Common Misconceptions about Blinds

In this blog entry, the shade and blind installation team here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will detail some commonly held misconceptions about blinds.

Blinds Ruin Views

Proper blinds can actually improve your views of the world outside. Just make sure that you choose blinds that properly fit your window size and have a matching aesthetic that compliments your interiors.

Blinds are Difficult to Clean

This misconception frightens people who are neat freaks – but it’s just that, a misconception. Simply purchase blinds that are easy to maintain and clean. The majority of custom blinds that we sell are easy to clean, they simply need to be wiped down or scrubbed about once a week.

Blinds Don’t Last Long

This myth is wholly untrue. The longevity and durability of blinds is dependent on what material they are made out of. Some blinds, like those made of aluminium, wood, or faux wood, can last for many years.

Blinds are Dangerous to Small Children

The hanging cord on some blinds CAN be dangerous to children or pets – however, you can wrap up the stretch of the wires to prevent accidents. You can additionally choose from a wide range of cordless or automated window blinds that can be run with a remote control of a smart device.

Price equals Quality

The fact is that construction and attention to detail when it comes to blind making is actually much more of a determinant for quality than simple price. Los Angeles Shades and Blinds provides a wide variety of shade and blind types that are incredibly high quality, but won’t break the bank!
