How to choose your blackout roller blinds

When it comes to choosing blinds the options can be many. Finding the right one requires having a clear idea of the different possibilities in terms of functions, models, designs, materials, and measures.

Below is a review of the aspects to consider when choosing your blinds.

The first thing is to solve what function we want it to fulfill; what reasons lead us to think about her. For example filter (cover or reduce) the passage of light, protect privacy, reinforce a decorative style, accompany another element of the decoration, enhance an exterior view, conceal a construction defect, visually expand or reduce a room or A window, among others.

Once we have this clear, we will have to define aesthetic aspects starting with the type of blinds. The type of blind is mainly given by the system used to hang it and the design appropriate to that system.

The best known and practical option is undoubtedly the barrels; there are also the blinds of rails, with, Roman, roller or roller blinds, blinds, those of oriental panels, even pleat, pleated, Venetian and chains.

Ideally, choose the fabric in a store where you can find all the fabrics that are needed for different fashion items: parties, knitted fabrics, upholstery, exclusive goods, schoolboys and laundry, and not in one dedicated exclusively to blinds since almost any fabric can be turned into a good blinds. Then it is necessary to consider which fabric is suitable for the light required by each space.

For rooms with few hours of direct sun, light and translucent blinds is suitable, which allows the passage of light but offers privacy. On the other hand, in rooms with a lot of light, thicker blinds are required, which avoids excessive heat in summer and wear caused by sunlight on furniture and objects.

To completely restrict the passage of light the best will be a velvet, corduroy or brocade. The most modern in this regard is a blackout. An interesting combination is to use a light blinds behind another with more body, to arrange alternately.
