There is a lot to consider when deciding on blinds for your space. These factors include:

Style: Blinds have the ability to transform any room, but it’s essential to choose the right style that reflects and complements your space and personal taste. To make shopping for blinds easier, start by understanding your home’s style and decor. With this in mind, you can select the perfect finish and colour that enhances your space’s look.

Room: Choosing the right blinds for your space’s size and function is crucial. If you need to create a sleep-conducive environment, blackout blinds are the perfect solution for your bedroom, whereas curtains or sheer blinds will have the opposite effect. Additionally, ensure that your blinds are easy to use and access, allowing you to reach the cord or wand easily.

Materials: Different blinds and materials are better suited for different rooms depending on your needs and space. For moisture-rich rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, PVC and aluminium blinds are ideal, resistant to mould growth and easy to clean. In comparison, material blinds are well suited to living spaces.

Lighting: The amount of light in a room also plays a role in the type of blind you choose. Blinds are perfect for rooms, like bedrooms, that require minimal lighting. The slatted design of blinds blocks most light, which can easily be adjusted to suit your needs.

Window Size: Knowing the size of your windows is one of the most important considerations in choosing the right blinds. Vertical and roller blinds are ideal for larger windows, while vertical blinds are perfect for smaller, narrow windows. Selecting the right blind for your window size maximises space and creates visual balance in your room.

Privacy Control: Most blinds are designed with privacy in mind, offering adjustability to regulate how much of your home’s interior is visible to the outside world. Blinds offer privacy that other window treatments, like curtains, cannot. Blinds do not have gaps and when fully closed, offer complete privacy to you and your family.

Our blinds are made from high-quality materials, including wood, PVC, aluminium and fabric. We use only the best materials to ensure that our blinds are durable and long-lasting.

We provide care and maintenance instructions for all of our blinds to help you keep them in top condition. The best way to clean your blinds will depend on the type of material they are made from.

For example, fabric blinds can be vacuumed or dusted with a microfiber cloth, while wooden blinds and PVC blinds can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a soapy cleaning solution. If you are unsure about the best way to clean your blinds, Homemakers Lifestyle can advise you on the best way to keep them clean and looking their best.

Blinds are designed and intended for light control and privacy. The level of privacy will depend on the type of blinds you choose. For example, slatted blinds will provide less privacy than roller blinds.

The blind must be guided up to prevent it from rolling up skew. If the blind begins to roll up skew the material runs against the brackets and the blind will fray.
