Need Help Choosing Your Blinds & Shades?

 We’ve been producing and selling blinds for a long time and have definitely noticed something very interesting. With so many blinds and shades to choose from, our customers are finding it increasingly difficult to make that all important decision over what blind to go for. So we’ve put together some advice to help you through this sometimes frustrating process.

Whether you’re looking for privacy, style, or both, it can be a daunting task to choose window treatments. Windows are a great focal point in a room and blinds and shades should be both decorative and functional. So here’s a list of points to consider:

• Light and privacy How much do you want and need? Decide whether you want your room bright and airy or more secluded and cozy.  In your home is your goal to block out light for snug sleep in the bedroom or hang a sheer fabric in your kitchen that lets the sun shine in over your sink? Are the windows you’re covering near the front door or facing the sunny side of the house? All of these factors will influence the styles and fabrics you choose.
• Your budget Do you want a solution for just one window or the entire house or office? You may consider spending more on certain windows and scaling back on others. Window treatments are priced by size, so expect larger treatments to cost more. Custom sizes and speciality fabrics, patterns, and features such as motorised control also add to the cost.
• Your decorating style Is it formal or casual, comfortable or chic? Bold colours can be fun or dramatic.

Thinking through the above three points should leave you better placed to make the right decision. However for further assistance contact our Design Team or pop into any of our showrooms.
