‘Blinds’ have undergone an incredible resurgence in popularity over the past few years. They tick many boxes – look, affordability, design flexibility, and an amazing range of technical or woven fabrics from which to choose. Gone are the patterned Holland blinds that hung in our grandmother’s kitchen; are panel glides, rollers blinds, verticals, venetians, and shutters.
Using blinds as your single window treatment can help reduce the overall cost, and can look stylish or casual, depending on the fabric. You can also combine them with curtains to give a softer effect to any room. They come in hundreds of finishes, including translucent, complete blockout, woven and printed fabrics, and highly technical weaves that simulate grasses/bamboo.

These window treatments cover:
Roller blinds, which as the name suggests, roll up and down to cover the window; Panel glides, which are ‘panels’ of fabric (the choices are limitless) which slide along a track;
Vertical blinds, which also slide along a track, but have narrower panels;
Venetian blinds, which come in aluminium of many shades, or timber, for a more natural look.
