The Forgotten Element?

Benefits of Installing Roller Blinds in Your Home

If you're trying to determine what window coverings to install in your home, why not consider roller blinds? Read on to discover the benefits of these coverings.

Minimal Aesthetic

Roller blinds help create a minimal aesthetic as they don't add unnecessary lines and details to the walls. For example, they don't have slats, louvres or curtain folds. The flatness of the blinds mimics the flatness of the walls. Additionally, because roller blinds come in a vast array of colours, you can easily match them to any room. For example, merge them with the room by installing a cream blind against the cream walls. This approach will minimise the transition between the surfaces. Alternatively, create a colour block effect and fit navy or charcoal blinds against beige walls, for example. 

Softness

Even though roller blinds allow for a minimal look, you can customise them to give a soft and sumptuous feel as well. For example, install a patterned blind. Many designs, such as winding leaves and fronds, geometric patterns or classic baroque motifs in cream and white, are available. Some patterns, depending on the colours and design, can give offer a lacey feel. Roller blinds also pair well with curtains because they're so contrasting. Roller blinds are flat, and curtains are flowing, creating the perfect match.

Light Control

Before dual roller blinds were available, roller blinds may have been a bit limited in their light control options. But if you install a model with two blinds on one system, you can deal with any conditions. For example, pull down the block out blinds at night to darken your home. Or else, draw down the sunscreen fabric in the daytime. These screening fabrics block UV light and protect furniture from fading and your own skin from sun damage.

The unique advantage of this screening fabric is that it offers you an uninterrupted, though softened, view of the outside. Conversely, Venetian and vertical blinds cover the windows with slats and louvres unless they're pulled entirely open, in which case they don't offer light control. Even sheer curtains fall in folds, and they don't provide such a clear vision of the outside. 

Easy to Care For

Roller blinds are easy to care for as they don't feature a lot of nooks and crannies or slats and louvres that can collect dust. You can simply wipe or dust the flat fabric pieces. Nor will you be compelled to remove the blinds and put them in the washing machine, as you may be required to do with curtains. 

Thus, roller blinds offer numerous benefits. They evoke a sleek aesthetic, and their vast colour range lets you harmonise the blinds with any room. You can also create a softer feel by using patterns and pairing the blinds with curtains. They allow you to control every kind of lighting situation. Plus, they're easy to maintain.
