Choosing Blinds To Suit Your Home

When it comes to what you put up on your windows to both have a practical purpose for light control and privacy and to also look great. There are a number of options, drapes, curtains, shades but a popular option is a range of different types of blinds. From roller, dual roller blinds, slat blinds and more there is a to choose from so here is a closer look at roller and slat blinds specifically to help with your decision.

Exploring slat blinds
These types of blinds have been around for many, many years and they are popular still today for good reason. Traditionally they were aluminium but now you can get slat blinds in different materials such as plastic, wood and faux wood and you can original size and mini slat blinds too. These are a slimmer version of the original. You can get them in different colours to suit any colour scheme, and then wood and faux wood obviously have that wooden look. They do not dent easily and do not scratch easily either.

The things that people really enjoy with slat blinds are the control over how much light you let in and how much privacy you can enjoy. With some blinds, all you can do is open or close them, but with these, you can adjust them a little at a time to change the amount of light and also use that to effectively reduce glare. They are easy to operate really the only thing you need to consider is that when you open them fully to enjoy the view of the light you are then obviously visible from outside. For this reason, people who still want slat blinds will also add a sheer curtain that does not ruin the light or the view but gives some privacy.

Taking a closer look at roller blinds
Roller blinds used to be the most popular blind but have become a little less common in residences in recent years with so many other options, but they are still a great choice. They come made of fabric in various different colours and designs, but if you are choosing them for a bathroom or kitchen that is more humid then they need to be made of a material that is moisture-repellant.

Roller blinds can be as simple or as unique as you want. A lot of people will add embellishments to them especially when they are being placed in a more formal room in the house. You can lower them completely to have total privacy or lift them to see outside. Raising or lowering them halfway can give you some light while also not being completely visible in your home. Some also do the same as with slat blinds by using a sheer curtain with them.

Summary
Whether choosing dual roller blinds, slat blinds, Roman blinds, Venetian blinds and so on there are a lot of styles and colours and designs to look at so there is a blind for everyone!
