BLAIRSVILLE, GEORGIA (Thursday, October 26, 2006) - Every year since 1996, according to Entrepreneur Magazine. And, in Blairsville, Georgia, Budget Blinds offers to help people discover the freshest ideas in window coverings, for anyone considering convenient, cost -effective decorating.
Rick Siefken, franchise owner of Budget Blinds in Blairsville says, "your home should be your haven from the outside world. It is important to create a comfortable space that you can retreat to at the end of your day."
When people are updating a decor, changing window coverings can have a big impact "If windows are still sporting 1/2 inch mini-blinds purchased in the 1980's, it's time for an update," according to Seifken. Window coverings have come a long way and include woven woods with decorative tapes, shutters, 2-3 inch wood blinds, honeycomb shades, and much more.
"What do we have that other window coverings don't?" asks the Budget Blinds literature. "Everything!"
Hottest New Features
If you are concerned about the safety of children and pets, window coverings offer a variety of stylish options with safety features such as cordless lift and tilt controls. Today's window treatments offer a wide variety of features that allow the homeowner to control light and privacy. One of the newest features to ask about is a top-down-bottom-up feature, which is a cordless lift control and motorization.
Rick and Dee Dee Siefken say that motorization is one of the "hottest features" being asked for in window coverings today. And, shutter and wood blinds are especially popular because they allow natural light to shine through, so not only are shutters a great way to provide extra insulation, but they can also add to the value of your home, according to the local Budget Blinds representatives.
An easy way to make a small room look and feel more spacious is to add large louver shutters or 2 5/8 wood blinds to the windows. The larger the louver, the larger the window will appear and the larger the room will feel.
