Deciding which blinds are right for your home can be daunting, especially when there are so many colours, textures and types of blinds to choose from.

For instance, did you know you have blinds made in fabrics that have fire-retardant properties? These are ideal for kitchen areas. Our team of professional interior decorators will be happy to answer any of your questions, or we can visit you at home for a free measure and quote.

Here are our recommended top considerations to help you get started:

1. AESTHETICS

Do you want to make a bold statement with window treatments, or do you want them to blend into the overall decor? This will help you to narrow down a style.

2. PRIVACY

How much privacy do you need at each window’s aspect? Do you want total blockout or a ‘sunscreen’ style covering, which will still offer some of the outside view – but also means your neighbours can see in to some degree.

3. SHADING

The sun’s rays can be damaging to floors and furniture.  Too much sun can also make your home hot in the summer months. How much indoor shelter do you need?

4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The blinds you choose can have an impact on the energy efficiency of your home and your ability to keep a moderate, comfortable temperature inside.

5. SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

Is it important for you to have sustainable fabric and materials in your blinds? If so, then some brands and ranges will use the eco-friendly supplies you’re looking for.

At Decorating Decor Interiors we know that sometimes help from a professional can be just what you need to make the right choice for your home, from among the exhausting options in home improvement, particularly in window coverings.
