Is it time to update your window blinds? While corded blinds seem to have come a long way, cordless blinds are the far safer and better all-around choice when choosing window treatments for your home. Remember that October is National Window Covering Safety Month, which makes it the perfect time to assess and upgrade your existing blinds.  

Here are four reasons why cordless blinds are the better choice.

1. Safety

Perhaps the biggest motivator to invest in cordless window blinds is safety. Without the necessary string or cords, the blind is inherently less of a risk when children or animals are about. Furthermore, ask about blinds that offer the Best for Kids certification, for added reassurance.  

2. Ease

Another reason why you may want to buy cordless blinds is the sheer ease of operation that these fixtures provide. Who has not gotten the cords of conventional blinds tangled or knotted — what a mess! Cordless blinds are so smooth and easy to use that they work with any user, in any home, on any window! With a light touch, you can lift or lower the blinds as desired.  

3. Control 

One of the great things about using cordless window blinds is the control that you have with just a touch. You can monitor and change the natural light that gets into your room as well as the visibility. You can adjust and alter the blinds to prevent prying eyes from invading your privacy, which can enhance your home security at the same time. Cordless blinds allow you to open just a little, or a lot, of the slats in the blind to customize and control your room's privacy and lighting.  

4. Flexibility

As mentioned, cordless blinds fit wherever you want or need them. The flexibility means that you can use them in any room or on any window- which helps with designing or decorating a space. Worried they won't fit your room's window? They will; cordless blinds are found in a vast range of sizes and colors, and custom cordless blinds are available for consumers widely. 

When you are buying blinds for your home or residence, consider why cordless window blinds make the most sense. The most compelling reason to go with cordless blinds is safety, especially if children or pets live there.
