Curtains or Blinds?



I'll be doing some late night shopping later! Do you remember my last visit to IKEA? Well the main purpose, aside from buying a new lamp was to redeem my credit card points for IKEA cash vouchers. As usual, I was Miss Last Minute; arriving for redemption at the very last day. I did go home with RM70 worth of IKEA vouchers though, which I've been saving for something that I really need and tonight's the night for me to do some shopping! duit

Mariuca needs new curtains for her home-office, yes she does! I have three different pairs right now but I'm looking for something new that will help rejuvenate my creativity as a copywriter so I'd be able to churn out copy after copy. New curtains will also inspire me to blog and most importantly, they will do wonders to add more cheer to my already inviting home-office! gelakguling



So I did a little online window shopping first. It's always good to have an idea of what you want to buy by surfing the net. We've always had curtains at home and a nice change of scenery with brand new Mini Blinds could be just as pretty. Especially the lime green blinds in this picture. I'm already imagining me hard at work on my desk with the sunny disposition of my charming new blinds adding energy and comfort to my office.

Curtains or blinds; which one is more enticing right now? I am still undecided for now so perhaps some Swedish meatballs for dinner will help me decide. And since I'm supposed to be on a diet, I'll just have the Kid's meatball plate and mineral water okay? malu ihikhik

bright their colors are.. :)

Ane,  May 28, 2009 11:27 PM

Yeah, with curtains, you can just throw them in the washing machine and
they'll be clean, unlike blinds, you have to dust them regularly..

what do think about wooden or bamboo blinds? it gives a warm and cozy feel and when the sunlight shines through, it diffuses the rays better. I had full catalog before but left it home.

Hi there,
I love the blinds with soft colour tone, feel like in Japanese homes. Binds are nice to look at, but we cannot be lazy if we have them because in no time they are going to collect dusts, I agree 100% with those who commented that. I have experienced having blinds in my room before, you need to wipe the blinds every weeks. These days I would rather have curtains, two layer, one with fine material in white and the other thicker material any colour that is suitable for the house.

Hi my friend, come visit me and grab the latest Award if you like, since I mentioned yr name too.

Great weekend. Cheers! :) ;) 8-) :*

JL,  May 30, 2009 3:52 PM

Blinds certainly have a more office feel to them, so if you like your home office to have the office feel then go for that. My opinion :)

BTW I invite you to join in this giveaway of a Commonwealth Games badge at my blog in this post. It's quite simple, there're even hints given, have fun! ^^
