When thinking about covering your windows, it can be hard to choose between curtains or blinds, so Brighter Blinds Ltd have broken it down for you.
Curtains do make for a statement piece in a room, particularly if you use a heavy or bright fabric, with lovely tiebacks, however they can be dominating and cumbersome in smaller rooms.
Blinds however, can be much more versatile and often offer more privacy. Brighter Blinds recommend opting for blackout blinds in the bedroom to ensure you get a decent night’s sleep. With 19% of us stating that light levels are a key factor in keeping us awake at night, this is something which can easily be addressed by choosing some new blinds!
And not only can blinds block out light, they can also improve your home’s energy efficiency by keeping draughts at bay, meaning you don’t have to whack the heating up in the morning to avoid freezing! Choose thick, dark fabrics to help keep the heat in and the draughts out.
Blinds can become something of a feature once they are down, so choosing vibrant fabrics can add heaps of personality to your home. Roman blinds can look fantastic rolled up and down, whereas roller blinds disappear almost completely, allowing you an unbroken view out of the window – perfect if you have stunning views to look out on!
If you opt for slatted blinds, you retain a huge amount of privacy whilst still letting plenty of light into the room, and if you choose Venetian blinds, you can pull these up or down to suit you. Venetian blinds are perfect for patio doors as they allow you to look out into the garden, but can come down to provide complete privacy at nighttime.
And finally, if you’re tech savvy and enjoy having everything at the touch of a button, Brighter Blinds also install motorised blinds, so you don’t have to do anything!
