One of the easiest ways to refresh a room's look is to update the window treatments. New blinds, shutters, or draperies can adjust the lighting in the space and emphasize the decor already in place. This is a high-impact renovation with options that can be easily tailored to your budget.
Budget Blinds of Overland Park/Leawood is a great place to start. This full-service company offers everything from blinds, shades, shutters, and drapes. They also install motorized window treatments and shading for outdoor living spaces. Accent touches, such as pillows in all sizes, custom bedding, and valances, are also available.
On a recent project, design consultant Morgan Grafton helped some Bucyrus homeowners with custom soft treatments to enhance their newly built home and control light. They had worked with Budget Blinds in the past, and their interior designer, Abraham Colone of Atelier Colone LLC, suggested they browse the showroom's vast selection.
Grafton has four years of experience with Budget Blinds and a passion for continued learning in the field. She says, "I stay up to date on trends and styles with multiple training courses completed throughout each year, and I have also attended and completed the Inspired Drapes Drapery School."
The Bucyrus homeowners' final choices included draperies accented with sheers and a few roman shades to complement the home's minimalist contemporary look and bohemian accents. The entire project took 12 weeks from initial contact to final install.
Budget Blinds of Overland Park/Leawood is a small business backed by a large organization. The company has been in business since 2002 and is owned by Jim and Debbie Stoddard. They offer 15 brands of window coverings in a wide array of styles, budgets and applications. They also provide the best warranty in the business, with five years, no questions asked, on most of their products.
Courtney Stoddard Laufketter, vice president of sales and marketing, says, "It all started as a small four-person business in the basement of my grandparents' house and has grown to almost ten employees and two storefronts."
Homeowners can browse in the Budget Blinds showrooms, or they will come to your home or office with samples and ideas for your windows. They measure and provide an estimate on the spot. That price includes the services of their professional installation team. Then, the typical turnaround is approximately six weeks from order to installation for most blinds and shades, while shutters and draperies take a little longer.
