Blinds are a great alternative to curtains

Whether you have just moved into a new home or are planning to spruce up your home to give it a new look, installing blinds is a great way to enhance the overall look and feel of your home!

You may wonder – should I go with curtains, blinds, or both? The truth is, there is no right answer. On one hand, curtains look good against large windows. Not only does it help to block out strong sunlight, it offers that touch of grandiose to a big room. For a smaller room, however, curtains may be a tad overwhelming. In this case, blinds are a simple yet stylish alternative.

What are blinds?

Blinds is a type of window covering that is made up of individual slats. These slats can be adjusted up and down or left and right to control the amount of light entering a room. 

Most blinds typically have a rod and cord on both ends of the window. The rod is used to control the tilt of the slats, either up and down or left and right, to adjust the amount of light coming in. The cord is used to adjust the length of the blinds.

What are the various types of blinds?

Compared to curtains, there are plenty of options when it comes to blinds. Each blind can have significant differences compared to other types of blinds, with each offering their own unique function as well. 

Here is a rundown of some of the popular blinds for the Singaporean home. 

Roller blinds

Roller blinds are perhaps one of the most popular and versatile blinds options amongst homeowners. Most roller blinds look simple enough to fit into any type of room. Furthermore, there are plenty of designs and patterns that you can choose from depending on your decorative style. 

Roller blinds are easy to manage and maintain. All you have to do is to dust these roller blinds regularly to ensure that it lasts longer.

Roman blinds

Roman blinds are unique in the sense that they are a hybrid of curtains and blinds. Most roman blinds are made of curtain fabrics, which gives you the option to have a complete light blackout or dimout capabilities depending on the curtain fabric that you choose.

Venetian blinds

Venetian blinds are known for their functional ability to allow light into the room while offering a degree of privacy. They can be angled in a certain manner to allow more or less light in, and when completely closed, offer a lot of privacy from outside. 

Venetian blinds are highly versatile and can be installed in any room. They also come in various materials, with the most popular being the wooden venetain blinds.

Vertical blinds

While most homeowners tend to opt for horizontal blinds, vertical blinds offer a unique function on its own. Most vertical blinds come with a plastic wand that allows you to control the amount of light entering the room turning it clockwise and anti-clockwise. The vertical blinds can also be open from the side, or parted from the middle. 

Outdoor blinds

Outdoor blinds are ideal if you have a balcony. These weatherproof blinds help to prevent rainwater from splashing it, and also keep the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays at bay. 

Korean blinds

Korean blinds, also referred to as combi blinds, offer the versatility of privacy, lighting and style to your home or office. The Korean blinds is made up of two layers of fabric, one opaque and the other translucent, all rolled up into one blind. As the blinds are adjusted up and down, the two layers of fabric will overlap each other, offering you the flexibility to adjust the light and privacy in your room.

Key considerations when selecting the type of blinds

Picking out blinds can be a tough decision particularly when there are different styles and functionality that each blinds offer. 

Here are some key considerations to bear in mind when choosing blinds for your home or office.

The type of room

While most blinds are versatile enough to be installed in any room, there are certain blinds that will suit a particular room over another. For example, you may not need to install an outdoor blind in the kitchen since there is no weather element that will affect your kitchen. If you are unsure, always check with the blinds company as they are likely to offer appropriate blinds recommendations depending on the room that you are working on. 

Incoming sunlight and privacy

Do you want your room to be bright and airy or shady and cozy? This can help you to decide the type of blinds to go for. Some blinds such as the vertical blinds will block out any incoming light once it is completely shuttered. Korean blinds, on the other hand, offer a certain amount of light to stream in while maintaining privacy from the outside.

Budget

Are you planning to install blinds throughout your entire home or limiting it to certain window sections within the house? Depending on your budget, you may want to spend more on certain windows while cutting back on others. Bear in mind that window treatments typically get more expensive as the size of the window increases. The materials, design and features of the blinds also affect the overall costs as well. 

Cleaning effort

Cleaning blinds typically do not require any professional help. However to some extent, the type of blinds that you have will determine the way they should be cleaned. For example if you are cleaning wooden blinds, you may not want to lather on too much water as it may end up ruining the wood.

Safety

Blinds tend to come with an attachment of strings that may end up trailing all across the floor. If you have young children or pets, you may want to consider getting cordless blinds to minimise the risk of any accidental strangulation.

Decorative style

Blinds come in a variety of styles, patterns, designs and colours. Knowing the theme of your home can help you to decide which style and type of blinds to go with.
