Custom Blinds

The possibilities for custom blinds are endless. There is no job too big or no job too small and everyone will be pleased when you design the products yourself. There has always been a way to make custom window designs. There are all sorts of styles of blinds that include mini blinds, Venetian blinds, wood blinds, beaded blinds, paper blinds, pleated blinds, vertical blinds and bamboo blinds. All of these styles and there are many more that have not been mentioned, can be custom made. To do this you must first find a place that specializes in the making of blinds. There are many stores that do this type of work. Any store that is geared towards home improvement such as Home Depot, Builders Square, Sears, Beaver Lumber, Builders Box to name a few. There are also specialty stores that only do blinds. When you finally find the place you are looking for take the measurements of the windows and if at all possible bring a picture of the window. If you are redoing the whole room you may wish to bring samples of the carpeting, paint samples, fabric samples just about anything you have that will help in the decision for the making of the blinds. Although the decisions are totally up to the people who are the consumers the specialist will be more than happy to help with the decisions if asked at no extra charge to the patrons. After the blinds are measured and all the decisions are made as to what styles and details are requested. It will take approximately one week for their return. However most places of business require you to pay first as there will be no returns on custom made items in most cases. The cutting of the blinds is most interesting and doesn’t require a lot of time. What does take the time is putting them all together with the right colors and hardware. Some jobs require more than one color, perhaps a two tone window blind or a picture. It is harder to custom make a smaller blind than it is to make a bigger blind because of all the details involved. Remember if there is a blind made for a window that measures ten inches it will need the same amount of hardware and detail as one measuring five feet or more. There have always been the kind of blinds that

your grandmother had, you know the one on the roll with the tassels on the ends that pull up or down. Well here is some news, they still make those believe it or not.

It is always fun to try and decide which styles or patterns to have your custom blinds created for, but the end result is always fun. It is really common for custom blinds to be embossed with portraits, pet’s pictures, cars, celebrities and even landscapes for some people. One thing that you will know for sure is that when you customize your blinds, you will definitely have an original window treatment.
