Image Getting new window blinds installed in your home can be an important decision. You may already have window coverings that are functional and reasonable looking but you really want to upgrade and modernise your home.

Many people think this, but then don't go ahead with a purchase because they think it costs too much money. But what they don't consider is that installing new blinds is actually an investment, and not just about "prettying up the home".

Very few home owners realise that when they spend money on new window coverings for their home, they are actually adding to the capital value of the house. This is particularly important when they want to get a valuation or put their house on the market.

But you must consider this:

If you DO want new blinds, rest easy knowing you are not simply throwing money away. Because window coverings are an investment, you should also avoid trying to get a bargain and do it "cheap", but rather spend what you can afford. Choose the highest quality within your budget and add all the extras now, because it's unlikely you will go back and do it later.

There are a range of great blind styles out there including:
roman blinds, timber and aluminium venetian, plantation shutters, holland blinds, curtains, and a lot more.

A good company will be able to advise you on what works best in your various rooms. We have used Royal Crest Blinds and were very happy with their work. They installed curtains in both our bedrooms and awnings on the balcony. Ram was a pleasure to deal with and made the whole experience very easy. But here are some other tips on making sure you select a manufacturer/installer that's right for you.

So How Do You Choose a Reputable Company For Your Blinds?

  • find a company that offers a guarantee on the blinds, determine what you're covered for, and for how long
  • look out for any other terms and conditions, and beware of hidden fees
  • enquire as to when payment should be made, if someone is asking for a lot up front, be wary!
  • shop around, getting multiple quotes can help give you an idea on the best option
  • and the best strategy of all is to ask questions!

Good luck, and may your new window coverings look awesome!
