Your choice of blinds will impact a room's look and feel significantly. In addition, different types of blinds offer different qualities; for example, some blinds are waterproof and durable and make a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens while others are made from delicate fabrics which are beautiful additions to a formal living room or dining room but may not hold up well to heavy traffic or wear and tear. As you can see, it is very important to choose the right blinds based on the room, your style and of course your budget. So let's take some time to discuss the types of blinds and their benefits available so you are ready to choose the right blinds for your home.

Door and window blinds are the principal decorative items in interior design. Wooden blinds are the ones which give a wooden appearance. In addition, it gives a warm look to the atmosphere in the room. You can be assured of getting the classy look that can change the look and style of the room when using blinds made of wood. Additionally, customizing the blinds to suit the style of the room can make the interior design more attractive.

Decorating interior with wood blinds

Wood blinds are the perfect choice if you prefer to give a graceful charm to your room, without making it look artificial. They have the grace and charm of making a room look much better than the curtains that have been used traditionally to decorate the rooms. Wood blinds for windows are the perfect insulators that can provide the room with the correct protection from extreme sun heat or cold weather conditions. Humid in-house areas such as kitchens or bathrooms can be decorated with faux blinds that give the look and style of wood-built blinds.

Types of Blinds

While new home decoration products are constantly being developed, and this is also true for window blinds, there are typically 5 major blind styles:

Venetian

Roman

Plantation

Roller

Blackout

Each of these blind types has distinct qualities which may or may not make them a suitable choice for your home or room, so let's take a closer look.

Venetian Blinds

Probably the world's most popular blind style, Venetian blinds are easy to install, low maintenance, and available in a variety of styles, designs, colors, and materials. Usually built from horizontal slats of wood or plastic, Venetian blinds feature suspended cords that allow you to rotate or lift the slats.

Blind Romance

For more formal rooms Roman blinds are an excellent choice. They are very stylish and sophisticated and they are not a great option for bathrooms or kitchens whilst offering good privacy and light control. Usually Roman blinds are made of soft fabric, and tend to be quite delicate.

Plant shutters

Plantation shutters are characterized by wide slats and are a stylish window covering that is low maintenance and offers a classic look. Planting shutters are also a great choice for increased privacy, security, and blocking of light. They are usually made of high quality wood and can be found in many colors and styles but tend to be more expensive

Blind Roller

Built from a rigid fabric that can be rolled around a fixed tube to make it lighter, the roller blinds are durable, easy to operate, and economical.

Blinds in blackout

Whether you want an affordable way to block light and increase privacy, blackout blinds is a great choice. These blinds typically feature the same construction as roller blinds but have thicker fabrics for greater privacy.

Choosing the Blinds

Your choice of blinds ultimately come down to function, cost and style. Now that you know a little more about the types of blinds that you have available, you can start researching the options that fit your home. Vinyl and aluminum blinds tend to be the cheapest, but blinds from wood or fabric offer enhanced aesthetics. So make sure you select blinds that not only suit your room and style but also your budget.
