Safety
If you have young children, you may want to consider cordless blinds. The cords on corded blinds can pose a strangulation hazard to small children (and pets), so cordless blinds can bring additional peace of mind.
Style
Your style can show up anywhere in your home, so don’t forget to choose blinds that work with your style too! Bamboo or woven blinds give a boho feeling to a room, while thick fabric blinds provide a feeling of elegance and luxury. Looking for something more minimal? Stick with white blinds.
Cleaning
There’s no doubt about it—cleaning blinds can be a pretty irritating task. And different types of blinds are more difficult to clean too. As a general rule, wider wooden blinds will be far easier to quickly wipe down than narrow aluminum ones. Additionally, you typically can’t use cleaning liquids to clean paper or fabric blinds, so they must only be dusted.
