* Keep your budget in mind. If you're pockets are tight, you may want to consider faux wood blinds before natural wood. Faux wood blinds are lighter, and cheaper, yet look like the real thing. Aluminum blinds are the cheapest.
* Make sure that your blinds are the correct measurement for your window, otherwise they will end up being a waste of money and not fitting properly.
* If you are a true night owl, or vampire, black blinds will certainly keep out all light.
* White is always a great choice for the kitchen to let in more light.
* Buy accessories for your blinds such as curtains.
