- Set a budget.
- Are you happy to spend time cleaning your blinds to keep them looking their best? Some blinds will attract more dust than others and some blinds may require more than just an occasional once over with the vacuum cleaner.
- Choose something that suits your room – traditional, modern, casual, formal, shabby chic, vintage etc.? Something that compliments your colors and wallpapers.
- Safety – If you have young children or animals you need to pick a blind which has safety features to stop it coming down at the wrong time, or dangling strings that can cause injury.
