5 Tips to Narrow Down Your Choices of Blinds for Your Cape Town Home

Here are 5 tips from us on how to do this:

1. Think about your personal style: Your home undoubtedly already reflects this, so you want your blinds to also be an extension of your style. Would Venetians be the best fit for the room or does it call for a more dramatic look, like roller blinds? Both options can complement any room beautifully.
2. Material is important: For kitchens and bathrooms, where damp can cause mildew, you need to look at moisture-resistant materials, like PVC or aluminium. To protect your new blinds in sunrooms and living rooms, which allow a lot of sun in, good choices would be block-out roller blinds, aluminium Venetians, or white wooden blinds.
3. The function of the blinds: What you use the room for will play a big part in choosing the right style. Keep the ambience of a formal living room demur and elegant with roller blinds, and brighten up the family room with gorgeous vertical blinds which you can open completely to let a stunning Cape Town view stream in.
4. Privacy and light control: Venetians are excellent for privacy and light control. Simply adjust the slats to your preference of both. In rooms where privacy is not necessary, roller blinds are a great choice. Adjusting the amount of light you allow into a room is an easy way to set the mood – open the slats completely to let light and sun stream in, or angle them slightly for just a hint of the winter sunset in Cape Town.
5. The position of the window: Make sure that you will be able to easily reach the wand or cord. Sometimes a slight rearranging of furniture can achieve this, but with the right blinds for the right window, this should not even be necessary. These window dressings are an extension of what is currently in the room and should fit in effortlessly.
