Choosing a new set of blinds doesn’t come without its
challenges. There are many things to consider before committing to your new
curtains (or blinds) to ensure you’re making the right choice. Luckily, our
blog gives you the key things you should consider before buying your new blinds
or curtains. To find out more, keep on reading!
Blinds & Curtains: Key Considerations
Your kitchen blinds are probably going to be different from
your bedroom blinds because each room in your home and window in your house has
different needs. Read below to find our key considerations for new curtains or blinds.
Window Size
You want your blinds or curtains to be simple to open and
close, but the windows in your home may all be of varying size. It’s important
to choose blinds or curtains that fit your windows properly, so that you can
operate them easily. Blinds or curtains that don't fit your windows
properly can let in unwanted light and work poorly.
Insulation Needs
Some of the rooms in your home may be more vulnerable during
the colder months. For particularly cold rooms in your home, certain blinds and
curtains are naturally better at insulating. Blackout blinds for example, are
renowned for their ability to trap heat and keep it inside a room. Consider the
insulation needs of each room in your home before deciding on blinds or
curtains.
Privacy
For bedrooms and bathrooms, privacy is extremely important
to many of us and choosing appropriate blinds or curtains is crucial. Blackout
roller blinds are extremely effective in bedrooms as well as roman shades. For
bathrooms, moisture resistant roller blinds are also a good idea, but be
mindful of the humidity in the bathroom.
Lighting
This is a big factor in many curtain choices. Many people want
to control the amount of natural light coming into a particular room. Kitchens,
bathrooms and communal spaces typically require more natural light to brighten
them up, so you may want to consider venetian blinds or curtains. Bedrooms, on
the other hand, can benefit from blackout blinds, making it much easier to
sleep and keeping out any natural light.
