Finding the right window treatments for modern homes
Although buying blinds seems straightforward, choosing new window coverings presents difficulties for some homeowners. Why? For one, the market is currently flooded with decent window covering options. It can be hard to navigate the morass of seemingly identical blinds and shades.
Before looking for new window coverings, homeowners should be able to answer these three questions:
- What’s your budget?
- In which room(s) will the window coverings be installed?
- What are your style preferences?
Knowing your budget, the location of the window coverings, and your taste will help narrow your search. By using this knowledge as a starting point, you can refine your search and decide which window coverings will look and perform best in your home. Remember, if you need some extra guidance, you can always contact the window treatment specialists at A+ Blinds.

Best blinds for new parents
Ready to take cord cutting a step further? Cordless window coverings are a safe and user-friendly window treatment for homeowners with small children and pets. Especially useful in nurseries, bedrooms, and playrooms, cordless blinds give parents peace of mind while also giving rooms a modern look.
Best blinds for sliding doors
Vertical blinds consist of vertical slats that slide from side to side, making them a natural choice for sliding glass doors. Incredibly customizable, these blinds can be made with a wide range of materials, including fabric, sheer, and vinyl. Vertical blinds are also popular options for patio doors and bay windows.
Best blinds for smart homes
Do you regularly talk to your Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device? Have you already installed your app-based security system and WiFi thermostat? If so, the next frontier of smart home programming may be investing in motorized blinds. Motorized blinds allow homeowners to raise, lower, and tilt blinds via remote control.
