How To Chose The Perfect Luxury Blinds

Whether you are moving out or building a house from the ground up, window treatments are some of the most important foundational pieces to consider. There are so many options to choose from, ranging from the material, the level of insulation and privacy all the way to the colour and pattern options.

To help you make the best decisions for your new home and its new luxury blinds, let’s take a look at all the factors that need to be taken into consideration.

Step 1 – Pick Your Product – How Much Light Do You Need?

The first step you need to take is to think about what your needs are and in the particular space. How do you want light to filter through into the room? Do you need a soft diffusion of light throughout the space or as much sunlight as you can get throughout the day? After you’ve taken this into consideration you can adequately pick your product, meaning you can decide whether you need blinds, shades, shutters, drapes, or motorized options, like motorized blinds Vancouver.

Step 2 – Pick Your Material – How Much Insulation You Need?

There are countless options to choose from where it comes to picking suitable materials or fabrics for your window treatment. Some materials are great insulators, while others are not. For example, aluminum blinds are energy efficient. They reflect light and heat in the summer, helping keep your home cool and reducing the need for the AC, and they keep out the cold and keep in the heat during winter, reducing your heating bills.

In addition, some sheer fabrics are fantastic light filterers, but are delicate, not holding up well in the high-traffic room like a child’s room. other materials like wood are beautiful, timeless and classic, but if you love to cook, wood won’t hold up well in a kitchen long term because steam and humidity will damage it, potentially cause it to grow mold. Fabric shades or drapes may also absorb smells, requiring regular washing in a household which cooks regularly. In this case, it might be best to get composite or PVC shutters which can give you the look for real wood, without its fragility.

Step 3 – Pick Your Colour – Which Colour Best Suits Your Home?

With a wide selection of colours and patterns to choose from at a blinds company Vancouver like Lux Blinds, you are sure to find something that suits your style and every requirement.
