Have you ever noticed the way that people do really dumb things in creepy movies?  It is so tedious and predictable… but we still love to watch them, don’t we?

  The best thing about having blinds in your home is that they are relatively inexpensive to buy.  Because of this, it is not such a big deal when you decide to change the colour scheme in one of your rooms.  Besides, a carpet and new wallpaper will cost you enough money as it is.

  Okay, so those of us who are old enough to remember the seventies and eighties will know that some things were so incredibly typical of the time.  Space Hoppers, Twister, The A Team and Noel Edmunds Multi-coloured Swap Shop were all totally iconic.

  Have you ever noticed how dark a room can be when you have got curtains up at the windows?  And having to switch on your overhead light in the middle of the day is crazy (not to mention it being totally unenvironmentally friendly…).

  It could soon be ‘curtains’ for curtains!

  More and more people are wising up to this and are choosing something far more practical to cover their windows.  Curtains can look nice enough, but they don’t half generate a lot of work!  Taking them down, removing the fittings, washing them, drying them and then… IRONING them!!!  If you have been through this tedious routine then you will know exactly what I am talking about.
