Have you just moved into a new home or just remodeled? Maybe now you have many windows to cover and you want to keep up the personal feel of your new space. Cordless faux wood blinds, sometimes called cordless venetian blinds, can still work for you. Not all faux woods are created the same, and you can get sleek and beautiful coverage from the latest designs.
The old designs had a boxy fascia which was all but guaranteed to fall off when the clips broke. Under the fascia was metal hardware—less than ideal for looks. They had cords which could injure children. The small slats obstructed your view. The slat material aged poorly and turned yellow from sunlight. Sometimes they were sold with a large stack of slats at the bottom which added to the weight of the whole. Also, they were often installed to allow a large light gap on both sides that undermined your privacy. The old style of blinds gave essential privacy, but contributed little else as they aged—they may have even detracted from the feel of your home.
Today, enter Good Measure Shades’ multi tier selection of faux wood blinds. The breakable fascia is no longer integral to your blinds’ indoor presentation. The basic structure of the headrail is designed sleek, curved and attractive. All cords are now done away with by law for the safety of children. The slats importantly can be 2-½ inches which means fewer slats and greater view. The material doesn’t fade yellow in the sun, and Good Measure Shades gives you a custom fit with limited light gaps for privacy. Now, with large durable slats and a sleek headrail, our blinds will contribute to your space for years.
So how do you get a premium feel using blinds? Pure white blinds allow you to design freely, and even change your design later. You can change the paint color, update the pillows, refinish the floor, add new drapery, and the blinds will coordinate with it all beautifully. One of the best ways to get a premium feel is to conceal the left and right edges of the blinds using drapery panels—even hide the tilt wand. Drapes, especially when crafted locally, are beautiful, can hold their form yet be softening, and can balance neutral fabrics with bright colors in the leading edge tape. Imagine your favorite color-and-feel fabric on the outsides, a bright coordinating tape on the leading edges ending on the shadows of white slats aglow from the sun. There is no hardware visible, just clean lines and welcoming tones. Welcome home.
