What Are The Best Type of Window Blinds?

Posted by phoebe skinner on 21st November 2019

When choosing which blinds to have in your home, the most important thing to think about is practicality. Most blind types are versatile enough to work in any room, but it all comes down to the preference you have. People use blinds for different things, it could be obvious, that you are sick of the light glaring in, but it could also be that your house is getting too cold so you need a way to keep the draft out. 

Investing in blinds for your home doesn’t have to be an expensive procedure, there are many options available that can make it easy and cheap for you. Let’s take a look at the things you need to consider, as well as the blinds we offer here at Yard Direct. 

Before You Purchase

Before you buy your blinds consider which room they are going to be put in and what the purpose is. For example, if you are looking to block out the light in a child’s bedroom, you will want to opt for blinds that have a blackout coating. Another thing that you need to decide on is whether the blind is going to be fitted within or outside the window recess. If it is going on the outside then you need to allow at least a 45mm overlap at the sides and bottom, this way, the light won’t creep in around the edges.
