Get the perfect Roller blinds in Gold Coast

The use of blinds rather than curtains in residential properties has risen sharply in the last few years, as homeowners realise that these window coverings provide greater adaptability and design choice than curtains or lace coverings. Blinds allow you to choose the amount of sunlight that you are letting into the room, including blocking it out completely using blackout shades. If you are thinking about fitting roller blinds, Gold Coast residents need to know how to choose the perfect set for their home, and what type of blinds suit particular rooms.

Choosing the right slat width

If you are buying roller blinds from warehouses, then you may be presented with a few options, including three different sizes of blinds. Most types of blinds have slats which come in half-inch, one inch or two inch width sizes. The half-inch offers a more modern look, while 2-inch slats look more vintage, and are chosen by those who want to complement an older house or interior decoration. The only exception to this is roller blinds. Unlike in standard vertical or horizontal blinds, you won't have slats; instead you will have a length of fitted material, which is secured to both the top and the base rollers. There will be no width for slats here, and so you will only need the window length and height measurements.

Choosing the best blind for your style

If you have a decorated room that you would like to fit Gold Coast blinds into, then matching the decor may be the factor which influences your choice of blind the most. Design styles in the room need to be complemented by finding a type of blinds that suits the overall look of the room. Both home decor and blinds can be costly, and so it makes sense to buy to suit your style, rather than hoping to change the room to fit the blinds. You may find that rather than roller blinds, which can look modern and rather minimalist, your design style means that you would be better suited to putting vertical blinds in your Gold Coast home. What is important to remember is that having a definite style in your blinds can work well when they match the interior decor of the room. Fitting blinds that clash completely with your style may make the room feel uncomfortable or even oppressive, and will fail to finish off a room perfectly.
