Buying your first home is both a daunting and yet exciting experience all at once. For the most part, we want our place to look a bit different from the rest. This in itself is a challenge, with so many stores and catalogues offering cheap furnishings, it can be more than tempting to purchase items that everyone else has. Fortune as they say favours the brave, so if you are feeling like stepping out, vertical blinds could be the way for you to create a unique pad as it is not the most common choice of window treatments among homeowners.
Magazines - The first place to start your search will be in interior magazines. These will have inspiring images for you as well as featuring useful contacts for you. If you ask around you will find that friends have a stack of magazines that they can loan you and failing that you can also consult your local library as well as charity shops which usually sell such magazines second hand.
Materials - The great thing about vertical blinds is that you really aren't limited to the materials you want them in. You could have wooden vertical blinds to give your house a cutting edge look that is heads above the rest. A bespoke option is another way to go and a tailor made blind specifically for your room will have a very small possibility of being replicated elsewhere. It may even be possible to make them yourself! The decision is yours to make.
Blackout - A popular option for most fabric blinds these days is to have them made in black out material. What this means is that, when closed: your blinds will create a darkened space. This is fantastic for rooms that have too much sunlight shining in which can prevent sleep and also penetrate through glass aging furniture. Recent studies have shown that a huge portion of business for most blinds companies comes from requests for black out blinds.
Elegance - The design of the blind is extremely elegant because it runs lengthways and this can help to give a feeling of height to your room. Factors that affect this include the colours you have the blind made up in as well the quality of fabric used. It could be helpful to discuss your options with an interior designer who will tell you the best colours to use for the different scenarios. The blinds company you use will also have very helpful suggestions for you.
Office - Another area to consider using the vertical blind is in your office space whether at home or elsewhere. Vertical blinds, as well as looking elegant, have a distinctly professional look about them. This may be because of the way the eye perceives the shape or just social conditioning in general. Many banks feature vertical blinds on their windows for this very reason. I can also think of several movies I have seen where the hero is a rich executive with these blinds on his office window.
