Blinds Buying Guide
Everything you need to know about choosing, measuring, and fitting the perfect blinds for your home.
How to Choose the Right Blinds
The right blinds depend on the room, the window type, and your personal style. For bedrooms, consider blackout blinds for a restful sleep. Kitchens and bathrooms need moisture-resistant options like roller or venetian blinds. Living rooms and dining rooms suit roman or wooden blinds for a touch of elegance. For large windows and patio doors, vertical blinds are the practical choice.
Understanding Blind Styles
Each blind style works differently. Roller blinds roll up around a tube at the top of the window. Roman blinds fold into elegant horizontal pleats. Venetian blinds have horizontal slats you can tilt for precise light control. Vertical blinds have vertical slats ideal for wide windows. Perfect fit blinds clip into the window frame without drilling.
Measuring Your Windows
Accurate measurements are essential for made to measure blinds. You do not need to measure yourself — our expert advisors will take precise measurements during your free home consultation. However, if you want to get started, measure the width and drop of each window in millimetres, and note whether the window recess is deep enough for an inside fit.
Inside vs Outside Recess Fitting
Inside recess blinds fit within the window frame for a clean, neat look. Outside recess blinds are mounted above the window and cover a larger area, which is ideal for blocking more light. Your advisor will recommend the best option based on your windows and requirements.
Fabric and Material Options
We offer a wide range of fabrics and materials. Blackout fabrics block virtually all light. Dimout fabrics reduce light while still allowing some natural brightness. Light filtering fabrics offer privacy while letting in soft light. Moisture-resistant fabrics are designed for kitchens and bathrooms. Natural wood adds warmth and character.
Child Safety
All our blinds meet current child safety regulations. We offer cordless, wand-operated, and motorised options that eliminate the risk of looped cords. Your advisor will discuss child safety options during the home consultation.
