ENHANCE YOUR HOME’S STYLE WITH CUSTOM SHUTTERS FROM BUDGET BLINDS

One of the most energy efficient and beautiful products you can buy for your windows! No other window treatments are more steeped in history than window shutters. Their style and decorative appeal has become synonymous with high home fashion. Modern shutters are a new age American classic and can be utilized beautifully in any type of home style; whether your home is modern, traditional, or contemporary, there are shutters that are perfect for any style décor.

We have one of the best shutter installers in the Kansas City area! Here are some recent shutter installs from Lee's Summit, Overland Park and surrounding areas -

Shutters offer the best in light control, privacy or protection against the elements, and when you need to make a statement, window shutters can make both subtle and powerful statements all at once. Their clean lines and rich textures frame your outside view beautifully and add an aura of refinement to any room. Shutters are available in a wide assortment of frames, louver and slat sizes, and specialty shapes including arched and round styles that can make every window in your home unique to its décor.

 Shutters can be customized in many different ways. They can fold-up accordion style to one side of the window, they can be made to slide out of the way and stack on the side of the window, and they can be made traditionally, on hinges that swing inward. Window Shutters have garnered a reputation of timeless beauty over the years because many interior designers praise their functional and streamlined design and boast that the shutter complements most any room configuration. However they may have gained their reputation – shutters are here to stay.

Call one of our highly trained design consultants today to schedule a FREE In-Home Consultation to see our shutters for yourself!

Tricky, Tricky

A lot of people call in with questions about specialty shaped windows, curved trim, bay windows etc. These types of windows and areas seem tricky to cover but Budget Blinds has many options for you!

Our shutters come in just about any specialty shape you could imagine...

We can also do specialty cut outs (for door handles and knobs) so you can have the beauty and functionality of a shutter on your doors as well.

Have a bay or bow window causing you some problems? Let us help! Board mounted valances can be constructed to fit any size angle for your bay window! Here is an example of a bay window we did for Patsy from Harrisonville, MO. She has thermal draperies underneath her valance, which still let light in but keep the heat and cold under control and save on energy costs! (See previous posts about more energy efficient options that Budget Blinds has to offer.)

I don't have a great picture from one of our bow window installs but we have curved drapery rods available that are custom measured to fit your angles.

Call us today and we'll find a solution for your tricky windows!

Showroom Table DIY Project

I have a few minutes of down time on this typical, crazy Monday to share a neat project that we did with some old shutters!

I use the term DIY lightly because, although it could be done with a lot of patience and attention to detail, you need to be pretty handy to do this! I had my friend, Luke, help me out who has been a carpenter for many years and I am so beyond pleased with the final result!

We started with four, white shutters, which were cut down to fit the size requirements of what we wanted. The shutters are used as the "sides" of the table. Luke built a frame out of birch wood which the shutters were attached to, then the table top was attached, also birch wood which was purchased from Home Depot. We stained the frames and table top in a espresso stain to contrast the shutters.

Inside, Luke built shelves that can be used for hidden storage. In our case, we use the shelves for our sample books. The doors stay closed with standard shutter magnets. So not only did the table turn out beautiful, it is also very useful!

I wish we had taken pictures throughout the process, we only have the finished product but here it is!

We love our shutter table! It's a neat way to reuse materials and hides our sample books! Feel free to contact me with any questions about the table if you are interested in making one yourself!

Typically, our blinds and shutters that we aren't using, are donated to Habitat for Humanity which is an incredible company that helps and builds homes for families stuck in undesirable living conditions.

Happy Monday, everyone!

T.G.I.F.

Hello all! I hope this Friday finds everyone well and ready for the weekend! I love my job but who doesn't get excited when they wake up and realize it is Friday?!

I thought of something I wanted to pass on that I'm not sure people know about Budget Blinds. Our name is sometimes misleading because although we of course sell blinds and shades, we are SO much more than that! We offer bedding...

Shutters... 

Roman shades...

And much more! And it is completely free for us to bring our samples and expertise to you!

I am finally able to share the details about our special sale and event that is coming up... Get excited because this is huge!

That's right, 50% Off your entire order! You can finally pull the trigger on all of those home projects you've been meaning to get around to! You will not find a better deal than this on custom window coverings. This even includes specialty shades and draperies!

Have a fun and safe weekend everybody!

Shutter Style

Hello! Courtney here with our latest install. Today we installed this home of shutters. We came in and measured while there were still building so it was great to see the finalized project, especially with these amazing shutters. Our customers were very impressed with the final look and the kids especially loved the hidden tilt option. They said their favorite part with working with Budget Blinds of Overland Park was "Service." Stay tuned for more installation updates!
