Common Misconceptions About Window Blinds

Here’s a guide to the most common misconceptions about window blinds as prepared by the expert Los Angeles blinds installation team here at LA Shades and Blinds.

  1. Blinds and Views – Some people falsely believe that blinds ruin views. The proper blinds can actually enhance your views – just choose to install blinds that properly fit the size of your window and match the decor and aesthetic of the rest of your home.
  2. Blinds are Hard to Clean – Blinds are actually very easy to clean and maintain. You just need to choose the right blind material. Our custom blinds are very easy to clean by simply dusting them and wiping them with a damp cloth lightly when needed.
  3. Blinds Break Easily – Blinds made of the proper materials are actually very durable. Some blinds, like aluminum, wood, and faux blinds can last for many many years.
  4. Blinds Aren’t Good for Homes with Small Children – While hanging cords for window treatments aren’t safe for children or pets you can wrap up the extra cords to lower the threat. However, it’s best recommended to opt for a cordless blind or a motorized blind that can be controlled with a remote control or smartphone
  5. There’s Limited Choices for Blinds on the Market – This is patently false – there’s a massive variety of blinds on the market, in a  ton of different designs, textures, fabrics, and finishes. Simply choose any type of blind that you prefer, and have the custom fit to your unique specifications for a perfect fit.

Expensive Blinds are the Best– While some people think only the most expensive window treatments are the best, there’s actually a ton of super affordable, yet high quality, blinds on the market today that can provide all of the benefits and even luxe feel of the more expensive blinds models.
