Stop looking at the walls, look out the window – Karl Pilkington

Our windows are a reminder that there is a whole world beyond the walls of our homes, and what better way to embrace the beauty of these special features in the home, than with gorgeous window treatments? Choose from an array of window coverings including curtains, blinds and more now available from Leroy Merlin.

Here are 10 ideas for your next interior project…

Roller Blinds

Blinds offer a simple, stylish and streamlined alternative to curtains. They are affordable, easy to clean and versatile. Not only stylish but roller blinds are also easy to open and close, providing full coverage. We love roller blinds for their streamlined appearance. Simply pull the blind down for complete privacy, or open wide to let the sun shine through!

Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds can be used for windows of all sizes as well as sliding doors. The tilt mechanisms on a vertical blind allow for light to shine through according to your needs.

Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are made from fabric designed to pleat when raised. The blinds are thus constructed by mounting slats, which are connected to cords, into the back of a fabric panel. When the blind is lifted, the cords pull the slats together and force the blind to fold into pleats. These types of blinds offer significant coverage when you need privacy or to block out light in a room.

Sheer Curtains

Sheer curtains offer a stylish accent to a room. More of a design statement, these bring a softening quality to a space, more than a functional aspect. The beauty of sheer curtains is that these can be combined with other window treatments, such as blinds of shutters for a more elegant look.

Blockout Curtains

Sometimes early morning light can become a major problem, especially in a bedroom or a child’s room. If you’re hoping your little one will sleep a little later, then blockout curtains are the perfect choice to keep your room darker for longer. They typically offer the best light-blocking power in a room.

Double-Rod Curtains

Hanging curtains on a double rod offers lots of versatility. A common combination is using a thicker and more decorative curtain material for the outer rod and hanging sheers on the inner rod. That way, you can close both types of curtains for maximum privacy and light blocking. But you also can close only the sheers to allow light into the space while still maintaining a bit of privacy.

Eyelit Curtains

These are an easy and convenient choice for the home. Eyelet curtains slide directly onto a curtain pole without the need for additional curtain rings. Fullness is based on preference but we recommend at least double the width of the curtain pole. This will allow for the fabric to concertina comfortably, as well as helping to avoid overstretching or a gap when drawn.

Taped Curtains

Unlike eyelit curtains that can slide directly onto your curtain rod, taped curtains feature a tape at the top through which your curtain will attach to hooks which are then hung up. These types of curtains may help to achieve a fuller look, but are a little more time-consuming to install.

Shutters

Shutters are possibly the more durable option for window coverings. These can be made from wood or metal and can add a modern look to the home. Security shutters are also a popular choice for modern spaces.
