When you are trying to kit out your home with various accessories you might be wondering if there are any that are going to make your life easier. When it comes to finding the right blinds to put up at your windows there are a couple of options. You can install manual chain pull ones or you might opt for motorised tracks. Motorised tracks are remote controlled and can be set to open and close at different times of the day so you don’t have to do it yourself. This is handy if you have a set wake up time and need the natural light to wake you up. 

Why Choose Roman Blinds

Roman blinds will never timeless and adaptable to both traditional and modern decors. Traditionally roman blinds have a cascade effect which gives them that neat and tidy finished look when they are hanging up at your window. This is created by the fibre glass rods inserted across the blind width. Recently a more relaxed type of blind has grown in popularity. This has no rods and is secured by a wide complimentary strap either side. This is ideal for a decorative blind but not practical to adjust. 

If you are looking for great light control then you can’t go wrong with roman blinds, they are very energy efficient. They have the ability to keep the heat in when it’s chilly and let the heat out when it’s slightly warmer. 

Measuring Your Roman Blinds 

All our roman blinds are tailor made to the measurements provided, this means they are completely personalised to you. There are two types of measurements you can provide, recess or blind size. Recess size is the measurement of your window recess to which we would make sure the blind fit inside. Blind size is the exact measurement of your blind, this is ideal for blinds fitted outside the recess so you can have them extend past the recess to reduce light seepage. We do have measuring guides on our website or you could consult a local fitter.  

Choosing Your Colour & Design

When it comes to choosing the colour and design of your blinds you will find the choices are endless. For a new modern and sleeker appearance we have lots of jacquard and textured plain fabrics. A bright and colourful printed design would be ideal for any children’s or family room. Of course a more elegant or traditional style might option for embroidered floral fabrics. We offer blackout linings to use in bedrooms if you don’t want to be woken up by the daylight too early in the mornings. If you are trying to decorate any room in your home then matching your blinds with your furniture and walls will make them look even better. 

Benefits Of Motorised Blinds

Finally, if you are tired of using manual blinds and want something different then you can install motorised blinds all around your home. These save the everyday hassle of lifting and lowering the blinds yourself. If you want to wake up at a certain time each day then you can set these to lift up at the time that suits you. The blinds are remoted controlled that you can mount on a nearby wall for ease. They are not as expensive as you might think to make your blinds motorised, you can control the light with a click of a button. Motorised blinds are powered with a lithium battery that can be charged by using a cable. Depending on usage these typically last around six months. 

You can also opt for a smart hub to control your blinds through your smartphone or smart speaker device. The Evaglide Hub is available as standard or a USB version. The system works through your Wi-Fi network.
