Category: Blinds-Curtains-Draperies - Topic: Best Place To Buy Window Coverings
There are a variety of opinions on whether window coverings (ie blinds, curtains, draperies) should be professionally installed and designed or should be purchased at big box home improvement stores and installed by the homeowner. Working with a small local professional in your area, though more costly, will provide you with a much wider selection of window coverings. He/she will also be able to consult with you at your home and understand your goals related to the form and function of each particular room. Understanding your home, budget, and needs the window covering pro will be able to help select the correct blinds/curtains/draperies for your home. If you do decide to buy from a big box store, make sure you have the correct tools and hanging equipment to correctly install and display your blinds. Don't be fooled by cost. Often cheaper draperies are made very poorly and will not be able to last hanging for a long period of time.
