Choosing the right window covering can be baffling with the vast choices available. Try not to choose a style simply based on its decorative effect alone. As part of a guide to window blinds, here are some questions to mull over before you place your order:
• What are your needs for privacy?
• Which direction does your window face?
• What are your needs for light control?
• How do your windows open and how often do you open them?
• What’s your budget?
Here’s a quick guide on some popular available styles:
• Panel please – panel blinds work great in interiors with a contemporary theme, especially as floor-to-ceiling treatments because they’re so clean-cut. They’re also great for showcasing striking prints and bold designs as they sit flat against the window, which means you save money on fabric too!
• Roll up – roller blinds which disappear into a flat roll when drawn up, have the most minimalist profile. They’re popular for their low-maintenance and efficient sun shading.
• Roman – Popular in bedrooms and in rooms where you don’t want bulky folds, the roman blind’s neat, flat structure works well with a window seat.
• Good wood – Woody Venetian blinds add warmth with their pleasing wood grain and natural wood color. Wood blinds also complement tropical, classical, rustic and even contemporary settings. They’re easy to clean, requiring just a simple wipe-down.
Before purchasing the blinds, you’d need to measure the size of the window. So if you want the blind to hang inside the window recess, measure its frame on all sides, as most windows are not perfect squares. If you want the blind to hang over the window, leave about 2 inches for overhang. Allow for shrinkage after washing or dry cleaning.
