POLL: Curtains or Blinds?
Comments (83)Totally agree with VLS Curtain Makers Ltd. Whether you choose curtains or blinds to dress a window they should be what you like and want, suit the property and your lifestyle. I have clients with pets who would rather have a blind so that the fabric doesn't get covered in dog hair, whereas other clients prefer to have curtains trailing across the floor simply because they like the look and it suits how they live and the style of the property as well as their other furnishings....See MoreAdvice re: blind design for open plan kitchen/diner
Comments (73)I've had a look at activewindowfilms.co.uk sounds like there may be a small amount of light reduction, at the price it's worth a trial though. Yes, people stare straight in here! It's a bit uncomfortable when you feel like you have eye contact with a stranger when you're eating your dinner! :-) I guess it's human nature though... I'm not sure I can handle bolder with the splashback, mostly because I'm keen to keep it as neutral as possible, so that other items can be changed as fashion changes or if I sell up at some point. I had considered a mirror splash back.. I wasn't going to tile, just glass upstands below the sockets. 14:27 For privacy I think the first option would work if it really is invisible as it appears. The watery colour of the splashback works with the blinds and art. I wonder whether to go a bit bolder though? Are you tiling at all? Where did you get find the invisble film? I may try that as a temporary solution until we can afford shutters or curtains. People literally stop and gawp at our dining room!...See MoreMatching a blind - modern country
Comments (6)Another option which would work equally well and make things a little easier is not to add colour with the blinds but to add colour through your walls. If you take your blind to B&Q they will be able to create an identical paint colour to any colour in the blind. Accent walls and the introduction of colour will open your space further. The colours in the blind -red, blue, white, green are all nature's colours of the sky, so you could really go to town with country accessories for the two rooms - think plaid throw, fur rug, wicker log basket, wooden pillars for candles etc. OR Looking at the lights above your dining table it seems as if that shade of blue would be a good accent. Your kitchen blinds are stunning and work well in the space and in order to match I suggest picking the colour you like most from it and using it as a plain colour in the lounge for curtains or roman blind and then use a lighter/darker hue for accents - cushions, photo frame, ornament etc. So before you make the final decision shop around to see which colour you would be able to work with the most. As for the patio door I agree that it looks as if any hung curtains would not fall properly due to the proximity of the breakfast bar. You could though replace the strips with the colour of your choice as that would work well....See MoreThoughts please:Blinds for these windows and doors?
Comments (61)We get asked this question a lot, and that is why we sell integrated or integral blinds which are totally enclosed within the glass cavity of the double glazed unit, and are available for most of the doors and windows we sell. They can be manually or electrically operated, are available in a range of colours, and have Venetian or pleated versions. They can be closed for complete privacy, opened to any angle for different shading or raised up almost completely out of the way. Aside from enclosing all the working parts (safe for toddlers), they enhance the thermal efficiency of the unit they are enclosed within and will never need cleaning! You can upgrade existing doors and windows, although if you are purchasing new, ask your supplier about Uni-blinds Integral Blinds beforehand....See MoreUser
