Curtains or roller Blinds?

Let’s run through a few of the rooms in your house and consider whether curtains or roller blinds might make a good match.

Curtains or roller blinds for the bedroom?

For maximum light exclusion in the bedroom, a set of blackout curtains is a must. They’ll block out almost all-natural light, helping you get eight hours of quality sleep, even during the height of summer.

For the same reason, blackout curtains are indispensable for night-workers and those who enjoy a lie-in at the weekend. Finally, heavy curtains in the bedroom will help maintain a consistent temperature, which will further aid sleep.

Curtains or roller blinds for the kitchen?
If your window is behind a kitchen counter, you’ll quickly tire of having to reach over to draw a set of curtains – so roller blinds may be preferable.

Often kitchen curtains are used to dress the window, and we can offer co-coordinating accessories to complete the look.

Curtains or roller blinds for the living room?

Curtains might be useful for reducing glare during early-evening film-viewings. By the same token, you’ll probably be heating your living room more than any other room, and you don’t want that extra energy to leak from the windows as soon as it’s generated.

Curtains or roller blinds for patio doors?
A good set of patio doors will allow large amounts of light into your home. Vertical roller blinds will give you more control over that light. If your patio doors open inwards, you’ll want to ensure that they don’t affect the dressing. In this case, roller blinds that are attached to the panels of the door itself tend to work well.
