The UK online advice website www.opennshut.co.uk report that the "Top 3 favourite blind styles" in recent times have been Woodslats, Metal Venetian and Roller blinds.
Woodslat blinds provide a 'natural wood' beauty suitable for any room, whether contrasting or blending with traditional or modern look décor. The choice of colours and stains of the horizontal slats making-up the 'shutter-style' feel, coupled with the easy-to-use controls, ensure this wonderfully appealing style of design is a worthy winner of it's number 1 spot in the list of 'Top 3 favourite blind styles'. Like shutters, the woodslat blinds allow you to carefully control the amount of light entering your room, and angle slats so that you can protect furniture from sunlight damage.
A consistent favourite in the modern home, the Metal Venetian blind, with slimline thin metal slats, allows for a range of exclusive colours to match almost all décor options. From traditional whites and natural pastels to bright shades and stripes. Easy to install, they can fit most windows, including Velux, skylights and tilt & turn designs. Fitted with simple to use controls which provide quick tilting to deflect light as much or as little as required, as well as one easy pull up cord to allow for instant maximum sunshine. Metal venetial blinds are also very light, making them a good option where easy lifting is important or on larger windows where installing a heavy blind can be difficult. A great all-round winner!
The well-known classic Roller blind has always been an easy solution to blocking-out the light whether for privacy or as a need for Blackout. The style has the features of basic pull-down, pull-up control and gives the choice of specific fabrics to suit every room. From bright kitchens, steamy bathrooms, through to seductive and calming bedroom designs. The ultimate user comfort, easy installation and simple controls, all at an affordable price, make Roller blinds the practical favourite option. Roller blinds are also available in a blackout option if blocking out maximum light is important.
