A busy living area, often a place in the home that is used to retreat back to after a long day, or alternatively spend some quality family time together, deserves the love and attention the rest of your home gets. While the process of decorating a space as large as your living room may feel daunting, designing a space that will appeal to you and your family both in terms of functionality and decor style may be easier than you once thought.
Strip back the core components of your lounge, and start with the basics, and by basics, we mean your window treatment.
Why switch up your living room windows?
Changing your living room blind makes all the difference, as light evokes a new and renowned atmosphere evoking calmness and clarity, and who doesn’t want their home to feel like that after a long day. Having the utmost control of your light and privacy in your home should always be at the top of your priority list when designing a space, especially in your living room.
Choosing to swap out your worn and old window coverings with a fresh new blind, will give your room a whole new vibe that is long-lasting and on-trend for years to come.
Which blind is best for my living room?
Determining the way in which you want to style your revamped living room all depends on how you intend to live in it.

Whatever your desires and interior dreams, we have put this handy guide together to help you choose the best blind type for your living room.
