Cordless cellular shades are some of the easiest window coverings to install. They simply snap into place on the window frame and there is no need for any cords or strings. They come in a variety of colors and styles, and can be made to fit any size window. Plus, they provide good insulation against heat and cold, making them a great choice for year-round use.

The easiest type of blinds to clean are probably the faux wood blinds. They have a hard surface that can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and they do not show dirt and dust as easily as other types of blinds. Other easy-to-clean blinds include vertical slats (or Venetian) and aluminum mini-blinds. Both of these types have a smooth surface that can be wiped down with a damp cloth or dusted with a feather duster. However, they may show streaks if they are not dried properly after being cleaned.
