Myth #2: They are difficult to clean

This misconception may frighten the health-conscious; nevertheless, easy-to-maintain blinds are available. It all depends on the type of material! The majority of bespoke blinds on the market are simple to maintain; all you have to do is wipe gently or scrub-wipe them twice a week.

 

Myth #3: They are short-lived and readily breakable

This is another blinds myth that continues to resurface across home owners and buyers. The material used in blinds determines how long they will last. Aluminium, wood, and imitation wood blinds, for example, are quite sturdy and may endure for many years.

Myth #4: If you have small children, you cannot have them in your house

Corded blinds’ hanging cords can be dangerous for children and animals; however, you can wrap the additional stretch of the threads to reduce the possibility of an accident. You may also pick from a choice of cordless and motorized window treatments that can be controlled with a single touch of a remote control or even a smartphone.
