Roller Blinds: the Little Tweak That Will Make Your Room Look Finished (And Surprisingly Expensive)
In this modern age of unconventionality, everything is more open to new ideas, especially in the areas like interior and exterior design, fashion and cooking. Every mistake can serve as an inspiration, every bold move is applauded at – practically everything is acceptable. Having this in mind, I decided to do a small change in my home by including some new pieces in my rooms and try to alter the entire room appearance by dressing my windows.
My windows have been bare for a couple of years now, since curtains became too dull and I realised all they’ve been doing was suffocating my space and limiting my room view. So I took them off. However, my apartment is in a rather exposed position, facing my neighbours’ home and offering quite the view. Which only means I need to use some kind of window treatment to ensure my privacy. So I decided to buy roller blinds online, after choosing and looking and combining for hours.
Roller blinds are an amazing option for dressing windows since they cover just about how much you need them to at the moment. At the same time, they’re modern, and if chosen right, they can complement your room design perfectly. You know, like wrapping everything up in a harmonious whole. That’s the best thing about roller blinds: you can just roll them up when you need a view, and put them down when you need privacy.
Some people often question the effectiveness of roller blinds. From what I’ve read doing my research on the matter, roller blinds are far more effective than their counterparts, like shutters, Venetians, curtains and Romans. They are mainly made of sheer fabric, or what I call a “golden middle” choice of fabric: not too blocking, nor too translucent. Meaning, enough to block the light when needed, and give you privacy while not throwing you into complete darkness.
And probably the most important reason why I chose roller blinds is the fact that their sophisticated simplicity makes the room instantly look more expensive. One thing though – when you look to buy roller blinds online, make sure the ones you choose have sleek lines and are not massive in design, as you won’t be able to achieve the elegance effect.
Bottom line, windows are a large style element in a room that can easily become the attention-catching point. Which means, you need to make sure they look good so that you feel comfortable when at home and get that “wow” sigh from your guests.
