Things You Must Know Before Buying Blinds or Shades Online!

Buying ready-made blinds is much easier, and often more profitable than ordering tailoring. There is no need to think over a sketch and select suitable fabrics because the store designers have already taken care of this. We know how important beautiful textiles are in the interior and how difficult it is to find “your own” in a huge assortment. Blinds are selected according to several criteria – according to the proportions of the room, style, desired level of light protection and which side the windows face.

So we have prepared for you some tips on how to choose the right blinds in the online store.

What To Consider While Buying Blinds Online
  • Proportions

Narrow rooms can be visually expanded with blinds with transverse stripes. If the ceiling is low, it’s better to choose a vertical pattern on the blinds, it doesn’t matter if it’s geometric or floral. You can pick roller blinds with a rounded bottom edge. If the furniture in the room is massive, and the room itself is small, blinds should be chosen from light fabrics. But in a spacious room, heavy blinds are needed for massive furniture. If the room is very small, organza blinds are ideal.

  • Light and Colour

If you need complete blackout, we choose blackout blinds or with a special coating that doesn’t transmit light. If you need visual lightness, translucent is the best option.

For the southern, eastern and southeastern rooms, cool shades of blue, green, blue, purple, lilac are suitable. But if the windows face north, west, and north-west, the best choice is warming tones such as yellow, red, orange, peach.

  • Material

When you choose a fabric for blinds, you need to individually consider how the selected colours will change under different lighting conditions. To do this, it’s better to ask the store for samples and attach them to the room or buy small pieces of these fabrics. Don’t forget that the blinds should be either darker or lighter than the wallpaper. This is a basic design rule.

  • Style

For the classics, blackout blinds with monograms, floral ornaments or velvety padding are needed. Velvet or faux fur blinds are available. Draperies are perfect for these styles.

Country, Victorian, Provence, Biedermeier require luxurious colourful blinds, the material should look like thick cotton. Here the favourite subject is roses. For a Victorian style, the blinds should be long, literally lying on the floor. 

Scandinavian and contemporary styles require light blinds, both plain and geometric. These styles are also subdivided into large, bright prints. The style is very simple because the roller blinds are also suitable. Techno, hi-tech, rationalism and other modern styles require mainly blinds made of cotton, organza, mesh, metallized fabric.

  • Appointment of the Premises

The living room is the most ceremonial place in the house and the most elegant blinds should be here. It can be multi-layer blinds with draperies and unusual details. If blackout curtains or blinds are too heavy for your room, make the same, but out of tulle. You can also make unusual blinds panels in the living room.
