So what are magic blinds? Basically, they are blinds that make installation very easy. If you have ever switched from the regular curtains to blinds, then you know there is some installation involved. The installation itself isn’t all that difficult but it does take a little bit of time. For people who aren’t really hands on, it can be a hassle. Although curtains are really great, having blinds to cover your windows has its advantages as well. This article will be about these “magic” blinds, the benefits, and where to get them.

If you currently have curtains and you’re thinking about switching over to blinds but are still on the fence about it, then here are some benefits that will help you make up your mind. The first benefit of having blinds is that they have a much cleaner look. Instead of having curtains hanging down from your windows, blinds just cover what is necessary. This can make your wall look a lot less heavy.

Another great thing about blinds is that they are cheap compared to curtains. Curtains can sometimes run close or over $1,000 depending on what you get. On top of that, since curtains are made of a cloth, little critters like to attach onto the fabric so you will have to wash them every now and then. This can be done by taking them to a dry cleaner. As you can see, it can be a hassle. With blinds, you just need a damp cloth or one of those static wipers to clean them. Yet another benefit of blinds is that you have more control over the where and how much sunlight enters your room.

Let’s go back to magic blinds. The reason the magic blind was made is to make it extremely easy for people to switch from curtains to blinds. There really isn’t any installation required since you will basically be using the same curtain rods you use for your curtains. The magic is in how these things are attached to your window frame. You simply hook it onto the rod and it will basically snap on for you. This makes it very convenient to have blinds on multiple windows around the home.

The cost of these blinds can vary depending on what type you get. They come in different materials as well as styles. Many of them will have the roman shades look which can make your home look really nice. Typically, you should expect to spend about $30 – $60 on one of these. You may want to search for them online to see what different styles are available. You can go down to your local window store as well but the selection will be a lot less.

So if you are deciding between curtains and blinds, magic blinds can be great because you can easily install them which also means you can easily switch back to curtains if you want. I personally prefer blinds just because of the control you have over curtains. The clean look is a huge plus as well. The time it takes to clean blinds is pretty short compared to the hassle of getting your curtains cleaned. So for these reasons, blinds, whether a magic blind or any other blinds, is a great choice.
