How We Design Our Content
Our talented team of design experts and writers are the first step in our process. We hire experienced interior designers and decorators who are eager to share their expertise and advice on our site. They’re willing to install and use products for months at a time to create fair and honest reviews.
It’s important when reviewing a window treatment to use it in sun and rain, cold and hot, dark and light, and everything in between. We can’t base our review on how a particular window treatment performs when it’s dark and rainy but fail to analyze how it works while the sun is shining bright.
This is the approach we take to every review, comparison, and roundup we share. Our goal is to give you the information you need before you invest in something that simply won’t work for you.
The person doing the research writes the article. We don’t pass our notes off to someone else for them to interpret what we think, but we do rely on an experienced editorial team to help us make our writing better!
Our editors take each article and make sure that it’s accurate, factual, and easy to read. They make sure it’s up to our quality standards and they format each article so that it looks beautiful. They work hard to ensure that the site is up to date with accurate information and the latest design ideas.
The final step of our process is you, our readers. You provide valuable feedback that allows us to grow and improve our site. You are an essential part of the Just Blinds n Curtains community, and should never hesitate to reach out with advice, suggestions, or questions.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Why are you giving advice on Just Blinds n Curtains?
I am a professional interior decorator, and I enjoy helping people make their houses a home. Curtains and blinds are a huge part of that journey.
What is your favorite decor style?
I’m a little old school, but I like to mix up styles. I combine boho, art deco, contemporary, and more to create something that speaks about my clients.
What is one window treatment you think looks outdated, and what would you do to update it?
Plain lace curtains are rather outdated, and if you want the sheer look, then a fade look with umber shades is ideal. Otherwise, I like to go for delicate and unique finishes that include personalized trim and silk ribbon ties to create a dynamic 3D curtain.
If you could offer one piece of advice for anyone choosing new window treatments for their home, what would it be?
Consider your lifestyle before you buy into a look. If you have kids or pets, your window treatments need to take that into account.
Do you prefer blinds or curtains?
I like both curtains and blinds, and I think no blind works entirely on its own without a little drapery to warm it up. Even if you only use a window scarf, it’s great to add a little femininity to the overall look.

Why are you giving advice on Just Blinds n Curtains?
Blinds and curtains can truly transform a space- but they also can make it more comfortable. As someone who has experience helping with home improvements, I am passionate about making a space as comfortable as possible and personable.
What is your favorite decor style?
My favorite decor style is French Country Cottage. I love rustic charm with a touch of elegance.
What is one window treatment you think looks outdated, and what would you do to update it?
Old mini blinds- especially those that have become yellowed with age. I recommend replacing any older blinds that are discolored with classic white blinds. I especially love faux white wood for a crisp and versatile look.
If you could offer one piece of advice for anyone choosing new window treatments for their home, what would it be?
Think about what you need most. Do you value privacy above style? You can have both, but understanding how your window coverings will be used will help you make a better decision. For color, less is more. A crisp white or off white will work for just about any home.
Do you prefer blinds or curtains?
Blinds are best for a modern and minimalist look- and they’re easy to use. But I love curtains for places like bedrooms if you want a more personal touch- or blackout curtains for night.
