Increase Your House Value with Blinds

a coupld with real estate agent discussing house pricesWith an over saturated market and sky-rocketing real estate prices, homeowners are searching for ideas to further increase the resale value of their property. We’ve done the research and in this article, we’ll delve into the benefits of installing new blinds as a tactic to add value to your home.

 

Not All Renovations Are Created Equally

Experts in property development and investment real estate are constantly analysing trends and consumer tastes. It has been proven that certain renovations, such as swimming pools, tennis courts and elaborate wall paintings, are costly and although they might stir interest, they do not add property value.

Upgrades like open plan living areas, large decks, galley kitchens, insulation, and good lighting are on the top of the list for upgrades that timelessly work to increase property value. Along with creating an attractive wall feature, you can maximise the light and temperature control in your house by installing durable blinds on windows of all sizes.

 

Installing Stylish Blinds with Your Renovation

When renovating your home, it can be easy to fall into the habit of choosing decorative pieces according to your personal tastes. If you do have intentions of putting your house on the market in the foreseeable future, it's important to make décor decisions that are appealing to a wide range of potential buyers. Neutral shades and simple designs are the safest bet for new blinds to maintain their aesthetic value and minimise cleaning time.

To maximise light in your living areas, translucent roller blinds are a fantastic option. Real estate agents can also attest to the allure of motorised blinds when selling a property – they are quiet and operated by a remote, adding an exciting touch of luxury to the room. Durable and sleek window treatments make a lasting impact and increase the resale value of homes.

 

Maximising Your Room Design with Blinds

It is important to pay close attention to the visual appeal of areas in your house that have the highest traffic. Kitchens and living rooms are the busiest locations and are typically the areas that leave the longest lasting impact. Choosing timber blinds as a furniture feature makes an impressive statement and adds value to your property. The range of options for your window fittings is extensive, meaning it can be simple to find the perfect, practical design for every room of your house.

In theatre rooms and bedrooms, block out blinds are functional and attractive to home buyers. If your room is exposed to a lot of sunshine, pairing a block-out roller blind with a sunscreen blind gives the option of total light control while removing the claustrophobic feeling of a being in a room without windows.

It is not necessarily true that the most expensive option is always the best. Look for high-quality blinds with long life spans and trustworthy warranties that don’t impact your bottom line too much.

Had an old vertical blind that was manufactured by them, that was broken. Excellent cheery and quick repair service and great value too.Support kiwi jobs stay local. If you buy something NZ made you can get spares.
Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
Lisa Fong
Could not be happier with my new shutters - big shout out to Total Look Blinds who did a fantastic job with the measure, manufacture and installation! All done in NZ so would highly recommend!
Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later)."Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.
Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊
