We make a choice: curtains or blinds?
Until recently, curtains were used to decorate windows and protect from scorching sun rays. The choice of curtains and curtains in modern textile stores amazes the imagination of even the most demanding customer: various colors and original textures, design and stylistic solutions, wide price range. However, despite such an unusual color and affordable cost, not all "clothes" for windows successfully cope with their functional load and at the same time fit perfectly into the interior of the room.
Unlike textiles, blinds will help you not only to close the window that closes to the south as close as possible, but also to redirect the streams of light, make them scattered and more comfortable, without interfering with the flow of fresh air.
Visually expanding the interior space of the room, the blinds are considered an original decorative element, which advantageously emphasizes a special style and successfully completes its image. We will not dwell on the merits of this accessory, we are sure that you are very familiar with them. Instead, we will focus in detail on classification issues and factors that influence the choice of a particular model.
So, among all the variety of modern models, it is difficult, and sometimes, almost impossible to stop on a specific, the most suitable for your home option. Welcome to the fascinating world of practical blinds, which are suitable for any interior without exception: starting with classic options and ending with romantic country!
What should I think about beforehand when choosing blinds?
features and purpose of the room
We recommend that you analyze the features of the room in which the blinds will be installed. For example, luxury models are relevant for stylish bedrooms and living rooms, but not practical for kitchens. In rooms with high ceilings it is better to install horizontal samples, and with low ceilings - vertical or roll products. In this case, you must take into account that vertical blinds on plastic windows will visually increase the height of the room, and if this vertical plastic opening is an entrance, for example, on a loggia, vertical blinds can also be used as a partition. The choice of material for the manufacture of vertical blinds is wide and can satisfy even the exquisite taste of the customer.
The most practical and convenient for kitchen facilities and bathrooms are plastic and metal blinds, because they are moisture resistant and easy to care for. Vertical glass fabric samples are also very successful, because they have water-repellent properties and are easy to wipe.
To design and adjust the light flow of the living room or study, stylish jacquard fabrics are the most suitable, but rather simple blinds made of non-woven fabrics will look optimal in office spaces. Do not forget to combine the color scheme of the interior, furniture and the color of the blinds: even a slight imbalance in the shades can negatively affect the overall perception of the room.
functions and method of attachment
Consider the functionality of the blinds. If you want to hide from extraneous views, it is better to install the roller models and pleated, and if you need to adjust the penetration of sunlight into the room, then we recommend that you buy horizontal or vertical models. To solve the issue of decoration, you can use vertical multifacture models.
The next point to which you should pay close attention is the method of attachment. Blinds can be installed in window openings, fixed on the ceiling or wall surfaces, in sashes or even buy models already installed in a double-glazed unit. The choice of this or that product will depend on whether you need a free window sill and whether you will curtain it with curtains or lambrequins.
color model
Considered also the color of the blinds, because the general perception of this accessory depends on it. Choosing models of monochrome shades, you create a more businesslike, quiet and at the same time cozy atmosphere, while cheerful accessories decorated with expressive patterns and patterns are appropriate only in children's rooms.
Saturated colors and shades in combination with original stylistic solutions will perfectly fit into the interiors of modern living rooms and entertainment centers.
purchase budget
If you have a very limited budget, then the best option is to purchase traditional horizontal or vertical blinds. You can choose from the famous Compact products, which are mounted directly into the sash of the window, but you will have to pay a little more for the cassette models PRIS-Eco, PRIS-Roll, PRIS-Hit, PRIS-Life. But the most expensive and prestigious, because of their high quality and ergonomics, are considered wooden and pleated blinds.
After you have decided on the functional purpose, style and color, consider the most common and popular types of blinds.
Classification of blinds
Vertical. Being the most popular because of its elementary design and affordable cost, vertical models consist of a horizontal top cornice and vertical slats. Made of fabric, they can rotate around the axis, move to the side and to the edges of the eaves, to assemble in the central part. Convenience and practicality of use, a variety of color and textural solutions, durability - that's what drives the buyer of such blinds.
Horizontal. They represent a design of aluminum, wooden or bamboo lamellas with a width of 25-50 mm. Lamels of saturated colors can be collected upward, fixed at any height and even rotated. Installed on each leaf of the plastic window individually, the horizontal blinds look very neat and harmonious.
Rolling models, called curtains, are a light-resistant fabric that is wound on a special tube. In the case of cassette execution, a small cornice is mounted on the windows, inside which a pipe is located. Here, the buyer can choose any coloring of the fabric and texture, including wicker from heavy-duty natural jute. You can manage them using a single thread.
Pleated pleated blinds outwardly resemble a fabric, assembled in the form of an accordion with or without a cornice. Depending on the features of the design, there are guiding vertical cords, the lower and upper cornices. Models are fixed, assembled in the upper or lower part. Their advantages are external appeal, ease of use and care.
Wooden blinds equipped with horizontal lamellas made of natural wood or bamboo, which is why such products are included in the category of expensive accessories. Their installation can be made in the window opening, overlapping it, on the ceiling or wall surface.
