Curtains Blinds

Window blinds have earned its status as a popular home decor. It has gained popularity over the years and is considered a modern window accessory. Then how come curtains still reign supreme? There are several reasons why majority of homeowners prefer this traditional window fabric.

Curtains rule for many because of the easy maintenance factor. Cleaning the curtains only needs a good soak and wash. For the more idle (or uninterested) homeowners, simply bringing their curtains to a drycleaners seal the deal. Not so with window blinds. You have to wipe or brush each slat and for the slow-movers, this can take forever!

Another reason is the more affordable price of curtains and the flexibility in which to own them. You can shop for it or make it on your own. The trend in home design is veering towards lighter drapes hence, maintaining and making curtains become much easier.

For the promising tailors, making their own curtains is also a way to save on expenses. Even the hopeless bunch in sewing (like me) can create a curtain with some patience and perseverance, which unfortunately I don’t have. But with only a straight stitch to make with a sewing machine, who can’t do this?

Blinds are at a disadvantage in terms of color because they’re mostly limited to neutral and pastel colors. Curtains, on the other hand, give you innumerable colors and designs to choose from. You can easily personalize your curtains by mixing up colors and fabric textures for a unique piece. Patterns and prints are also options, especially if you choose to make your own curtains. Your choices are only as narrow as the selection in the fabric store.

An important note – in using more than one color and design, ensure that they go well together. Don’t just throw in every color you see. The curtains must still blend well with the rest of the room.

There are reasons aplenty why you’d want to use curtains instead of blinds for your windows. Aside from being easy to create and customize even for a novice, curtains can give cohesion to the visual elements of any space. Whether it’s a personalized no-sew curtain or a store-bought ready-made one at the end of the day, you’ll still get all of a curtain’s advantages. Besides, your savings from buying curtains instead of blinds will reassure you that you made the right choice.
