Consider the room the blinds are for
The type of blinds you choose will depend on the room you are considering. Some blinds are more suited for homes whilst others are more cost effective for businesses. Plain coloured Venetian and Vertical blinds are more common in business spaces whilst a more vast range of types and designs can be used at home, which can include Roller, Roman, Shutter, Skylight, Night & Day Blinds. Kitchens and Bathrooms may work better with blinds that come in waterproof materials to allow them to be cleaned and to prolong their lifespan. If you are thinking of using blinds in a loft or angled roof windows, you may want to consider Skylight blinds. If you’re looking to purchase blinds for the lounge or bedroom you can pick fabric based blinds such as Roman shades as they come in a vast range of finishes as well as more bespoke custom options for designs. If your window or doors are curved you can consider curved vertical blinds as a very practical option.
Consider additional features you may need
You may also need to consider additional options that you may need that may narrow the available choices you have for blinds. If for example you need less light to enter the room during the day, you may prefer to pick Day & Night blinds or Roman Shades with blackout lining. If you have children and have safety concerns you should pick blinds that come with safety mechanisms on dangling cords. If you need an automated option for opening and closing the blinds you may want to consider remote operated motorised blinds. Some blinds are easier to maintain and clean and therefore you may want to consider if the material you pick is easier to clean and maintain.
Consider the colours and patterns
Picking the right colours and patterns to match the existing decor of a room is very important when making your purchase, as they will most likely be in your home for a long time. The correct tone can help a room from looking dull and drab to feeling warm or cool and refreshing every day. You can pick more flat vibrant colours to match the featured colour scheme you have in your room or you can opt for striped patterns to give the room more life. You should consider if you require elaborate patterns as this will steer you away from some options. Some blinds have less options for colours and patterns due to the nature of the material used such as venetian blinds, which are more commonly found to be made with single colours and materials such as aluminium and wood.
Consider the positioning of the blinds
You may also want to consider if you want the blinds to be fitted inside the window recess or outside it. If you have a smaller window with less wall room or you want add curtains as well, it will be better have them fitted inside the recess. If you need to have the benefit of blocking out the light, it would be better to have the outside fitting. The location of your window and accessibility may also need to be considered when picking the blinds as they have different ways to operate.
