How we decorate our homes says a lot about
us. From an aesthetic point of view, a home may be an indicator towards the
personality of its inhabitants, or their hobbies. On a deeper level, the look
of a house can also show if its owners pay attention to details or not.
While most people do pay attention to the
furniture that they buy and try to maintain it as well as possible, one element
of the décor of a house, which is sometimes overlooked, is the way that the
windows look. Usually, people are contempt with installing cheap blinds, which
most of the time look horrible and fail to fulfil their purpose.
Those who have hired an interior decorator
will know that there are several types of blinds, each with its own style and
functionality. Some are thick enough to block sunlight, while others are
designed to block only the harmful UV radiation. Each of them is like the piece
of a puzzle and it only fits in certain places, as long as it complements the
overall style of the building.
The
world of roller blinds
When talking about the various types of
window blinds, one cannot consider that one style could be better than another.
Each style of window coverings has advantages and disadvantages. What sets roller blinds apart from other items
with similar use is their flexibility. These are made of a stiffened fabric,
which is attached to a wood or metal roller.
As far as their function goes, these window
blinds can be separated into several categories, based on the amount of light
that they block or their general appearance.
Blackout blinds completely block sunlight.
They come in many different colours and patterns. A “lighter” version of these
is the light filter blind, which only partially block light.
