Roller blinds combine style and practicality for any room, coming in various linings, colours, and designs, but all that choice can turn into decision overwhelm!

We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about investing in roller blinds for your home!

Roller Blind Lining

The beauty of roller blinds is that you can tailor the lining to suit the function of your space.

If you’re planning on having a roller blind in the bedroom, for example, you can choose to have a blackout lining to block out the early morning sun. Or, to boost your home’s efficiency during the winter, go for thermal lining roller blinds to reduce precious heat escaping out the windows. 

Colour Choices

Just like any window dressing, roller blinds come in just about every colour and design you can imagine. And the best part? At the Sewing House, we stock a huge range of roller blinds, so you’ll be able to find the perfect finishing touch to your space, no matter if:

• You’re looking for neutral shades to create a timeless look
• You prefer bold colours to add a vibrant statement to your room.
• Patterns are more your thing, adding a touch of character to your space.

What Rooms Are Suitable For Roller Blinds?

In short, every room can look great with a roller blind!

• Living rooms: Roller blinds in the living room can add a subtle extra colour or texture to your room’s aesthetic. Consider pairing your roller blinds up with something like sheer curtains for an extra layer of style and function!
• Bedrooms: Roller blinds are a brilliant choice for the bedroom as they can completely block out the light, giving sensitive sleepers a safe, dark haven to retreat to for their slumber. 
• Bathrooms: In the bathroom, roller blinds really come into their own. You can choose moisture-resistant materials to handle the humidity from those hour-long shower singing sessions!
• Kitchens: Similarly to the bathroom, roller blinds are great for kitchens. Choosing a waterproof, wipe-clean material will mean they stay pristine for longer.
• Home offices: There’s nothing worse than a sun glare while you’re trying to work. With roller blinds in your home office, you have complete control over the amount of light you let in.

Installing Your Roller Blinds

You can mount your roller blinds in two ways, each giving a slightly different look and function.

For a clean look, you can mount your roller blinds within the recess of your window.

Alternatively, you can mount the roller blind outside the window recess, covering the entire window and providing extra light control.

Caring For Your Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are a great, low-maintenance option for dressing your windows. Regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a soft cloth will keep your blinds in top condition. 

If you go for textured blinds with different materials, make sure that you follow the specific care instructions from the manufacturer.

Roller blinds are a versatile choice anywhere in your home, providing both style and function.
