What's in your home? Venetians, Roller Blinds or Curtains?
Comments (15)I love rollerblinds for their neat, sophisticated look. Venetians are a nightmare to clean... x) Plantation shutters are worth the investment. Low maintenance and good in wet areas where fabrics/wood may not be so good. I have a mix of plantation shutters and rollerblinds, with a few curtains. :)...See MoreAre roller blinds our best option?
Comments (19)Luxaflex Silhouette blinds would be a great option for you, you get complete privacy at night but have the option of privacy during the day as well while allowing full light. Unfortunately, they are also VERY expensive. Although you want to roll the blinds totally out of the way during the day have you considered the aspect of your rooms? Rooms facing East will have morning sun pouring in which can be very glary even in winter and of course rooms facing West will have all the hot afternoon sun making your rooms like ovens. Rooms facing North will have the sun in winter which of course is not at all unpleasant. As well you need to consider sun damage to your furniture and furnishings. Taking that into account, I think a normal block out roller blind would work well and maybe a double blind with mesh where sun might be a problem. There is a blind company I can highly recommend located on the Gold Coast but I'm not sure if they service Brisbane - No Bull Blinds. I had no trouble with their blinds at all and their service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble. You are getting close to Christmas now so you may find many companies are closing their books for pre-Christmas orders....See Moreplantation shutters
Comments (2)Absolutely. As long as the streetscape is the same at the front, changing the others to an alternative can work well. Maybe you could consider timber blinds in a colour to match the shutters in some of the other rooms so that visually the blinds would look similar....See MorePlantation Shutters or Blinds
Comments (3)Hi Bradley, firstly what a beautiful home you have developed. As a window covering professional, I would pose you a number of questions before giving any advice. So firstly consider what the room is being used for (it may seem obvious to you - but everyone is different), secondly what is the style/concept/mood you are attempting to pull together, thirdly what obstacles are present in the window. All these items a Window treatment specialist would review with you prior to making suggestions. Of course - lastly, what is your budget. To give an example - in the bedroom- you may need it to have a total block out facility for sleep, (Plantation Shutters wont provide total block), or maybe you want to highlight the view (Plantation Shutters are for closing it off), and as you have mentioned - you would have to mount it onto the architraves (would look unprofessional if you stuck up plantation shutters over the archs) and getting to the sash windows would be difficult to open and close the shutters. In your case (my opinion only!) I would look at Roman Blinds for the bedroom (Face Fix above the windows, and over the window architraves ), perhaps with a sheer behind to filter the view, still giving you filtered light during the day - but providing privacy. In the other rooms a roman blind is also applicable (again because of your sash windows face mounted and covering the Archs when closed.) There is a lot to consider - so recommend getting some help!
