Not Sure Where to Begin to Choose Your Blinds?

It’s not easy choosing the right type of blinds for your house or room. Especially when you have to consider from the various blind types, fabrics and colours and make sure it suits your budget. So, here’s some quick tips to think about when selecting the right blinds for you:

Choosing the right blinds supplier

Blinds come in various quality or materials, fabrics and design. So, to make sure you fit blinds that make a difference to your room and are long lasting we recommend making sure you use a reputable blinds supplier and fitter.

We partner with Louvolite, a UK manufacturer, who are a leading global supplier of high quality window blinds. They also provide a range of innovative designs with a diverse range of fabrics and styles allowing us to offer customers blinds for all room functions, styles and tastes.

Assess where and how your blinds are going to be used

This is where we advise you think about the room and what purpose you need the blind for. Ask yourself: Are you wanting to let more light in or keep the light out? How much privacy would you like in the room? What type of ambience and mood are you trying to create?

This will help you to decide the most suitable blind type for your needs. For example, a bi-fold door with windows may benefit from fitting an Allusion Blind which can provide a balance of allowing the room to light up, open to create access for the door and allow for privacy when you require it.

Choose the right fabric

Once you’ve established how the blind will be used you can begin to think about which fabric will best suit your blind and room. Think about how the fabric will compliment other soft furnishings in the room. Consider if you are looking for a contrast to the other furniture in the room or something that will blend in.

Also, we recommend thinking about how the fabric will accomplish your function for the room. For example, do you require the fabric to provide complete light blockout or do you prefer a lighter fabric that will always allow some light. We also recommend considering if you need the fabric to be moisture resistant, especially if they are near windows and may be in contact with condensation.

We can also provide fabrics from recycled materials providing an option for customers who prefer to decor their house with materials that are environmentally friendly.

Choose your colours and patterns

Lastly, we recommend choosing the right colours and patterns to compliment your house and room. We recommend when you are selecting your colours that you take inspiration from colours and finishes that compliment the room. A great way to select blinds colours is to create a mood board with colours from your interior and furniture and see how they blend with colours from our fabric samples. Our team can provide you with fabric samples to make sure you are making the right choice for your room.

How will you measure and fit the blinds?

Of course you have two options to choose how you will fit your blinds 1) DIY and 2) Get a quote from a professional blinds fitter.

We recommend that if this is your first time installing blinds you opt to have the blinds professionally measured and fitted. It potentially can save you time and money in the long run by ensuring you have the right blinds size and they are fitted correctly without risk of damage. Talk to our team who can provide you with a no obligation quote and will be happy to discuss our measuring and fitting services with you.
