A popular trend is woven wood shades. Made from natural materials of bamboo, grasses, jutes, reeds, & woods. They are a perfect option for kitchens, dining and living rooms. Add a liner to your woven wood shade for added privacy and light control.

The most noticeable difference between cheap and expensive blinds lies in the quality of materials used. Expensive blinds are typically made from higher-grade materials such as solid wood, high-quality plastics, or metals, which offer enhanced durability and longevity.

Full-length curtains are best suited for spacious rooms while blinds are a better option for compact spaces and other moisture-laden areas like the bathroom and kitchen. Note that if there are any furniture pieces like a bed, or a sofa below the window then it is advisable to go for window blinds.
