Disclosure: This is a guest post.
I have grown up in a country where having curtains in your home is a social norm. Having been raised like this, I was petrified of changing the curtains with the blinds, which I thought were only for the office. However, my boyfriend persuaded me to just give the blinds a try, and if I didn't like them, I could take back our old curtains.
The truth is, I love the blinds. They are very practical, and now I don't know what I would do without them.
Indeed, it is good to give it a try when it comes to novelties in your home.
