Tips for choosing the right blinds

Finding the right blinds for your home can be a challenging task, since there are so many options to go with.

Whether you prioritize things like colour, look, cost or more functional things like heat insulation or energy savings, there’s variety of any kind or type for a person to choose from.

In this article, we’re here to help. We will give a few essential tips on choosing the right blinds for your rooms, whether you’re looking for something fancy or simple.

Things to think about when choosing blinds for your room

Styling

Deciding on the style that you want to go with is arguably the most important step in the selection process. Do you want to go with Venetial blinds that are the ultimate classic, perhaps you’d like a more simple solution in roller blinds?

The style should not only look great, but also reflect the theme as well as your interior taste.

Venetian blinds have been around for quite a while now and provide great functionality as well as looks. A simple white set of blinds can be an affordable option to take your room’s interior to the next level. Obviously, they’re also great in the light control that they give.

Roller blinds also provide an uncomplicated look, however, we would recommend them for those going for a more modern approach to their interior and for places that will require for you to frequently use the blinds.

Regardless of what you go with, it all comes down to preference. So, go with the one style that you love the most and you won’t miss.

Materials

Materials are an essential thing to consider as it can impact how well your blinds are resistant to various environmental factors.

For zones that are exposed to high levels of heat and sunlight (like kitchen windows), we would recommend considering aluminium or block-out roller blinds. Both of these options work great in reflecting incoming heat and prevent any excessive heat coming in to the room.

If you’re looking for options in the bathroom, however, you will have options that are resistant to moisture. PVC and aluminium options work well for these areas, since they offer great resistance to wet zones in your home.

Your window layout

Window layout is important to think about as well, since different blind options operate in a different manner. There might be furniture near the window, or the shape of the window which will influence the type of blinds that you go with.

Easy access might also be important if you want to install blinds in areas that are frequently used. For example a roller blind will fit perfectly on a sliding door, since you’ll probably be using them quite often.

Lighting control

For some people privacy might be the most important factor when it comes to choosing the type of blind for their room.

Venetian variants are great in this case, since they offer complete control over the light coming into the room. Too much or too little? Just tilt the blinds in order to expose your room to more light or close them completely for complete darkness.

Block-out rollers are a very popular choice when it comes to bedrooms for example, since they block out the outside world completely and allow you to have a good night’s sleep.

Safety

If you have children or pets, you might want to go with blinds that have extra safety devices installed. In this case, it’s very important to install the blinds correctly for the measures to work properly.

All in all

Today, we’ve talked about the things you need to consider when choosing blinds for your home. It should be said that the most important thing here should be to know your priorities and what you want your blinds to help you achieve in the room. From there on, just choose the right style and you should be good to go.
