How to Use Blinds as Versatile Window Treatments in Open-Concept Spaces

 Blinds Abu Dhabi are a practical choice for window coverings. They allow you to control light and privacy without blocking views and can save energy costs by keeping heat and cold outside. They also protect carpets, furniture and other household surfaces from sun fading. Blinds come in a range of colors, materials and designs to suit any room.

Blind types include wood

Blind types include wood, faux wood, aluminum and a variety of polymers and composites. They're available in solid, patterned and woven textures. Many are available with slats that can be opened and closed, tilted to different positions or even raised and lowered. They're also available with breakaway tassels that are designed to separate into two pieces if pressure is exerted on them to prevent children or pets from getting tangled in excess, dangling cord.

 Living rooms and bedrooms

They're a great choice for rooms where the windows are exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, such as living rooms and bedrooms. They can also help deter prying eyes from a neighbor's yard or home. Blinds can be used alone or in combination with curtains, draperies and other window treatments to enhance a room's style.

When choosing blinds, consider the size of the windows and how much light you want to let in. You can find a wide selection at specialty home furnishings stores, big box stores and online. Many outlets offer swatches and samples (for a refundable fee) so you can see how they look in your space. In addition, some stores and decorators will measure your windows for you to ensure they're fitted correctly.

 As special fabrics and features

Another consideration when shopping for blinds is price. Expect to pay more for custom sizes and styles, as well as special fabrics and features. Blinds with a blackout lining, for instance, are ideal for bedrooms and can help keep the room cooler and darker during summer months.

Unlike curtains, which typically have a decorative hem, blinds are usually attached to the top of the window frame with a header or bracket. They're often sturdier than curtains, too, and can resist damage from kids or pets.

Conclusion

Blinds Abu Dhabi can be purchased at home furnishing and furniture stores, home centers, paint and hardware shops and through decorators. Some of these retailers and services will also install the window treatments for you, but this service will add to the cost of your blinds. Choosing the right blinds can be a challenge, but taking some time to review the options and talk with experts at a store can help you make the best choices for your home.
