A guide to choosing roller blinds

From a minimalistic look that never goes out of style, to blocking out the sun’s glare and keeping in heat, there are so many benefits to choosing roller blinds. But what if you’re not sure? Before you make any final decisions, discover what roller blinds can bring to your home with this helpful guide.

Offering a classic, clean look that works with every interior, a blind like this Trapani, Ivory roller blind will bring a stylish finish to every room. But there’s a few things to consider before making an order.

Keeping in the heat

If keeping in heat during the winter months is something you think about when designing the interior for your home, roller blinds should be at the top of your list. The solid layer of fabric acts as an insulator, trapping in the heat, meaning your home can look great and feel cosy without racking up a hefty energy bill.

Block out the glare

If you have a space where the sun’s glare can become frustrating, such as an office or in front of a TV, roller blinds are the perfect way to keep your home looking great, while blocking out any unwanted beams of light. Plus, if you need an extra bit of help getting a good night’s sleep, a blackout option will have you sleeping like a baby in no time. 

Hassle-free cleaning

Roller blinds don’t just offer insulating and anti-glare properties, they’re also painless to clean. For regular, day-to-day cleaning, simply run a damp cloth in a downwards motion across the fully opened blind and they’ll be dust free in no time. When it comes to tougher stains try using a diluted stain remover to gently clean the affected area.

Where would roller blinds go in my home?

Roller blinds offer a lot of benefits when it comes to controlling the heat and light that comes into your home – and what’s more, they’re versatile enough to work with any room or look. For rooms where windowsills hold knick-knacks and photo frames, roller blinds are the ideal choice for ensuring they can stay on show, even when they’re closed. Roller blinds can also make a great feature in your home. Choose a bright colour or patterned option for an eye-catching burst of vibrancy in a neutral room.
