Window Blinds Info and Tips

Jane asked:


I just got new retro-fit windows in my house and I love them! But now my old blinds don’t fit anymore. That’s okay because I was ready for a change anyway.

I would like to order white wood or faux-wood blinds for many of the windows. Where is the best place to get them? I have looked at blinds.com and that looks good, and I am thinking about having Budget Blinds come out and give me an estimate.

Has anyone had any good or bad experience with either of these companies, or any other nationally operating companies? Thanks for any suggestions!

our dining room and living room (both lower level) have red oak flooring, the rest of the house is carpeted. Our walls are khaki and our window trim is white. We are thinking of matching the blinds to the hardwood floor. Would this work? And should we have all of the blinds be the same color, or is it acceptable to mix it up from room to room? We are concerned about having different color blinds viewable from outside the house. Thanks in advance.
