Fitting blinds, window by window
The gap down the side is what makes cheap blinds look cheap. Stock sizes come in fixed increments, so unless the opening happens to match one, there will be light showing — and in a bedroom that is the difference between usable and not.
Cutting a stock blind to width is worse than it sounds. The slats get narrower but the mechanism does not, so the unit binds, hangs unevenly and wears out early.
Faux wood is the right answer in bathrooms, kitchens and rentals. It does not warp, it wipes clean, and it costs a fraction of what shutters do.
Cord safety is not a preference any more. Cordless and motorized options exist at every price point, and in a house with young children there is no reason to specify anything else.

FAQ
Questions people ask about blinds
Wood or faux wood blinds?
Real wood for the lightest slats and the widest windows, and for a stained finish; faux wood for bathrooms, kitchens and rentals, where moisture and knocks are the concern — it does not warp and it costs less. Aluminum for a thin slat and a modern look. Whichever it is, an inside mount sized to the recess is what stops the light gaps down the sides.
How do you stop light leaking around the edges of blinds?
By measuring the recess properly and sizing the blind to it, with an inside mount that fills the opening, or an outside mount that overlaps the trim when the recess is too shallow. Light gaps come from blinds bought to a standard size for a window that is not standard. A blackout shade behind a blind is the answer for a bedroom that needs full dark.
