even more appealing to homeowners.

·         Homeowners can choose from seven earthtone colors, including two duotone styles, which means there are colors that can coordinate with a variety of decors

·         A modern trapezoidal bottom rail improves appearances and allows the blind to close more tightly for added light and privacy control.

·         Louvers are 2 inches wide to offer a wider field of view, fewer louvers to clean, and fewer moving parts

·         Motorization is available for enhanced convenience and safety.

·         Woven bamboo is a sustainable, renewable resource, which makes this a great product for eco-conscious consumers.

 

The Enlightened Style™ Woven Reed blind is available exclusively through independently owned and operated Budget Blinds franchises.
