Tips On Buying Wood Or Vinyl Window Blinds
Vinyl window blinds or wood window blinds can be a good alternative to curtains. Blinds do not fade in spots due to exposure to sunlight as curtains do, blinds are often cheaper than curtains and they are easier to care for and keep clean.
The prices vary a lot depending on where you buy the blinds, what they are made of and what size you need. It is important to measure the window before you buy the blinds; if you buy the blinds online or buy custom window blinds, they can be difficult if not impossible to return if you get the wrong size.
Vinyl window blinds come in different colors and are quite affordable. Some of the cheapest ones are the Living Accents Vinyl Mini Blinds, Ace Hardware Mini Vinyl Blinds and the Essential Home Light Filtering Vinyl Mini Blinds. You can buy any one of these for anywhere between $5 – $10, depending on the size needed.
If you like the wooden look but do not want to buy wooden blinds, then try vinyl wood blinds. They are made from 100% vinyl but look like wood. These blinds are easy to clean and can be found at affordable prices from Target, Amazon.com and eBay. Vinyl wood window blinds can be white, light or dark brown.
Wood window blinds are a lot more expensive but much classier as well. They come in different shades and can be made from either real hardwood or faux wood. Faux wooden blinds are a lot cheaper but they are not quite as elegant as real hardwood blinds. Faux wood window blinds can be bought for under $15 from Overstock.com, Target.com and Amazon.com.
If you are looking for affordable real wood window blinds, then a good place to check out is Ebay. This site is currently selling new 2″ real wood window blinds in a number of sizes in the range of $21 – $24. Other affordable options are the Designview Real Wood Old Teak Blinds selling at The Home Depot’s online retail site for $32 and the Universal Home Fashions Real Wood Brown Blinds selling at Overstock.com for $29.
Custom window blinds are usually quite pricey. While they are great looking in any living room, bathroom, kitchen or bedroom, you may want to consider other options that are more affordable. Since there is a great variety on the market, it should not be hard to find a set of blinds to suit both your tastes and your budget.
