Reasons To Choose Roller Blinds
Here is a summary of some of the benefits of having roller blinds installed in your home:
They are an affordable option that is versatile enough to work with any size or shape of window.
Waterproof fabrics make a perfect addition to roller blinds in kitchens or bathrooms.
They can be fitted perfectly to any size window for beautiful aesthetics.
They can be used on skylights.
Blackout materials can be used for roller blinds in bedrooms.
Motorised operation allows roller blinds to be used for windows that are hard to reach or require multiple blinds.
Things to bear in mind
While they might sound perfect, there are some limitations to what roller blinds can achieve. For example, given that they are created from one sheet of rolled fabric, they cannot be shaped around sloped or unusually shaped windows. Additionally, most roller blinds come with cord operated mechanisms, which can be hazardous for young children. Naturally, motorised mechanisms are also available for greater safety.
Do roller blinds look good in a living room?
The sleek and elegant look achieved by roller blinds look good in any room, but especially so in a living room. With the range of fabrics, colours, patterns and textures available, you can easily create a bespoke look that suits the remainder of your interior decor. Shaped hems also add another customisable element to achieve whatever styles you want.
How do I choose roller blinds?
Given the wide range of options regarding roller blinds, it can be tricky to know which to choose when creating the best window treatment for your home. Here are a few of the things you need to consider:
The first thing to think about when choosing the right roller blinds is the room's existing decor. In contemporary interior design, whites, creams and soft greys are fairly universal shades that match most existing designs. For more energy, choosing bolder yellows or blues is the best way to go.
The next thing to consider is whether to go for cordless or corded blinds. Low hanging cords aren't safe for young children or pets, so cordless is the way to go if you have small animals running around the house.
Once everything is nice and safe, the next thing to consider is whether you want to go for blackout blinds. Most blackout blinds are made from polyester and are resistant to fading, dust and mould. In some instances, you may want to have a blind that can provide you with privacy but still let sunlight through. In this case, sectional blinds are the best option.
Whether you want your roller blind mechanism to be hand-operated or mechanised is another key consideration. Hand-operating roller blinds are a great option to keep prices down, while mechanised systems are better for larger windows that you don't want to spend time manually rolling up and down.
The final thing to think about is the material or fabric you want your roller blinds to be made of. Vinyl is the perfect choice for kitchens or bathrooms, given its waterproof properties. On the other hand, wood or aluminium are also great options besides fabrics for creating a contemporary feel in your living room.
Roller blinds vs Venetian blinds?
A great divide in the world of blinds, shutters and rollers is the choice between roller blinds and Venetian blinds. Each provides its own benefits and comes with its disadvantages, so knowing the difference between the two could sway your decision. Here are a few of the things to consider when choosing between roller or Venetian blinds.
LIGHT
Depending on how much light you want to let through your blinds will influence which of the two designs you choose. Venetian blinds allow you to control the light more precisely, but light may continue to slip through the wooden Venetian blades. On the other hand, roller blinds can entirely shut out sunlight, making them a great option in combination with blackout material.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Regarding interior design, Venetian blinds offer a timeless, classical feel, given the possibility of using natural woods to create an organic aesthetic. Roller blinds are incredibly versatile, with many fabrics, materials, patterns and textures available, meaning you can pretty much create any look you want with a roller blind, allowing you to create truly beautiful blinds.
PRACTICALITY
Regarding practicality, roller blinds seem to take the top spot again. They are a perfect fit in almost any window size or shape and are very adaptable. They take up far less space than Venetian blinds and, with the addition of a fascia, can be completely removed from sight, leaving an unobstructed view through your windows.
