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!

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!"

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!

Safety is our Priority!
By Rondale
12/28/2009 3:43:00 PM  

      Are you looking to purchase new blinds but are concerned about the safety of "Little Jonnie" who loves to play with everything? Well, we at Payless Décor want to make sure that safety is a priority. Here are a couple of products I recommend that add a touch of style to your home décor while offering safety features that help keep your little ones safe.

      Our cellular shades give a pleasing look to your home décor while offering the cordless option which will keep young children safe from hazardous situations. They come in a variety of styles and options from single and double cell construction to “Duofold” which gives you the “top down/bottom up” capability. Another bonus is that are cellular shades are designed from a durable 100% non-woven polyester fabric which insulates windows against cold air drafts. This saves you money through improved energy efficiency in the home.

      Our roller shades are another product to consider being that “cordless” comes standard. They are so easy to use that a child can operate them. Simply give the shade a slight tug to open and pull them down to close. The spring mechanism will stop the shade at the length you specify. Our roller shades are also customizable with a number of options from decorative hem styles to the cassette system. The cassette system is a great option which covers the rolled up shade with a decorative valance.

      Don’t stop short at just our cellular and roller shades. We keep safety in mind with all of our products by including cord cleats at no charge so you can safely tie the excess cord away from children. If you select the cord-loop or continuous cord options, you can request tensioners which will alleviate all slack in the cord. This works to help prevent children from getting tangled in the cord.

      If you have any questions about our products, feel free to contact us so that we can help you choose the best option for your home décor needs.

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.

Cellular Shades Save You Warmth and Money
By Rondale
10/8/2009 12:00:00 AM  

     Yes people…it’s that time of year again where the hot sun that pushed us to spend summer afternoons in our pools has turned away, ushering in the cool winds of the fall season. It’s that time of year where we fight off that cold draft seeping through our windows by cautiously raising the heat thermostat or cuddling under that warm blanket mom took the time to hand knit for us.

 

     But what if there was an alternative to mom’s heartfelt creation to keep warm in these cool months to come. Especially living in an economy tainted by high-energy costs. If you’re looking for a contemporary product that can also be beneficial to your lifestyle, I would recommend our cellular shades.

 

     Our cellular shades are custom crafted from a durable 100% non-woven polyester fabric using a single or double cell construction. What this does is act as an insulator blocking that cold air draft from entering your home. It also filters out UV rays which can damage interiors and upholstery. This will be beneficial in 4 primary ways:

 

  • It saves money through improved energy efficiency.
  • Protects interior furnishings.
  • Increases air circulation in your home.
  • With UV ray filtration, they can be used year round!

In addition to the many economic benefits, our cellular shades are just darn stylish! I love their contemporary design. It adds a sense of elegance to any room. Even when they are raised, they give a neat and compact appearance. They are offered in a number of color selections and are customizable from room darkening fabrics to ‘top down/bottom up’ options. So what are you waiting for? Take a look at our cellular shades today!    

And don’t forget to take notice of our other great products. Our bamboo shades add a rustic look to any home décor and our verticals blinds are great for patio doors, narrow windows, and doorways. These and more great products are available in the ‘Product Guide’ section of our website.

Happy Shopping!
