There at Blindsbypost, we offer an extensive range of blinds. From the classic choice of wooden blinds, right through to our brand new motorised, Somfy powered blinds. It can be hard to decide which blind is the best fit for your home, so we’ve put this handy guide together to make choosing a blind for every room in your home, easier than ever.
What to consider before buying your blind?
It is important to take into account many factors when choosing a blind for a specific space in your home. What is your budget? What is the space used for? Sleeping, cooking, or working? Think about the fabric when choosing for a space you cook in or that may be splashed with water, PVC blinds are great for wet rooms.
Light and privacy are also very important to consider. Blackout blinds will definitely be a better option for a bedroom or office space! If you’re decorating a children’s room, safety is also a priority when choosing your blinds – cordless could just be a better option for you.
Wooden Blinds – Our Wooden blinds offer a natural and organic look and feel to your space, as well as acting as a natural insulator providing protection from external weather conditions.
