How to Pick Your Window Blinds & Shutters Like the Pros

Considering new window blinds or shutters? Pick them like a pro with these expert tips. From practical colour choices to maximizing your home’s street appeal, don’t miss this must-read advice.

Sun-filled or shady spot?

The positioning of your windows matters when it comes to your roller blind or shutter selection:

• Are your windows north-facing? Avoid dark fabrics as these will absorb the heat.
• Or is your home in a shady spot? Use white and cream colours to add a sense of spaciousness and light.

Picking the right fabric colour is especially crucial when it comes to the summer months. Dark heat-absorbing fabrics in sun-drenched rooms can be tough on your window treatments over time.

Kitchen or bathroom?

When it comes to planning window treatments for kitchens or bathrooms, choose wisely:

• These high-moisture areas require materials that withstand the damp.
• PVC is the ideal choice – it’s durable, hard-wearing, and designed especially for wet and moisture-prone areas.

You won’t compromise on quality or style because our top-notch PVC shutter range looks just like wood!

 Want to add street appeal?

Whether it’s for your forever home, or in a property you’re looking to sell, new window treatments are ideal for adding that all-important street appeal:

• Wooden shutters look simply stunning both inside and out – making a lasting impression.
• The clean-lined look of motorised blinds creates an architectural feature to frame your views – and being able to operate your blinds using a remote adds a real wow factor!

Ensure you let as much natural light inside as possible by avoiding pelmets, voluminous roman blinds, or bulky pleated curtains.

Need a few care tips?

Once you have those gorgeous new window treatments installed, here are a few key suggestions to keep them looking lovely:

• Mosquitos around? Regularly check your window blinds and shutters to ensure they’re free from pesky insects.
• See some marks? Spot clean any stains immediately to avoid lasting damage.
• Love to keep your windows open? Windy days will see your roller blinds bang and crash around. Always make sure they’re up when that breeze is blowing so they stay in pristine condition.
