Blinds Direct: Top tips to make the most of your windows

Window coverings are one of those décor items that can change the look of a room and bring it together for a picture-perfect finish. Whether you are looking to add blinds, curtains or shutters to your home or office, Blinds Direct can help with this.

Most online stores only offer standard sizes with very few colours and fabrics to choose from, but at Blinds Direct you can find both ready-made and made-to-measure options in a wide variety of fabrics, textures and colours to ensure that you get the exact look that you are going for, for every window. Aesthetics aside, they have lots of functional value too.

For example, blockout fabrics are often very useful in bedrooms to completely block out the light to ensure that you get an uninterrupted night’s sleep whereas sheer fabrics might be used in areas where you want to retain your view or where privacy is not needed, such as kitchens. Aluminium venetian blinds give a sleek finish to offices, bathrooms and kitchens while basswood venetians can give a feeling of warmth and sophistication to just about any room. As an alternative, we would recommend using plaswood, also known as faux wood, for warm and high moisture areas such as your bathrooms, saunas, etc. The reason for this is that a natural product such as basswood or bamboo may warp when exposed to excessive heat and moisture. Blinds Direct has made shopping online for all your blinds and curtains as easy as it can be – simply insert the measurements of the window online and receive instant pricing. If you’re not sure how to measure, videos and instructions are available on the website to show you step-by-step instructions so that you can’t go wrong There’s no need to worry about collection either as they courier right to your door, whether this be at home or at work, all over South Africa.
