Step 1: Assess the Room Conditions
Every room behaves differently. Before choosing blinds, think about:
• How bright the room gets
• Whether direct sunlight causes glare
• How much privacy you need
• Whether the room is exposed to humidity or splashes
• How wide the windows or sliding doors are
Bedrooms might need darkness and warmth, kitchens require durable and moisture-resistant materials, and living rooms benefit from soft, filtered light. Understanding these conditions makes the selection process much easier.
Step 2: Choose the Right Style of Internal Blind
We offer a variety of internal blind styles. Each one has different strengths and works best in certain types of rooms. Below is a detailed explanation of each blind type and where it is most effective inside the home.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are one of the most versatile and timeless internal blind styles. They provide a clean, modern look that works in almost any décor. They are available in sheer fabrics, which soften daylight while maintaining daytime privacy, and in blockout fabrics for full privacy and darkness. They can also be fitted as double roller blinds, pairing a sheer blind for daytime light with a blockout blind for night. This makes them ideal for spaces that need flexibility throughout the day. Roller blinds are perfect for bedrooms using blockout fabric, living rooms where soft daylight is preferred, kitchens that require low-maintenance fabrics and kids’ rooms because their simple design grows comfortably with the space over time.
Venetian Blinds (Timber, PVC or Aluminium)
Venetian blinds offer exceptional control over light and privacy thanks to their adjustable slats. Timber venetians bring natural warmth and texture to living rooms and bedrooms, making them an elegant statement piece. PVC and aluminium venetians are practical alternatives for areas with moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms, as they resist humidity and are easy to clean. Venetians are also a great choice for home offices because the slats can be angled to reduce screen glare without darkening the room entirely. They are ideal for any space where you want fine control over daylight.
Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are a practical and flexible solution for large windows and sliding doors. Their rotating louvres allow you to direct light or create privacy with ease, and they move smoothly to the side so you can access doorways without obstruction. Their streamlined appearance suits contemporary homes and open-plan layouts. Vertical blinds are ideal for sliding doors, wide windows and investment properties where durability and easy maintenance are important.
Roman Blinds
Roman blinds introduce a soft, decorative element to any room with their elegant folded fabric design. Available in sheer and blockout options, they allow you to choose between gently filtered daylight or full privacy and darkness. Roman blinds are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and any space that would benefit from a warmer, more sophisticated feel. They provide an inviting softness that complements both traditional and modern interiors, making them any interior designer’s top choice.
Honeycomb (Cellular) Blinds
Honeycomb blinds are engineered for insulation. Their unique cellular structure traps pockets of air, helping regulate temperature and reduce energy use throughout the year. They are available in sheer and blockout variations, making them suitable for rooms that require daylight diffusion or total darkness. Honeycomb blinds are ideal for bedrooms, media rooms and any area where thermal comfort is important, particularly in cooler climates. Their lightweight, quiet operation also makes them suitable for tranquil spaces.
Panel Blinds
Panel blinds offer a sleek, contemporary covering for wide windows and sliding doors. Their large fabric panels glide smoothly to the side, creating a clean, minimalist look. Panel blinds can also be used as room dividers in open-plan homes. They are ideal for expansive glass doors, large windows or modern spaces where a simple, architectural aesthetic is preferred.
Veri Shades
Veri Shades combine the softness of curtains with the practicality of blinds. Their vertical fabric vanes rotate between sheer and opaque settings, allowing you to enjoy filtered daylight or privacy without changing window coverings. They move effortlessly along a track, making them perfect for sliding doors and large openings. Veri Shades are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and homes seeking a soft, elegant finish without the heaviness of traditional drapes.
Step 3: Select Fabrics and Materials
The fabric you choose greatly affects the atmosphere and performance of your blinds.
• Sheer fabric softens natural light and maintains daytime privacy
• Blockout fabric provides full darkness and privacy, ideal for sleep
• Thermal or insulating fabrics improve comfort and reduce energy costs
Consider how much light, warmth or privacy each room requires before selecting a fabric.
Step 4: Choose Your Control System
Blinds can be operated in a different ways depending on convenience and safety needs.
Chain control is simple and dependable.
Motorised blinds offer maximum convenience, especially for large windows, hard-to-reach spaces or smart home setups. They can be operated with a remote, wall switch or smartphone.
Consider how often you adjust your blinds and whether automation would improve day-to-day comfort.
Step 5: Book Professional Measurement and Installation
Once you’ve narrowed down your preferred blind styles, the next step is an in-home consultation. Our design consultant will bring a curated range of fabric and colour samples directly to your home, along with the full collection of internal blind options. Viewing samples in your own environment helps you see how different fabrics interact with natural light, wall colours and flooring throughout the day.
During the same visit, your consultant will complete a detailed, professional measure of every window.
Internal blinds require millimetre-accurate sizing to avoid light gaps, ensure smooth operation and achieve a polished, built-in look. Combining sample selection with expert measurement ensures you get blinds that are both beautiful and perfectly fitted, without the guesswork of DIY.
