How you dress your windows can have a big impact on the overall look of a room, but picking colours and materials is just the tip of the iceberg. Often, one of the biggest decisions will be choosing between curtains or blinds (although sometimes a combination of the two is best), but even this isn’t just a question of aesthetics, as it’s important to consider functional practicalities and maintenance too. After all, we don’t just dress windows to make a style statement – it’s also about privacy, controlling the flow of light into a room, and keeping heat in and draughts out. So, where do you start? 1. What ‘look’ are you after? 2. Will they be easy to clean? 3. Are they suitable for the room? 4. Do they offer enough light versatility? In the bedroom, you might want something that totally blocks out the light when you’re sleeping.......#roomswithview. For more information call 0800 161 3392.
