Every home needs curtains in just about every room, which is why it is important to make the right decision when choosing your next window treatments. The most popular window treatments to choose from are blinds, drapes and curtains.
Venetian blinds and roller blinds are the popular choice among home owners as they can be used in most rooms. The most popular room to have blinds installed is probably the conservatory. This allows you to control how much sunlight you want coming through into the conservatory from each window. The blinds are also able to totally block direct sunlight which helps to keep the conservatory cool during summer. The conservatory can get very hot as it creates a greenhouse effect due to the amount of glass windows, so you need quality blinds that can sufficiently block the sun and keep the internal temperature down.
The kitchen can also have blinds, but they tend to go with a more formal setting or minimalist look. You may want to look at cafe style curtains or sheer curtains for the kitchen. Depending on the style you are looking for, these curtains can provide an informal look or even a cottage style. Sheer curtains are able to provide you with the privacy you need from neighbors or people passing by. They also have the added benefit of still allowing in natural light from outside, even with them closed.
The bedroom provides you with a chance to have a more luxurious set of curtains. Blinds are not recommended for the bedroom. Interesting fabrics to keep in mind that best suit the bedroom are velvet and silk. You can find these fabrics in many colors to suit the existing color scheme that you have on the walls or bedding. You can also buy them with a lining sewn into the back which will help to prevent too much sunlight filtering into the room in the mornings.
