                   STANDARD VERTICAL BLINDS


Our Standard Vertical Blinds are a great option you should consider if you are contemplate sprucing up your home for the spring on a budget. It is worth pausing for a moment to consider what a huge impact the window coverings could have on almost any room in the house; from the bedroom to a showpiece dining area.

We at Payless Decor are convinced our Standard Vertical Blinds have just what it takes to combine both style and practicality (not to forget economical) that make them so special in our eyes.

For a start, vertical blinds are extremely versatile so you will never be stuck for possibilities. Don't think of vertical blinds as merely a solution for your patio door. Their neat streamlined appearance is especially well-suited for narrower windows or doorways because of their height-conscious design. Vertical window blinds can be used as a sophisticated substitute for draperies in any room of the home or office. One of the major benefits of blinds such as these is that they can be set to face in a certain direction, from fully open to entirely closed.  You may find this is especially useful in extreme outdoor conditions; such as bright sunlight or darkness. Moving your blinds to filter out just the right amount of light will lead to a perfect home setting.

Our Standard Vertical Blinds come in five basic colors that will surely complement your current decor and are custom made to your specifications. Tracks can be configured for a one-way draw, split draw, center stack, or opposite stack to suit personal preference; the direct drive control unit with large sprocket wheel provides a smooth and responsive operation. You can also purchase a single or double valance to complete the look for your window. So with our Standard Vertical Blinds, you have an almost unlimited flexibility in designing your room.

Sincerely,

Cherri

2" Solids and Textured Pleated Shades

2” Solids and Textured Pleated Shades

 

       Our 2” Solids and Textured Pleated Shade are a great product to consider for your home décor as they are stylish and offer a ton of options you can customize to your individual needs.

       Offered in bold colors from “Goldenrod” to “Earthtone” color selections, you are sure to find a color that matches your décor. In addition, you can choose between a privacy liner or a blackout liner if privacy and light control is of major importance to you.

       A key feature of our 2” Solids and Textured Pleated Shades is the “Cordless & Top Down/Bottom Up” feature. This feature gives you the ability to open the shade from the top down and/or from the bottom up depending on your preference. The good thing about being able to open the shade from the “top down” is it allows you to have privacy at the lower part of your window yet still be able to view out the top of the window. The cordless feature is a bonus as there is no cords to operate or get tangled. You simply use the tabs to raise and lower the shade.

       If you have a double window or just prefer to be able to open part of your window at a time, you can consider the “2 on 1” headrail option which means there are 2 shades hanging from one headrail. You can operate the shades individual of each other.

       If you are looking for a stylish window treatment that adds a modern twist to your décor, you may want to check out our 2” Solids and Textured Shades.

 

Happy Shopping!

By Seth
12/1/2011 9:09:00 AM  
We are always trying to improve our products & level of service.I just wanted to point out a few things we are doing right now to involve our customers. Most of these types of activities we do through our facebook page, so 'like' us at www.facebook.com/paylessdecor if you want to get updates every once in a while.

So here are a few of the things we are doing, and if you have a blog or have a suggestion feel free to provide is with a different idea:
  • Product testing -- Want 2 test our new Cordless Solar Shades-http://bit.ly/uGZ6eJ & blog a review about them? We'll give u 1or2 free. Just reply w/yr blog

  • Beautiful results -- Budding photographer's: If you bought a product from us and think it just looks delightful in your home, snap a pic and post it here. Some of them we'll use for our site and if so, we'll give you $10 or a $10 credit! (We'd rather have real-life applications of our products vs. the staged shots which sometimes can be a bit antiseptic.

2" Distressed Wood Blinds
By Cherri
11/8/2011 8:52:00 AM  

2” Distressed Wood Blinds

 

Distressed” finishes are the modern decorator’s exciting feature for rustic, country and cottage-style decorating schemes where a mix of vintage and even some modern furnishings are coordinated.  Ideal applications include study/library, den, formal living rooms, formal dining rooms, and any room looking for the rich stain combined with the warmth and beauty of real wood.  For example, Whitewash makes for a great shabby chic look at the beach house, while Rosewood or Warm Cherry gives your home office an aura of rich distinction.

 

Our 2" Distressed Wood Blinds have existing nicks and scratches as well as color variations that are the “look” of this unique window treatment.  Each basswood slat has been distressed to offer an antiqued appearance to the wood blinds. These rustic basswood blinds are custom-crafted, durable and warp resistant.

 

For an authentic look, the distressed finish is continued on a matching wood valance and bottom rail. Every blind comes with a cord or wand tilt control.

 

Wood tones offered in the distressed style include Ebony, Whitewash, Warm Cherry, Rosewood, Dark Oak and Chestnut.  Decorative tapes are also available in black, ebony, bone, mocha, silk and mulberry.

 

Because of the varied finish, we recommend that you order a free sample for the best color match. A discount coupon that provides a 40 percent reduction off the regular price accompanies each sample.

Cordless Blinds and Cordless Shades for Children's rooms
By Seth
8/31/2011 10:38:00 PM  
In recent years the window treatment industry has been under scrutiny due to child safety concerns. I would suggest that the industry has responded strongly by developing innovative products without cords that are functional without sacrificing form. As a parent myself I would highly recommend taking a look at some of our cordless blinds and shades for your child's room(s) or windows that are easily accessable. While safety is a major concern, cordless blinds offer other benefits - they are quite simple to lift and lower and you don't clutter the space around your windows with unsightly cords.

