Finding The Perfect Blind For Your Home

Each and every room in your home has a different purpose, which is why it is so important that you choose carefully when you are looking for a blind. Light and day is important to our body clocks, therefore blinds don’t only add to the décor but they also provide a vital tool in day to day life.

There are lots of things to consider when it comes to blind shopping and the way it looks is just one small element. After all, once you do make a decision you usually have to deal with the consequences for a while!

When it comes down to a final decision, customers are usually left with two of the most popular choices; vertical blinds vs. Velux venetian blinds. Before you can make an informed decision, you need to have information that will help you make your choice to hand. You need to think about factors including the size and shape of your window, the functions you want the blinds to perform and the style of your room.

So what are the benefits of vertical blinds? Vertical blinds are usually a better option for tall or large windows or doors and they have wide slats. Windows that open from side to side are usually much more suitable for this type of blind because they are more accessible even when the blind is fixed. Vertical blinds are really practical as they can operate effortlessly, they don’t collect dust easily and they can still prevent heat from leaving or entering the room. The great thing about this option is that you can find them in any colour or material, no matter what your style is!

On the flipside, Velux venetian blinds are much better for smaller windows as they are horizontal slats. Venetian blinds are perfect for windows that open upwards as you can simply pull the cord and reach the window pane. In addition they are really easy to maintain as they can be wiped clean.
