Have you just built a new home or finished a renovation and already over budget? Thinking about changing your window dressings but don't have much money? Here are some handy tips worth considering when looking at purchasing new window furnishings.
To start with you will save plenty of money by measuring and installing the blinds yourself. Yes it may be a little time consuming but it is definitely worth the savings. You will need to measure your windows and research different window coverings. Home magazines are good for ideas however I find driving past people's homes having a sticky beak at their windows is the best form of inspiration.
Once you have taken your measurements you will be able to obtain an instant online quote for the blinds that you are interested in. Please ensure that you double check your measurements with a metal tape measure prior to ordering because you will kick yourself if you get them wrong.
If you are on a tight budget may I suggest you have a look 25mm Aluminium Venetian Blinds and Ecowood Venetian Blinds. If you want the timber look but cannot afford it Ecowood Blinds are about half the cost of real Timber Blinds.
Luckily, you don't need to spend a fortune to get your home looking fresh and inviting you and remember if you do it yourself you will save money that you will be able to use elsewhere within your budget.
