When choosing a window blind or shade, select a color that matches your window trim in a neutral or subtle way. A good rule of thumb to remember is that your window blind or shade should lend color to your room, but it should not decide it.

Do you want a window treatment that will mesh with the furnishings and design already in a room? Experts say that does not require a repeat of the same color in the walls and furniture. Instead, try colors that are slightly darker than what is generally in the room. This will create a blended effect that can be quite attractive.

One of the main considerations for buying new window blinds is the weight of the slats themselves, which will have a direct impact on durability. Are the slats flexible? Breakable? How easily will they bend or break with repeated use?

Blackout window coverings or draperies are lined or coated window panels that are made from heavyweight fabric and designed to block light and insulate windows. This way, warm or cool air doesn’t escape, and outside temperatures can’t pe*****te the room as easily.

Love the minimalist look of Roman shades? Choose the type that suits your style. Classic shades have slats inserted into seams to create crisp, pleated folds when they’re raised. Flat shades fold horizontally, but because they have no slats, they’re flat and seamless when lowered.

Do you have a room that gets a lot of direct sunlight? Remember, the sun’s rays can damage fabric – even that of your curtains – so consider using a drapery liner to block out more of the sun.

The brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner can be your best friend when it comes to maintaining your blinds between cleanings. A quick going over with the soft bristle attachment on your vacuum will remove dust and leave the fabric or finish looking tidier and more attractive.

There are many decisions required in choosing window treatments. The most basic is whether your goal for the room is privacy or light – or in some cases, both. When privacy is a concern, the window treatment must be able to keep virtually all sunlight out, for example.

To keep your aluminum blinds looking fresh between professional cleanings, it’s recommended that you clean them regularly with a clean, damp cloth and mild detergent. You can also immerse them in a bath of warm water, but be sure to let them dry thoroughly before re-hanging.

When choosing your curtain rods, the first thing to consider is function. How heavy are the curtains that you plan to hang? Do you need something solid or are you looking for more of a decorative element?

Don’t forget that you must clean window treatments just like everything else in your home, because they can collect dust and allergens. However, be very careful with a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner, and don’t assume it’s OK to wash a curtain or drapery without first checking the manufacturer’s label.

If you've avoided blinds in the past because of the danger to children and pets that the cords can pose, it's a good idea to look again. Modern blinds have options like break-apart tassels, wand controls instead of cords, and single-cord controls without loops. For the ultimate in safety, you can even get remote-controlled blinds.

For a unique, elegant look, hang your curtain rods closer to the ceiling rather than just above the window frame. This allows for a longer flow of fabric and can also add height to the look of the room.

If you want maximum light control, then look for a bottom up option for your window shades. This feature enables you to cover just the bottom of the window while leaving the top part open to allow natural light and fresh air to enter the room.

Roller shades can also be used on sliding doors, as they filter out the sun but still lets you see outside. You don’t have to tug on it because it raises and lowers by a beaded chain control. However, every time you want to use the door, you have to raise them.
