Choosing Blinds, Curtains or Shutters

Blinds, Curtains or Shutters?
Needing to decide on the window furnishings best suited for your redecorating project? Not only does your window covering provide privacy, it should also support the rest of your interior design. Choosing what to put on your windows can be a difficult decision. Are blinds more cost-effective? Will curtains complete the look? Can interior shutters bring cohesiveness to your entire home? Below are a few considerations that may help in your decision:

Blinds
Blinds are a popular choice simply because of how cheap they are, but sometimes it's a buyer beware situation. Though some have varying degrees of light control, they sometimes aren't as durable as you would like. Blinds also tend to be lighter than other alternatives and can be easily lifted and rattle when the breeze gets up. This makes them more likely to get damaged and they may require replacing every few years.

Curtains
The main benefit of choosing curtains would be the range of their designs. Clients can choose fabric types, length and even the print of the fabric so it matches their interior. While curtains have their place, they don't allow much adjustable air flow & privacy when fitted on an interior window. Curtains may fade, may also need professional cleaning and in high traffic areas may be prone to scuff marks that sometimes aren't easy to clean.

Shutters
One huge advantage of shutters is how family-friendly they are. With adjustable air flow & privacy, they are easy to clean, making them a great solution for inside as well as outside situations. Shutters are available with different blade/louvre sizes, tilting options, standard colours, custom colours and different fitting options. Shutters offer the best value in terms of maintenance and longevity.
There are several factors to consider when making your choice. Your purchase should be easy to maintain, functional, durable and easy to install. Contact Shutter Kits today for all your shutter needs designed for your requirements.
