Adding window coverings to your home may give your rooms and spaces a stylish appeal and, if done correctly, can instantly improve the look and feel of your rooms. Blinds are a fantastic way to add style and function to your windows; however, there are many fabrics and types to select from, making it difficult to choose the correct fabric.

Choosing the incorrect blind fabric or material may result in a window covering that does not deliver the desired aesthetic or function. We’ve compiled this handy guide to help you ask the right questions while looking for the perfect fabric for your blinds.

Tips To Consider For Your Vertical Blinds

Consider The Room

Evaluating the room in which you want to put your vertical blinds in Perth is critical. Not all blind fabrics are appropriate for all rooms. Wet rooms or rooms with more excellent moisture, for example, may limit your options due to the likelihood of moisture damage. To avoid any potential damage, it is recommended to pick synthetic materials. Your local blinds supplier should be able to advise you on the finest solutions for high-moisture areas such as your bathroom and kitchen.

Factor In Your Home’s Level Of Exposure

In addition to climate, the amount of exposure to the sun and other severe temperatures significantly impacts the type of blinds you choose to install. Why? 

Let’s assume your main bedroom faces the sunrise and your kitchen faces the setting sun; you’ll probably want a cloth or fabric that entirely filters out the brilliant morning sun—especially on those mornings when you wish to sleep in! 

Is there any shade or trees around your house? Or do you have trees on one side of your house, leaving the other side fully open to the elements? All of these factors should be considered while selecting blinds for your home.

A high-quality fabric will make all the difference in how effectively your blinds control temperature and light exposure in your rooms.

Consider The Climate Of Where You Live

Considering your local climate is arguably the most crucial item to consider initially when selecting fabric for your blinds, so we put it at the top of our list. Because we know how hot it can get on the Sunshine Coast, blinds are a necessary window covering for any property.

Mixing Fabric Selections

To use each fabric’s benefits, combine translucent or screen fabrics with a blackout cloth in your vertical blinds in Perth. Double blinds (sometimes known as ‘day and night’) combine two fabric blinds on a single bracket for complete light control.

You can have the best of both worlds by alternating between the blackout blind for privacy and obscurity and the translucent screen fabric for filtered natural light or a clear outside view.

Now you know!

Finally, the material of your vertical blinds is an important decision that can significantly impact the functioning and aesthetics of your living space. Each material option has benefits and considerations, allowing you to adapt your choice to your needs and tastes.

Whether you choose the elegance of fabric, the durability of vinyl, or the natural beauty of wood, consider light management, privacy, maintenance, and overall aesthetic. Fabric vertical blinds provide a soft and inviting appearance, whereas vinyl vertical blinds from Bravo Blinds are functional and easy to maintain. Vertical wood blinds provide warmth and sophistication to your design.
