Standard Vertical Blinds

                   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" Distressed Wood Blinds
By Cherri

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.

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!

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!

The Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors

Isn’t it relaxing to be able to enjoy a hot summer day on your porch? Maybe curl up on a porch swing with a good book and a cold glass of lemonade. If you asked me that question a few years ago, I would’ve said “no”. Where I live here in Georgia, you’ve got the sun glaring down at a high intensity giving you an uneven tan; and occasionally the wind blows rain showers on the porch. That is why I looked for a product that is resistant to many of the weather conditions “Mother Nature” throws our way...yet stylish at the same time.

Our Exterior Basswood Rollup Shades are a perfect product to consider for outdoor use. They are made from a rust-resistant hardwood designed to withstand the elements.  The heavy duty cording that controls the shade provides trouble free operation for ease of use.

Offered in four early American colors (green, tan, redwood, and white), our Exterior Basswood Rollup Shades gives your porch a modern contemporary look. After the easy installation, just kick back in privacy and enjoy peace of mind. All there is to worry about is which book to read next. 

Happy Shopping!

Bathroom Window Treatments
By Cherri
12/27/2009 1:13:00 PM  

BATHROOM WINDOW TREATMENTS

 

Choosing an appropriate bathroom window treatment is not a simple task. It requires creativity and attention to the entire setting to enhance the beauty of the room. Finding suitable bathroom window treatment(s) is part of the decorating process, contributing to the overall appearance of the room.

 

Draperies and Curtains

 

The drapery is considered a more sophisticated bathroom window treatment, suitable for bathrooms of more generous dimensions, with special furniture and accessories. Draperies require more wall space around the window.  Drapery panels are not retractable in the same way as other window treatments are and that is why they require more space. The majestic and fabulous look is more appealing for very large bathrooms.

 

Curtains have some advantages compared to other types of bathroom window treatments. If you are seeking inexpensive versatility, curtains are lightweight and can be easily suspended/removed from a rod with rings, tabs or rod-pocket casing. 

 

Shades are a great solution for a bathroom window treatment being that they can be easily raised or lowered. There are various types of shades that can be used for the bathroom, from our custom pleated shades, fabric roman shades, to our simple roll-up shades.

 

Shutters are another nice option for your bathroom window treatment, as they offer more possibilities than simple curtains.  They can cover a window from top to bottom or only the bottom part of the window. .

 

Blinds are still considered the most popular category of bathroom window treatment, due to their versatility and affordability. Blinds are excellent for spaces where light control or privacy is highly important. This makes them perfect for bathroom windows. You have many possibilities to choose from with several options, vertical blinds with up and down slats (pvc or fabric), and blinds with horizontal slats. Blinds are usually made of vinyl, wood, faux wood, aluminum.

 

Tips for a Better Choice

 

The dimensions of the bathroom are very important as this aspect will determine a better choice. Larger spaces look great with draperies and curtains while small bathrooms require other solutions. If you want to give even more of an effect with your window treatment(s), shorter curtains could give your bathroom a bold statement.

 

The dimensions of the bathroom windows also play an important role in the choice of suitable bathroom window treatments. The general tendency of smaller windows in the bathroom makes blinds, shutters, or shades more suitable than draperies and curtains.
