What are the best type of living room blinds

If the kitchen is the heart of any home, then the living room is the soul. This is the space where most of our daily living is done – where families get together to chat about their day, where we entertain ourselves whilst watching TV or entertain guests, and where most of the things we love are kept.
It’s arguably one of the most important rooms in any house and so it’s important that it is decorated in a way that is both comfortable and practical for you and your family. Finding the best window treatments for your living room can make all the difference when it comes to creating a room that you love spending time in, so how do you choose?
Read on below to find out which blinds are best for the living room.
Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are one of the most practical and stylish ways to dress up the windows in your living room. They’re affordable, lightweight and easy to customise to suit any window, but what really makes them a great choice for the living room is that they come in a wide variety of fabrics, colours and textures – meaning you’ll have an easy time matching them with your decor. In a space like your living room where you’ll want to put your best foot forward, it helps to have choice available to you. Beyond just simply choosing the best pattern or colour for your space, you’ll also find roller blinds can be made with materials offering different light blocking, privacy and insulation properties. Sheer fabrics will allow light to filter in whilst maintaining your privacy, perfect for living room’s that face onto the street. Sunscreen fabrics on the other hand will protect your living room from UV rays and prevent people from looking into your home whilst still allowing you to maintain your view outside – they’re a great choice for both streetfront rooms and for living rooms that look out on the backyard. If you treat your living room more like a home theatre, then room darkening and sun-blocking fabrics might be the best choice for you. Blockout blinds will prevent the sun from seeping in, improve insulation in your home and create a theatre-like atmosphere. For more control and versatility, you might even want to consider a double roller, which allows you to alternate between different types of fabric on the same window. Finally, roller blinds can easily be automated, making them a convenient option for when you’re about to sit down for a movie and want to adjust the light! With their contemporary, streamlined design, they’re easily one of the best options for window blinds in a living room.
Roman Blinds

Roman blinds are great for adding a nice, classic touch to a living room space. They offer similar benefits to roller blinds as they’re available in a wide range of colours, patterns and styles and can also be automated, but are capable of making a space feel even more polished.
With their soft, folded fabric or timber battens, they offer great control over light and privacy and can easily be tucked away under a pelmet when not in use. They’re really the best blinds for their living room windows for homeowners who want to make their space feel dressed up and put together, without spending a lot on designer window systems and fabrics. For those seeking an elegant, yet practical option for their living room, roman blinds are a clear winner.
Indoor Shutters

Indoor shutters will add a touch of classic style to any living room. Shutters come in timber, PVC or aluminium, meaning you’ll have plenty of options when it comes to selecting shutters suitable for your space. They can include a middle or hidden tilt bar and may feature rebated, glued or screwed joints. Shutters are an excellent choice for living rooms because they offer excellent control over privacy and light and are hard-wearing and resistant to cracking, peeling, scratching or chipping. They’re also a wonderful choice for insulation and can keep your living area feeling cool and comfortable year round. Choose from an array of slat sizes, colours and designs to suit your space.
Curtains

Blinds not your thing? Then you may want to consider adding some stylish curtains to your living room space. Curtains are a great choice for living room spaces as they add a nice decorative touch to your windows, and come in a wide variety of styles. Living room spaces are often more about creating ‘atmosphere’ and this is easy to do with curtains. Sheer curtains might give your space and soft, romantic feel, whilst room darkening drapes hung from the ceiling can add drama and gravitas to your windows, pulling the room together and making it feel more spacious.
