How To Choose New Blinds?

Building or renovating a home can be quite daunting, but had you spared a thought for the window coverings in your home? Window coverings can affect the whole mood of a room so it is important to have an idea of what you wish to achieve before embarking on the build/reno. If you are putting in new windows, your choice of blind, shutter or curtain could influence the type and size of window you choose, and even where it goes in the room! Here are some tips for choosing the right blinds:

• Personal style – window furnishings can reflect your personality and lifestyle. You can keep it simple, or inject a pop of colour and texture.

• Light – What is the aspect of your house? What rooms get the morning sun or the western sun?

• Privacy – Particularly important in bedrooms and bathrooms. Do you look directly at your neighbours or onto the street? You may require something with versatility, for daytime privacy.

• Practicalities – Pick a suitable material for wet areas, high humidity etc.

• Window function – how often do you open it, is it accessible? What furniture is around it?

• Cleaning – if you have allergies, or are time poor, you don’t want a product that collects a lot of dust. Get in touch with Natalee from Aesthetic Blinds for your obligation free consultation today!
