Blinds have been brought up to date with fresh fabrics and pretty blind pulls, and continue to be a popular option in the home.
Blind Styles
o Roman blinds: this classic blind style draws up into even panels as it is raised and can be made from all types of fabric.
o Vertical louvre blinds: a set of louvers travel along a rigid headrail so they can be fully drawn out along the rail, or gathered together at the sides of the window when open.
o Venetian blinds: horizontal, overlapping slats suspended from a headrail, supported by a ladder braid or ladder tape.
o Roller blinds: fabric attached to a tubular roller mechanism.
o Pleated blind: similar to a Venetian blind, but with fabric instead of solid slats.
Things to think about
o The size of the blind will alter depending on whether you want it to hang inside or outside the window recess. If inside, measure the window from wall to wall. Be sure to measure the top, middle and bottom of the window, as walls are not always straight or square. For blinds that sit outside the recess, it is recommended that you allow for a 4cm overhang.
o Think about the material you want to use; the way that a room faces should factor in your decision, as the amount of light the fabric is exposed to will affect its colour and longevity.
o In bathrooms and laundry rooms, it's best not to use natural materials, as they will be badly affected by the damp atmosphere. Instead, use fabrics that can withstand condensation, like faux wood and polyester.
o In conservatories, consider pleated blinds with metalised coatings. These can be made in a range of thicknesses, which will alter the amount of light that is filtered.
