Dressing your windows on a budget
By Ana Zuravliova
Making a home reach its style potential is very important but many of us get anxious about affording the things we think we need to meet this goal. Often top of the list are window furnishings which really make a room into a space of pure style and sophistication. Today’s blog seeks to demonstrate how you can beautifully furnish your windows without breaking the bank
Help reduce bills
When it comes to dressing your windows, making the right investment can also help you save money in the long run.
Any blind or curtain will help to keep the heat you’ve paid a lot for in your home and stop it from escaping through your windows. That said, different blinds provide different levels of efficiency. Honeycomb blinds, shutters and thermal roller blinds are excellent choices for keeping your lovely warm air inside your home during the cold months. What’s more, you can add a free thermal lining to any Roman blind or curtain allowing you to save money, protect the environment and make your home extremely beautiful in one purchase!
Invest in quality
Beyond the immediate cost of a window furnishing, you must always consider how long a blind, shutter or curtain will last. After all, an expensive blind that lasts for years is better value than a cheap blind that you may only get six months out of.
At Blinds Direct for example we offer a five year guarantee with all our blinds, shutters and curtains. Because of our talented and experienced team of craftspeople, commitment to using only the finest materials and dedication to quality, we are sure that your new blinds or curtains will stand the test of time.

Do it yourself
When undertaking any interior design task, one of the biggest expenses is paying for professional tradespeople. Obviously, there are many tasks where you will need a professional, but when it comes to furnishing your windows, you can certainly add a bit of DIY.
Measuring your windows and then fitting your new curtains or blinds is a far more simple task than you might expect. At Blinds Direct, we have all the information you’ll need to measure your windows and then fit your curtains or blinds. By undertaking these simple interior design steps, you’ll save time and money which you can invest elsewhere in your home.
Take your time and research
Just because you’re dressing your windows on a budget, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on your options. Take Roman blinds for instance.
Roman blinds are often seen as very expensive and, as a result, shouldn’t be considered when dressing windows on a budget. This is far from the case. At Blinds Direct, we have some beautiful yet affordable Roman blinds made from soft recycled materials. These Roman blinds are made to the same high standards as all our other blinds, cost less than many and will help save fabric from landfill – they’re an affordable win-win!
By following these easy steps, you can make a perfectly stylish statement around your windows without spending too much. Investing in quality fabrics and manufacturing processes will ensure you enjoy your new window furnishings for years to come with plenty of pennies left over to refresh other parts of your home!
