Why You Should Install Roller Blinds In Your Home

This is a collaborative post.

Staying in the house all day and night can make you re-evaluate your home decor. You may have the same window treatments that came with your home or apartment, or maybe you have not had the time to redecorate in years. If you are looking for a way to bring something new to your living room, bedroom, bathroom, or office roller blinds are your best option. 

Operated either by a pull cord connected to the bottom of the blind or a winding chain on the side, a roller blind consists of a single piece of fabric that wraps around a cylinder mold. It can fit either within or outside your window frame. You can control its pulley system manually, or you can opt for motorized controls which allows you to adjust them without even being in the room.

You can choose between ready-made roller blinds or made to measure roller blinds. Ready-made blinds are designed and made in preset sizes that can be customized to fit any window size after purchasing, according to Essential Home and Garden.

They are usually cheaper and you can install these yourself. Made to measure blinds are super customized, made to fit a specific window, and no others. With made to measure roller blinds, you are able to get exactly what you want. They fit perfectly to your windows, do not require any adjustments, usually offer more customized fabrics, and are typically installed by a professional.

Roller blinds are very versatile and come in a wide variety of finishes, making them the perfect choice for any room you put them in. The blinds can come flame resistant if placed in the kitchen and moisture resistant if placed in the bathroom or anywhere that gets a lot of moisture.

For areas in your house that have electronics, they can come in 100 per cent polyester fabrics that are good enough to protect your computers and other electronics. You could also choose a fabric that is easy to clean especially for somewhere like this kitchen if you make a mess cooking.

Though they are ideal for skylights, they can also look great on bay windows and patio doors. They instantly update a room, giving it a trendy vibe instead of plush drapery and outdated curtain designs. They are great for privacy as the fabric eliminates the possibility of someone being able to peak through gaps in your blinds. 

Maybe you are a light sleeper or have newly had a baby and need all the sleep you can get? Do you need complete darkness to fall fast asleep, or maybe you are looking for blinds that keep the glare away from your television during movie nights? If you are looking for a way to completely block out the sun, some roller blinds also come with the option to be designed with blackout fabrics.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to roller blinds. Your blinds can stand alone, can be added to other window treatments especially in the colder months, or you can mix and match with different windows to give it your own unique twist.
