8 Great Blind Types To Add A Great Finishing Touch

Many types of blinds bring an exciting touch to decorating a home. They’re elegant and classy while providing control over the amount of sunlight that can enter a room while also maintaining your privacy. Energy efficiency is another upside of blinds as they allow light to enter while keeping out the heat.

8 Great Blind Types To Add A Great Finishing Touch

In terms of interior design, the perfect blinds can provide contrast to your home’s existing colors or blend with them to stay within the set theme. Moreover, consider working with a company like Make My Blinds for made-to-measure blinds that can perfectly fit your windows. Here are some great types of blinds you should consider if you want to give your room a great finishing touch:

1. Vertical Blinds

These types of blinds have their slats and blades arranged vertically. These are often used for full-length panes, as well as to cover up walls. Vertical blinds are commonly found in offices and are designed to preserve your privacy. They also provide a good finishing touch to office spaces and study rooms because they contrast with the rooms’ otherwise horizontal setup and textures, which are often made of wood.

2. Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are also great for privacy and light control since they can remain closed during the day but still let light enter. They have a simple, clean look with decorative trimmings on the edges of the panels. This type of blind also comes in different levels of opacities depending on your preferences. The levels of include:

  • Sheer
  • Semi-sheer
  • Semi-opaque
  • Opaque
  • Blackout

The fabric used cascades down and then neatly folds back on itself as you raise and lower the blind. They’re available in the cordless, top-down bottom-up, and motorized styles, the latter having a button that opens and closes the blinds.

Roman blinds are among the best for places with adequate mounting space, and where design and detail are the top priority, such as the living room, the dining room, and office spaces.

3. Wooden Blinds

Wooden blinds are a great choice when considering safety, contrast, and durability. Often, the original color of the wood is important when it comes to the finishing touch it provides. These blinds connect the office or house with nature as it allows you to experience both living in a modern home and in a rustic wooden cabin at the same time. Further, they tend to draw away attention from other objects, letting the room become the focus.

Additionally, wooden blinds ignite a feeling of life besides making the house or office space seem cozy and warm. Last but not least, wood presents a priceless textural value since these blinds can blend or contrast with other objects in the room, whether they’re made of wood or not.

Wooden blinds come in two types:

  • Wooden Blinds with Tape – A tape is a fabric that’s used together with slats to hide cords and make blinds appear more polished. The room looks sophisticated as the tapes complement the wooden slats.
  • Wooden Blinds Without Tape – This type lacks a secondary fabric and the slats are visible. The blinds make the room appear bright and bold, and are perfect for study rooms because the finishing makes the room appear incandescent and lucent.

4. Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are among the most popular types of blinds. These have horizontal slats joined together using a fabric called tapes, which hold each slat at the same distance apart and allow tilting of up to 180 degrees. Venetian blinds have horizontal slats made of metal, wood, or plastic. There are also aluminium venetians. Their ability to add vibrancy is what makes them popular. The room can become flashy or snowy, making it seem like an exhibition that draws attention to the contents of the room rather than the windows and walls.

5. Blackout Blinds

If you want to have a good night’s sleep or want to be in a dark room that has little to no light coming in, choose blackout blinds as these use special opaque fabrics to block ambient light from entering. These blinds are for bedrooms and home studios. The finishing touch you get from these blinds is akin to a theater experience.

Use these blinds in multimedia or entertainment rooms, such as the living room, a home studio, or a gaming room.

6. Perfect Fit Blinds

Perfect-fit blinds are often used on doors and windows. As the name suggests, they fit upon installation. This type of blind makes any room appear as simple as possible, drawing attention away from the windows and doors. These blinds can work best in a home library or office.

7. Roller Blinds

Roller blinds have a slim profile that’s easy to wipe. This is essential in any home or office since no one would like to spend hours cleaning blinds. Home or commercial roller blinds also often come with a plain design that can be customized by adding in painted or stenciled patterns. The resulting pattern or painting viewed from inside the room can look like a silhouette. This is because the light coming in from outside only goes through the negative parts of the painting, thus making the room almost as classy as an art gallery.

8. Day And Night Blinds

Day and night blinds are similar to roller blinds, but the main difference between the two is that day and night blinds have two layers of fabric. Every layer has opaque and sheer panels that can be adjusted to block or allow light in. The sheer panels, which are translucent, let in light and, at the same time, guarantee privacy. This is a perfect choice for a home office as the effect on the room can be elegant with a touch of professionalism.

Conclusion

Different blinds provide a different touch to the house besides serving their primary purpose. There’s a blind suited to every room. For instance, wooden blinds bring a touch of life and nature while providing a textural contrast to what may otherwise be a dull room. On the other hand, one can achieve a simple touch to any room just by installing perfect-fit blinds. Select the right window blinds by considering the theme of your room, how much light or privacy you want to have, and the effect you want your blinds to exude.
