window treatments

When we moved into our new home in May, we had naked windows. The builder could have installed blinds for us, but we averaged out the cost of the installation by the number of windows in our new home, and the price per window was insane. Yes, it would have been easier to have someone else do it, especially when we were trying to paint and unpack, but I couldn’t justify paying 2 or 3 times too much for blinds on each window.

We ended up buying white 2 inch faux wood blinds for every room in the house, and we saved a lot of money by doing it on our own. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to install blinds - as long as you can handle a drill and a tape measure, you’re good to go. If you’re wondering why we chose the faux wood, it’s because it holds up a lot better in the heat and humidity of Florida. It looks real, but it won’t warp! Buying blinds and window treatments online from a store like Guaranteed Blinds will save you a lot of money, but you’ll still get a great high end, custom look. You don’t need to worry about measurements either - just decide how you want your blinds to hang and then follow their measurement guide to get the perfect fit.
