Plantation Shutters and the mistakes people make - Episode 21 (Season 11 - INTERIOR DESIGN BASICS)

Plantation Shutters and the mistakes people make - Episode 21 (Season 11 - INTERIOR DESIGN BASICS)

This episode is the second of a 2-part interview I have with Evan Montero, Co-founder and managing director of DIY Blinds … so if you haven’t listened to the last episode, stop now, and go back and listen to it now.

Or, stay tuned to listen to part 2 of my conversation with Evan.

SHOW NOTES:

Plantation Shutters have become a popular choice for window furnishings. They’re a big investment, and so getting it right is essential to avoid disappointment and cost blowouts.

DIY Blinds is an online ordering site for window furnishings. With a huge range of products from blinds, to curtains, to plantation shutters, you have the ability to request fabric samples, choose your fabric, learn how to measure and install your blinds, and order them online … all from your sofa.

The DIY Blinds website does a great job of stepping you through the things you need to consider, and how to make your selections. And they’re made in Australia, mostly available within 2 weeks, and also have a 5 year warranty.

Co-Founder Evan Montero and I are continuing our conversation by talking about plantation shutters. These are a super popular choice and also can be a big investment, so Evan has some great tips to think about.

We also talk more about key design decisions and some fantastic things you can do with your window furnishings if you think about them during the design of your home.

And Evan shares more information on the mistakes he sees homeowners make. Plus, he talks us through how to confidently order your window furnishings online.

Having done it myself, I know it can feel a little nerve-wracking that you may stuff up your measurements and end up with a bunch of window furnishings you’ve paid for but that don’t fit properly.

DIY Blinds has got some great support and online resources to help you do this, and can also talk you through how to get it right for your home.

I really hope you enjoy this episode. Listen now.
