WHAT’S NEXT FOR WINDOW TREATMENTS

We all personalize our homes with color and décor, but when it comes to the window treatments we tend to play it safe, and the result is a look that is ubiquitous in virtually every neighborhood in the country. Budget Blinds has an interesting product that allows us to venture a bit outside the comfort zone without abandoning all its trappings.

A current trend in interior design is to filter natural light and wash rooms in the glow created through fabrics. If this is a look you want for your home, then you need to consider Signature Murano® soft horizontal blinds, a product found only at Budget Blinds.

Signature Murano® blinds have all the light-filtering properties of fabric with the ease-of-use of traditional blinds. The product works well for busy homes. Its innovative design, a fabric louver supported by thin, flexible rods, resists warping. The easy-care polyester fabric is treated with a top coat that repels dust and dirt, but can be spot cleaned if needed.

Signature Murano® soft horizontal blinds work well in virtually any décor and any room. The product is available in four luxurious weaves and dozens of colors so you can choose a color to complement your decor. Additionally, the product can be used in traditional windows, bay windows or corner windows. Some of the features that can be added to Signature Murano® are:
Routless Louvers – Routless louvers come without the tiny holes in the middle of the louver that are found on traditional louvers. Routless louvers enhance privacy and block more light, which is a consideration for media rooms and bedrooms.

Tilt Control Options – Homeowners can choose from pull cords, wands and even motorization. Homes that have children present should consider options that eliminate pull cords.

Motorization – Motorization is in demand because it makes life a bit easier. Some systems allow the homeowner to program the treatment to open and close to control heat gain and make the home appear occupied throughout the day.

Decorative Cloth Tapes – Decorative Cloth Tapes are a great way to incorporate an accent color. Professional decorators recommend repeating a color or a pattern three times in a room – once in the lower third of the room, once in the middle third of the room and once more in the top third of the room – so the eye moves through the room rather than stopping. This eye movement makes rooms appear larger.

Wood Cornices – Wood Cornices add richness to your window treatment, block light and hide the controls, which may be visible from a second floor landing.

Budget Blinds suggests framing your Signature Murano® soft horizontal blinds with drapery panels and a valance in a coordinating fabric from Signature Fabric Treatments™ by Budget Blinds®. Bundling, the practice of using two or more classic window treatments on the same window, completes the look of a room and makes the window a focal point, much like a piece of art.

If you’re looking for a unique product that makes your home stand out from the sea of sameness, Signature Murano® Soft Horizontal Blinds may be just what your home needs.
