Every year, springtime brings the promise of hope and better weather. In that same train of thought, it’s also the perfect season to upgrade your worn-out window treatments! Are your blinds discoloured or malfunctioning? If so, investing in new ones is a great way to update your space while customising the entire look of your living area. Whether for your bedroom or kitchen, new window treatments are a worthwhile investment.

Quality blinds can offer years of service, but even good-quality window treatments may need refreshing from time to time. Is it time to purchase new blinds for your home? Here are some of the most common signs that will help you make the decision:

Signs Of Discolouration

White blinds tend to age after a certain period of time and exhibit signs of yellowing. Due to their light colour, they’re also more prone to showing dirt and dust buildup from afar. If you’re noticing these signs of your blinds ageing, updating them to newer models is a good idea.

Are your blinds faded? If so, updating your window treatments is a great way to freshen your space! What’s more, window blinds are available in a wide range of designs and styles ranging from wooden construction to vertical and mini blinds are available in a myriad of colours. Selecting blinds in a shade darker than white can prevent them from showing their age.

Broken Or Malfunctioning

All window blinds have the ability to become damaged with use, but mini blinds are perhaps the most susceptible to breakage. To make your home trendier and more modern, consider upgrading blinds to higher quality constructions. For example, vertical luxury roller blinds can effectively block out light, withstand wear and tear, and look modern. Wooden blinds manufactured from quality basswood are also a great way to transform any given space. Investing in quality blinds from the start can save you money in the long haul.

Problematic Lifting

If your blinds have cords that are making it hard or problematic to lift your blinds on a regular basis, it’s time to think about purchasing new ones. Working with blinds that have tangled or malfunctioning cords is a time-consuming nightmare that may also pose a safety threat to members of your household. Fully replacing your old blinds will allow you to easily manipulate your window treatments once again. There are also options available that are easier to operate and less prone to snagging such as faux wood styles and cellular blinds.

Broken Cords

Cords may break or tangle which are necessary to operate blinds effectively. If this is the case with yours, you may find that they also become a security risk for your home. Replacing your old blinds with reliable new ones is a great way to enhance the aesthetics of your home while ensuring that your windows are safe from harm. To further protect your children and pets from stray blind cords, you can also opt to upgrade to cordless window blinds which are lowered using the bottom rail. There are many styles to choose from such as pleated, cellular, and classic to match your existing home decor. As a side point if you own a pergola you may want to invest in outdoor roller blinds for pergola.

Your Space Needs A Refresh

Outdated window treatments such as old blinds or no longer in-fashion drapes can all contribute to making your space feel dated. It’s important that your window treatments help modernise the look and feel of your home without compromising on usability and durability. Bamboo, faux wood, and basswood blinds are both traditional yet modern with different colour tones available such as cherry and butternut. If you prefer something more classic, consider opting for cellular or fabric vertical blinds.