My wife and I recently put a set of blackout cordless cellular shades in my 3-year-old daughter's room. They are wonderful insulators, and the blackout characteristics ensure our little rooster doesn't start cackling at first morning light.  My daughter likes the crinkles and that she can lift them herself. We also just launched a new smooth-lift solar shade that I am considering putting in our family room. The shade cuts-down the sun, looks fantastic and has an easy, smooth lift mechanism. There are plenty of other excellent options, cordless roman shades and even cordless mini blinds.

Just a few years ago cordless blinds were either not yet available or cost an arm and a leg. However, in current day, many of our products have a cordless upgrade option, and generally it is only a nominal upgrade fee, or no upgrade fee at all.

Please let us know if we can help you find the perfect cordless window treatment option for you and your family!

Our New Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades: "First of it's kind!"
By Rondale

Our New Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades

"First of it's kind!"


Looking for a unique window treatment for your home that is stylish yet child safe? You may want to check out our new Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades.  Our new Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades are the first custom roman shade product to have a “cordless lift” system. The cordless lift system has a smooth operation and is also child/pet safe.  

Our Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades are offered in a multitude of fabric styles and colors to add to the decor of any room. In addition, they are offered with a soft or plain fold. The plain fold offers a standard contemporary look. Stay pockets on the back of the shade create pleats which look great with most fabrics (plain fold is not recommended with a blackout liner as light may come through). The soft fold provides a cascading effect as it folds in 6” intervals. This adds a elegant look to your décor.

Our Advantage Plus Cordless Roman Shades also offers various lining options to ensure you have complete control of the light that enters your home.  A standard light filtering liner in your choice of white or ivory is included FREE OF CHARGE. If you wish to block light entirely, you can upgrade to a Premium Blackout Liner.

Take a look at this new innovative product today. Stylish, durable, and child-safe all wrapped into an elegant product that will match any décor. 


Happy Shopping!

Why do BlindCompanies offer Free Shipping - then charge for 'Handling'
By Seth
9/7/2010 12:23:00 PM  
A business practice within our industry that gets on my nerves is our competitors offering blind with Free Shipping, but then once you get to the cart, they charging a handling charge. What the heck is this ‘charge’? When you go to the website of the biggest online window treatments retailer and are about to purchase you blinds you will see there is an Order Processing Charge of $4.95. In effect this allows them to pass on an additional charge to the customer for no good reason - and by the time the customer sees it, she has already made up her mind on the purchase, and likely just “accepts it”. But just because a customer accepts it does not make this practice acceptable.


May I suggest that rather than handling charge it should be called a “we-would-like-you to-pay-more, but-did-not-want-to-disclose-this-until-now-charge”.

 

Don’t misunderstand me, I am all for companies charging whatever they want. Profits enable growth, new jobs and all the wonderful things that the US stands for, but don't bury those charges by using semantics.

Check out most of our major competitors, they all seem to do it. And then they seem to explain it in an innocuous way so that the customer doesn't realize she is essentially being hornswoggled. On one site, I even see this the explanation tugging on the customer’s heartstrings, “fuel prices in the industry have gone up, but we only pass on a tiny bit of this causing the need for this handling fee”.

 

Oh, so you didn't just think of raising the prices of your product, which is what most other industries do when costs go up? Instead, you create some ridiculous little fee that you don't present until the customer’s credit card is on the table

 

Payless Décor Blinds offers Free Shipping and does not insult your intelligence by then offering a Handling Charge or Order Processing fee.  Sometimes for oversize blinds we get charged quite a lot by Fedex to ship them, but we not only include this in the price, we also make the charges transparent on our ‘free shipping explanation page’.

 

The next time you see a $4.95 shipping fee at a website that touts 'Free Shipping' in big letters on their homepage, I recommend you contact the company and say, “Sorry I was going to purchase from you, but now I am going to take my business elsewhere to a company that actually discloses their prices.” I’ll bet you that company will offer to waive the fee, but that’s when you should say “sorry, too late.”

 

A vote with your dollars is the best way to drive change.

Go Green With Bamboo!
By Cherri and Ron
8/19/2010 11:31:00 AM  

“GO GREEN WITH BAMBOO!”

 

Did you know that by choosing our Bamboo Roman Shades you are effortlessly "going green"? Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet. Some bamboo plants have grown to over 4 feet in 24 hours! A pole of bamboo can regenerate to its full mass in just six months. Bamboo can be continuously re-harvested every 3 years without damaging its eco-system and surrounding environment. During the time it takes to regenerate, the bamboo plant's root system stays intact preventing erosion. Continuous harvesting of this woody grass every 3-7 years actually improves the overall health of the plant.

Bamboo Roman Shades are versatile in terms of installation. They can be installed inside or outside the window frame depending on your preference. They also come in a variety of custom sizes to fit virtually any window. Rich and vibrant, Bamboo Roman Shades add a rustic elegance to any room.

Bamboo Roman Shades are different from other types of window coverings in that they stack and fold (roman style) into even sized panels when the shade is lifted. When lowered, they create a relatively smooth appearance. Bamboo Roman Shades are raised and lowered with a cord system. The cord can be pulled until the roman shades reaches the desired height, allowing portions of the window to be exposed while blocking out other areas. If you are worried about the kiddies playing near the shade, no need to fret. We include retro-fit kits with select bamboo shades making them cordless.

Durable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly are just a few words used to describe our Bamboo Roman Shades. So choose one of our custom bamboo shades today; the planet will thank you and you'll love the results in your home!
