WHY CHOOSE VERTICAL BLINDS?
When buying vertical blinds, there are several important options and factors to consider to ensure they meet your functional, aesthetic, and budgetary needs.
1. Fabric Options
- Fabric: Offers a softer look and better light diffusion; available in light-filtering or blackout.
2. Style & Aesthetics
- Colour & Pattern: Match your room's colour scheme or choose neutrals for flexibility.
- Slat Width: Common widths are 127mm & 89mm; wider slats offer a bolder look, while narrower slats feel sleeker.
- Valance/Headrail Style: Covers the track mechanism.
3. Light Control & Privacy
- Blackout vs. Light Filtering: Decide based on room use (e.g., bedrooms may need blackout).
- Tilt Functionality: Allows fine-tuning of light and privacy.
4. Size & Fit
- Custom vs. Ready-Made: Custom made & professionally installed ensures perfect fit.
- Inside vs. Outside Mount: Inside is sleeker; outside can make windows look larger.
5. Budget
- Prices vary based on material, size, and features.
- Balance between aesthetics, durability, and affordability.
6. Child-Safety Design
- Child-friendly design with fabric slats
- Simple operation using wand
- No chains along the bottom
