Modern Urban Shutters
Leaving a window bare with no decoration means that you get no privacy day or night. It also means you cannot prevent glare or keep your room warm or cool. But how do you decide what to hang on your windows?
Every option available has its merits so you need to work out what you need the window covering to do.
Window Covering Budget
Let's start with your budget. With a small window this may not be an issue, but you will need to spend hundreds of pounds if you wish made-to-measure lined curtains in a quality material for a large window. If you have a standard sized window, there will be a large choice of ready made curtains and blinds available to buy for a wide range of budgets.
Interior Decor
What is your home interior style? Do you love colour and traditional styles or neutral colours and clean lines? This will impact your choice of window covering. A more traditional living room with comfy sofas and cushions is more likely to have curtains or maybe a Roman blind or both.
A modern flat may just have a simple roller blind.
Purpose
What do you want from your window covering? Is it simply to make your interior decor look complete or do you need blinds to prevent sun glare on your TV or laptop? Maybe you need to protect antique furniture from the sun. Or maybe you have a cold room and need a covering that will help keep heat in the room especially in the winter.
Once you have worked out your budget and requirements, we recommend getting in touch with your local curtain and blinds shop who will be able to advise you further.
