Before you select window blinds, you’ll need to dig deep to discover what you really want. Write down your answers to these questions before you do anything else. And use a pencil, just to be on the safe side!

Quantity: Will you need blinds for your entire house, just one room or a number in between? Cost is definitely a consideration here, so look at the number that will best fit into your budget or set a realistic timeline for covering all your windows with blinds from Direct Buy.

Size: How long or wide do your blinds need to be to fit your windows? Remember, width is actually listed first on window sizes.

Type: Would you like your blinds to be vertical or horizontal? What kind of material? There are tons of options here, and more arriving at your local Direct Buy showroom all the time, so take note of the styles that catch your eye and keep an open mind.

Mounting system: Would you like your blinds to be mounted inside your window frame? An important consideration here is whether small children will be around the blinds. In that case, look at the cordless styles at your Direct Buy showroom, or use a cord cleat that brings the continuous cord loop back into the top of the blind to avoid any potential dangers.

Color: Which hues work best for your home? Don’t underestimate the impact the right – or wrong – blinds will make in your overall décor, and think about how they will match your trim.
