Choosing the Right Blinds for Each Room in Your Home

Introduction

The right blinds can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of different rooms in any Perth home. It’s important to choose the right blinds to suit each room’s features and needs. 

This article provides a comprehensive guide on selecting the best blinds for different rooms based on lighting needs, privacy requirements and style preferences. If you’re a homeowner or DIY enthusiast looking to enhance your home interior with practical, stylish, affordable and customisable blinds as window solutions,  it contains the key information you need to know to choose the best blinds for each room in your home.

Blinds for Specific Rooms

Living Room:

  • Key Living Room Blind Considerations:

  • Balancing natural light with privacy for social and relaxation time. The living room is where we tend to spend most of our awake time when we’re at home, so it’s essential to get that balance right. It’s also often the room that our guests spend the most time in, so it’s crucial that its blinds create the best possible impression.

  • Recommended Living Room Blinds:

    • Roller Blinds: They are clean and modern blinds, offering light filtering so living room TV screens aren’t impacted, as well as UV protection. Roller blinds for living rooms can be both a practical and stylish option.

  • Vision Blinds: These blinds are ideal for controlling both light and maintaining privacy, while also adding a stylish living room touch. They have two layers of horizontal striped fabric (one opaque and one translucent).

Bedroom:

  • Key Bedroom Blind Consideration:

  • Prioritising complete light blocking for restful sleep. After all, if you can’t get a good night’s sleep because your blinds don’t completely block out light, then it will impact how you feel the next day.

  • Recommended Bedroom Blinds:

    • Double Roller Blinds: These blinds combine blockout and light-filtering fabrics for versatile light control in the bedroom. Blockout blinds for bedrooms make practical sense.

Timber is highly resistant to heat and humidity, and easy to clean with a slightly damp, microfibre cloth. Just make sure you do it regularly to make it a quick and easy job.

  • Cable Free and Rechargeable

    Easily installed without any wiring and technical know-how. The integrated battery motors are easily rechargeable with a standard USB-C cable. With average use, the motor only needs to be recharged once or twice a year.

  • Scan, Connect and Control

    Once the window covering is installed, scan the setup code with the MotionBlinds Bluetooth app. After a few simple steps, your window covering is ready to be operated via the app. By setting timers you can have your window coverings move automatically at set times, so you don't have to do anything yourself.

  • Just a Simple Pull

    Pull control is a special feature of MotionBlinds. A short manual pull on the chain, cord or control rod automatically sets the window covering in motion. It is the perfect addition to smart controls because it requires nothing: no connectivity, no smartphone, no remote control.

Easy and Reliable

Eve MotionBlinds supports Bluetooth and Thread. Simply scan the HomeKit Setup Code with your iPhone to connect Eve MotionBlinds, and create schedules to put your blinds on autopilot.
