By Mary Malik
Don’t look out your window, but the holidays are coming and it’s likely you’ll be faced with extra guests in your home at some point over the next few months. So, whether it’s new in-laws or old friends, let Budget Blinds turn your windows, and the rest of your home, into something you’ll be proud to show off this holiday season and beyond.
“The holidays are stressful enough without worrying about last-minute decorating,” says Maria Boris, owner of Budget Blinds of Independence with her husband, Matt. “With my passion for design and Matt’s carpentry skills, we are a great team.”
Maria and Matt enjoy introducing their customers to the products, services and one-of-a-kind warranties that Budget Blinds offers.
“The custom draperies are measured and made exactly to fit your windows,” says Maria. “And don’t worry about an unusual window shape or size, we’ve seen it all and can help you come up with the perfect solution that’s both beautiful and practical.”
Maria and Matt like to say that working with Budget Blinds is like having the showroom right in your home. Blinds, shutters, shades and drapery samples are brought to you, and Matt and Maria guide you through the process of discovering the look that’s right for your home. No more wandering through the stores trying to imagine how a window treatment will fit into your decor.
“And Budget Blinds is not just for windows,” says Maria. “Whether you want cushions made or a special piece reupholstered, we’ll help you choose fabrics and, with your input, arrive at the new decor of your dreams.”
Maria and Matt discovered Budget Blinds in 2014, when Matt returned home from his deployment with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan.
“We heard about Budget Blinds from a local franchise owner, friend and mentor, Jana Florek. She informed us that Budget Blinds was trying something new by offering opportunities to U.S. veterans with their new program Troops in Transition,” Matt notes. “We were the first veteran-owned franchise in the program and one of just a few that still remain active today.”
Now in their fifth year of business, Matt and Maria have learned the most important thing is that their customers feel comfortable.
“It’s just the two of us,” says Maria. “We take our time and help you choose your window treatments and other décor. Matt does all the ordering, measuring and installing. We take great pride in your project. It’s personal for us and you can rely on us to get it right.”
Another popular trend in design is home automation.
“We offer smart home technology,” says Matt. “Things like operating your shades from your phone and incorporating music are all popular. We can do just about anything to help you design the home of your dreams.”
And the Budget Blinds warranty is a no-questions-asked, one-time free replacement guarantee.
“We try our best for all of our customers, but it’s nice to work with a company that can always make things right.” says Maria.
So, whether it’s your home or business begging for some attention this fall, Matt and Maria are ready with new looks and creative decorating solutions.
“Styles and trends are constantly changing,” says Maria. “From colors and fabrics to materials and hardware, we offer beautiful choices for your home.”
