While it’s important to choose the right windows for each room, it’s equally important to make sure that the window coverings you select are just as suitable. There are several factors to consider when choosing window blinds for your Winnipeg home. Here are some of the top features to take into account when buying blinds.
Style
The first thing that attracts us to a particular design is the way that it looks. No matter how affordable or durable a design might be, if it does not suit your décor, it will not prove to be a good fit. The style factor is very much a matter of personal taste. It’s also important to consider the style or decorative theme of the room. A modern style, for example, is best complemented by streamlined or linear-looking blinds. The same is true for color combinations. When selecting the color of your blinds, make sure that they suit your current décor. Many people take it a step further by selecting a color that is neutral and will suit several color schemes. This is beneficial since you will not need new blinds when you decide to redecorate the room.
Materials
Different materials offer different benefits and there are plenty of choices. Aluminum and timber blinds are best suited for windows that are exposed to a fair amount of heat. A white or reflective backing is excellent for reflecting light and heat. For rooms with high humidity, like your bathroom or kitchen, you should select a material that is resistant to moisture. PVC and aluminum blinds are a great choice for these environments.
Window type and style
The shape, size, and style of the window will also be a significant determining factor. Consider how the window opens since this will affect how the blinds should open too. Sliding doors also need coverings and many people choose roller blinds due to their clean design and fantastic functionality.

Privacy and light
Privacy and light control are two of the main reasons why we install window coverings. Some windows require more privacy than others and some windows need to block out more light than others. For example, your bedroom can benefit from blinds that keep the light out while your bathroom needs maximum privacy. If any of your windows are facing the street, it’s important to make sure that you enjoy complete privacy. Some types of blinds allow you to adjust the slats to allow light in without compromising your privacy. Fabric block-out blinds are excellent for keeping a room like your bedroom as dark as possible for peaceful sleep.
Safety and security
If you have small children or you plan on having children, safety is an important factor. The last thing anyone wants is for their child to hurt themselves while playing with loose-hanging components like cords used for adjusting the slats. Motorized blinds are one solution to this problem.
