Furnishing on a budget is challenging.   With so many things to spend for, one has to make a painstaking research and compare materials which don’t cost too much but still look classy and appealing.

Good thing there are cheap alternatives to the real thing, such as the faux wood blinds that my sister used in the condo unit which I mentioned few posts ago.

Here you can see that aside from the living room, the kitchen window also used the faux wood blinds.

With more than 6 window panels in the unit, big amount of money was saved as there’s no need to provide curtains anymore. While curtains need to be regularly cleaned, washed and pressed; care and maintenance of wood-like blinds is easier, just wipe with damp cloth and you’re done.
