Questions to Ask Yourself When Buying Blinds

The beauty of interior design is that it encapsulates so many different elements of your home. Allowing you to be creative with your space, finding the perfect blinds for your home can be an extremely rewarding process. 

But, before you go out and purchase a new set of blinds, there are a number of questions you should ask yourself. 

In this article, the team at Solo Blinds will outline what you should be considering when buying new blinds.

What is your budget?

It sounds obvious, but the very first thing you need to establish is how much budget you have. Blinds come in all shapes and sizes and prices can vary massively, so it’s good to have a rough figure in mind. Additionally, try not to become overwhelmed by the amount of choice that is out there.

With this in mind, it’s also important to not simply go for the cheapest option. Blinds are not a commodity you’ll often change, they’re an investment you should take seriously.  Compromising on quality could leave you with a sub-par product, so don’t be scared to spend a little more on something that will give you longevity. 

If you’re unsure about where to set your budget, contact our team and we’ll be able to talk you through the process, advising on what’s best for you. 

Do the blinds align with your room’s purpose?

You should always consider the purpose of your room when making a decision on what blinds to buy.  

Different rooms will require different levels of light, so it’s important to select something that works well. For example, people will often want significant levels of light in their kitchen or dining room, as it is a communal part of the home where people come together to eat, drink and socialise. On the other hand, bedrooms are private spaces, so less light is required. You can tailor which blinds go in which room, using thicker blinds in windows that face the sun.

What is the style of your room?

Aesthetically speaking, you should always want your blinds to complement the room they’re in. Not only are blinds functional, but they can become an intrinsic part of your room’s interior design theme, blending in with the style you’ve chosen. 

At Solo Blinds, we supply blinds in all different shapes and sizes and in a variety of colours, meaning there is something to suit all tastes.
