Common Misconceptions About Shades, Blinds, and Drapes

August 6, 2022

In this blog entry, the Boca Raton shades and blinds installation service team here at Design Your Blind will detail the most common misconceptions that people hold about shades, blinds, and window treatments.

Blinds Cannot be Installed in Homes with Children

If you have children, window blinds might be a major concern. Some people think blinds cannot be installed in homes with children. This is a myth – simply install cordless blinds for safe, effective, and child friendly window treatment solutions.

There’s Limited Window Treatment Options

Many people aren’t aware of the huge array of window treatment options available on the market today. There’s nearly infinite variations in window treatment design, aesthetic, material, color, and sizing – which allows Design Your Blind to provide highly custom-tailored effective window treatment installation services to clients with all tastes and preferences.

WIndow Treatments Don’t Last Long

High quality, durably constructed window treatments are subject to rigorous quality control testing and can last decades without breaking! Design Your Blind only provides the highest quality window treatments to our valued clients.

Window Treatments are Hard to Clean

While this differs based on fabric and what type of stain we’re talking about  – fabric stains much easier than vinyl – it does count as a myth. With the proper cleaning solutions matched to the stain – like custom stain fighting enzymes – the majority of curtain, blind, and drapery stains can be effectively removed.

WIndow Shades have Confusing Operation

This is not quite true. While some elderly people or small children may have issues lifting wide, corded cellular or sheer shades, this limitation can be very easily remedied. If you have an elderly individual or small child in your property, consider installing motorized blinds, dual shades, or even smart hub controlled window treatments that offer the highest degree of customization and ease of operation.
