There is very rarely a right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing a window blind. It depends upon personal taste, the room the blind is fitted, the budget constraints and many other factors. We’ve put together this advice guide to help you find your perfect blind!
Advice
Do you want the blind for privacy, light reduction or as a design feature?
Privacy
We often find that vertical and Venetian blinds work brilliantly for providing privacy due to the ability to tilt the slats to a multitude of angles.
This allows not only for total privacy, but if the blinds are tilted on a slight angle then privacy is still obtained but the user can still see out and plenty of natural light still enters the room.
Light Reduction
We offer a variety of blinds with blackout materials, however in our experience we have found that roller blinds and roman blinds are the most effective.
We have a huge selection of roller blackout fabrics, and blackout lining can be applied to any roman fabric, so there is a huge choice of colour and texture options to darken your room! We can also supply perfect fit blackout blinds and even total blackout blinds if required!
Many people require blinds to darken rooms, especially bedrooms.
Design Feature
Many people use window blinds as a design feature rather than controlling light and privacy.
Wooden blinds and Plantation shutters can make a stunning design feature in any room.
Roman blinds and Pleated blinds come with some beautiful prints in bright and bold colours that will catch the attention if desired.
Do you want the blinds to control the heat levels?
Many customers require the blinds to control the level of heat in a room, and this is particularly true in a conservatory. They can become boiling in the summer and then freezing in the winter.
Which blinds work well in controlling the heat levels?
- Vertical and roller blinds with reflective coatings on the fabrics
- Roman blinds complete with lining
- Pleated blinds with performance fabrics
- Perfect Fit Roof Blinds work brilliantly on conservatory roof’s in making the environment more comfortable year round.
