The answer to the question of which blinds are the most stylish, is one which depends more on personal taste than any other factor. However, there are some newer blinds that have become particularly well known for their ability to create a stylish look in any home, easily complementing any home décor.
In recent years we have seen a variety of different blinds come onto the market that provide both luxury and innovative design, that addresses the pressing concerns of homeowners of today, while providing a stylish look and feel. A key area of concern for homeowners is with energy efficiency, and how well their window treatments can reduce power bills by keeping homes cooler in summer, while retaining heat in winter.
New designs have revolutionised this area, maximising energy efficiency while providing optimal style. Another important concern is with technical aspects of how well the blinds can accommodate the typical family home situation, where there may often be children and pets that could become tangled in them.
In this article we consider the blinds that are able to address these concerns, while providing the style and grace that we desire from our window treatments.
Allusion Blinds – A Modern Alternative
One of the most innovative window treatments of modern times are the allusion blinds, which provide a stylish alternative to both curtains and blinds. Creating the soft light of curtains, when open, and privacy and security while closed, these blinds are an excellent choice, softening the space with their flowing lines.
These window treatments work like vertical blinds, however they have the added benefit of not having any strings between each blind, which means they are a perfect design for families to use over patio doors, as you can walk straight through them unhindered. Allusion Blinds are a popular choice to use in combination with your existing curtains.
Energy Saving Blinds
During winter when the weather turns colder, most of the heat is lost from the home through the windows, so addressing this with window treatments can greatly reduce energy costs. Duette blinds, also known as honeycomb or cellular blinds come in either single or double pleats, which create a pocket of air between the window and blind, which holds the heat in, in the same way double glazed windows do.
Zero Deflection Blinds
These blinds are ideal for larger windows, as they can accommodate blinds that are covering a wide space, without sagging or creasing, providing a stylish, line free finish. They are available in a variety of different designs and configurations such as blackout linings and smart controls, making them a sleek and stylish choice of blinds for now and moving into the future.
