Choosing blinds for your home can be a daunting experience, with all the choices available.

Each type of blinds gives different benefits, depending on the room you put them in, how much light control or privacy you need, the type of material, and the climate you live in.

Today we will discuss the many ways to use Roman blinds, Vertical blinds, or Day and Night blinds.

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are a great option for any room, except those with high humidity, like the kitchen and bathroom.

These blinds are typically made of cloth fabric.

They are better hung outside the frame for an enhanced stylish look.

You can select from many colours, designs, and patterns to fit the style in any room — even playful designs, perfect for a kid’s room.

For a better light filtering and insulating effect, choose a set with a lining or go for sheer to give you more sunlight.

If you want a more luxurious look, choose the velvet blinds.

They will add a timeless cosy feel to the room, plus help to reduce noise and block light.

Roman blinds with blockout or tripleweave make for great bedroom or home theatre windows with their ability to darken a room from outside light.

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are made of materials like wood, aluminium, plastic, vinyl, or PVC.

They come in many different colours, to match any room’s style.

Due to the fact that they are hung up and down from their rail, they tend to draw a person’s attention toward the roof — making the room look bigger.

These blinds are great for sliding doors, big windows, or even in the kitchen.

For those who need a darker space, there is a thermal blackout option.

One unique feature to vertical blinds is the ability to open them from the left, right, or in the middle — making them easy to control.

Day and Night Blinds

Day and night blinds are perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, or other rooms where you need to be able to manage the light filtering in.

They are also called Duo roller blinds, Zebra blinds, or Mirage blinds.

These blinds are made with two layers that can be controlled independently to block light or allow it to filter in.

The two layers are typically a transparent layer for daytime use, and a block colour to use at night or when you need the room blacked out.

Day and night blinds can come in several colours and fabrics to give style, light control, privacy, and other needs.

One of the biggest benefits of these blinds besides light filtering is the energy saving effect you get due to their insulating properties.

Selecting the Right Blinds

There are a few things you should consider before you begin to shop for your blinds.

The most important thing is to always measure the window you will be placing them on or in.

Bring colour swatches or pictures to match them to the space they will be going.

Determine what features you need, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

No matter which blinds you choose to hang, you are sure to be happy with the benefits and style they bring to your home.

Roman blinds are typically made of fabric, come in many colours and designs, plus can come with a blackout feature.

Vertical blinds are great for any room with high windows or a sliding door.

For the bedroom and living room, where privacy is the utmost important, a set of day and night blinds are the perfect addition.

Selecting different blind types, colours, and materials can also give your home’s design that added boost.
