When it comes to choosing the right window covering, Australian homeowners often look for the perfect balance between style, privacy, and practicality.
Traditional blinds have long been a reliable choice, but a new innovation, Veri Shades®, is quickly becoming a favourite for those who want both elegance and versatility.
At Fair Price Blinds, we’ve seen more and more customers switching to Veri Shades for their soft look, easy operation, and flexible light control. Here’s a closer look at how Veri Shades compare to traditional blinds so you can decide which one suits your home best.
Traditional blinds are known for their neat, structured appearance, perfect for a clean, minimalist aesthetic. However, they can feel a little too rigid in softer, more contemporary interiors.
Veri Shades deliver the flowing beauty of curtains with the neat functionality of blinds. The soft, free-hanging fabric panels create a luxurious look that moves naturally with the air, adding a sense of warmth and elegance to any room.
Because they have no weights or chains, Veri Shades also allow you to walk through them freely, making them ideal for sliding doors, living areas, and open-plan spaces.
Light control is where Veri Shades truly shine. With traditional blinds, you usually have to choose between open or closed. Veri Shades give you full control with a simple twist of a wand.
This flexibility lets you adjust the mood and comfort of your space at any time of day, without compromising on style.
At Fair Price Blinds, we know maintenance matters. Traditional blinds can collect dust and often need special cleaning, while Veri Shades are made from a durable, soil-resistant fabric that’s easy to keep looking new.
Each fabric fold can be removed, washed, or replaced individually, making upkeep simple and cost-effective. Veri Shades are UV stabilised to resist fading, and fire retardant options are available for extra peace of mind.
They’re also free from PVC and fillers, making them a safer, eco-friendly choice for families and allergy-conscious homeowners.
Veri Shades run on a single track system, taking up half the space of traditional curtains. This makes them a great choice for modern homes and apartments where every centimetre counts.
Because they’re cord-free and chain-free, Veri Shades are also a child- and pet-safe option, offering safety and peace of mind without sacrificing design.
