The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Blinds for Your Home

Well-chosen window dressings are one of the most useful and aesthetically pleasing things you can add to your home. Choosing blinds for your home not only makes the rooms look better, but also gives you privacy, controls the amount of light coming in, and can even help your home use less energy. Choosing the right blinds for your home is important whether you’re remodeling a living room, a dining room, or any other room.

Types of Blinds and Their Benefits

Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are a common choice for blinds in houses because they are simple, elegant, and fit a modern and minimalist style. When pulled via the chain, they are excellent for regulating privacy and brightness. Motorisation and automation hubs are also available if you like ease of use. Roller blinds come in really handy in many different circumstances. They look great in areas with contemporary décor or where you want a neat, understated style. They are also a very cost-effective solution.

Dual systems are available to provide a screening blind for privacy during the day, and block outs for privacy and energy efficiency at night.

Venetian Blinds

You can adjust the horizontal slats in Venetian blinds to adjust the view out, and light coming in.Choosing blinds based on what they do is important. For example in home offices, Venetian blinds are a great choice, and easy to clean. Different types of materials such as metal, pvc, and wood enable their use in a variety of household styles.

Roman Blinds

Roman Blinds in a range of colours, styles and materials.

Roman blinds are renowned for their style, folding into pleats when raised. Usually composed of cloth, Roman blinds are an excellent option for rooms that require a touch of extra softness, such as living rooms or dining rooms. Their importance should be considered when choosing home blinds. They combine the functionality of curtains with the elegant appearance of drapes.

How to Choose Blinds Based on Room Type, Decor, and Functionality

A very important thing to think about when choosing window dressings for your home is how much light you want to let in or block out, as well as the room’s purpose and current style. Flow throughout the home is also important, for example following the same colour schemes and window dressings throughout the home give a more luxurious feel.

Living Rooms

Considering blinds are often the focus of a room, pick something that goes with your furniture and colour pallette. Adding rich fabric Roman or roller blinds to living rooms can make them look more elegant. Plantation Shutters are a timeless option that have been proven to increase the value of your home. Curtains give a very soft, luxurious feel and provide excellent light blocking and thermal properties.

Dining Rooms

Look for something classy and simple to maintain. When choosing blinds for dining areas, Plantation Shutters are very easy to clean and provide flexibility for light control.

Bedrooms

Privacy is important in bedrooms, especially in areas where windows are close to neighbours or public places. Choosing something energy efficient can help with energy costs and keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Double curtains, Plantation Shutters or Dual Roller Blinds are all popular choices for bedrooms. Blockout roller blinds are best installed on the face of the window rather than the reveal, so there are no gaps around the sides that passers by can see in through.

Kitchens

Kitchen windows can be tricky; whether it be a window near the sink, or near the cooking zone, soiling from food or water can be a problem. Products like PVC Plantation Shutters can be a good solution as they are waterproof, easy to wipe down, and look beautiful. If the window is close to a heat source, we recommend considering a blind on the outside of the window, so it doesn’t get damaged by the heat, or covered in oil. Zipscreens, Ziptraks,or Awnings are a good solution for external window treatments. If you want the ultimate luxury have a motorised Zipscreen installed that can be operated by the touch of a button.

Rooms with Sliding Glass Doors

Curtains, vertical blinds or panel glide blinds are best for sliding doors because they can be pulled back partially to make it easy to get in and out the door, or pulled back completely to let the light flow in.
