These might seem like &#8220;dumb and dumber&#8221; but you don&#8217;t want to end up with brand new coverings for your windows and oops, they don&#8217;t fit, are ugly, or droop and just not what you had imagined.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n1. Don&#8217;t Reminisce About Your Old Blind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/measuring.asp\">measure<\/a> your old blinds or shades or any window treatment that you are replacing or upgrading. Ignore it and don&#8217;t even think about what size it is now. You are measuring the window opening, not that ratty old blind. I know you will want your window treatments to reflect your style with modern and complementary colors. Take a fresh look at your windows and be inspired by good design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/uglyroom_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6612 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/uglyroom_edit.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/uglyroom_edit.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/uglyroom_edit-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n2. Don&#8217;t Make It Dark<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Never choose a window treatment that blocks out too much sun, too depressing. Many new, slick options are available to achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=blackout\/\">room darkening<\/a> or light filtering without heavy and bulky materials. Yes, you can also get rid of the aluminum foil on your windows, too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6595 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4-107x107.png 107w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image2_edit4-120x120.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n3.

As the light changes, so does your window treatment.

Our blinds are all custom-made and you will want all your window treatments to be made in the same dye-lot and that all the materials coordinate together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image4_edit4.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6597 lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image4_edit4.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"630\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image4_edit4.png 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/image4_edit4-285x300.png 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n5. Don&#8217;t Make It Too Short<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have tall windows, don&#8217;t use short window coverings and heaven forbid, no short drapes. Your windows will look like a growing teenager who has outgrown his or her jeans. Unfashionable. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=curtains-and-drapery\/custom-drapery\/\">Drapery<\/a> should &#8220;break&#8221; on the floor or even crumple or puddle on the floor.
