How to choose dining room blinds

When it comes to choosing blinds, you want something that speaks volumes for your sense of style and a feature that marries the theme selected for your dining room. It’s also essential that dining room blinds give ample light when needed and privacy when you want it.

Roman blinds

There’s a variety of different blinds available, given that Roman blinds are always popular providing an extremely formal but smart look. They’re always made of fabric and are concertinaed into pleats that fold horizontally once raised. This leaves a nice, neat fold-up, so you can get as much or as little light as you want. You have a choice of linings, and if your windows get a lot of light you may want some blackout coating.

Roller blinds

You can select Roller blinds in a wide variety of colours and patterns, and you can go for a subtle or bolder design, depending of course, on your interior colour/style theme. Roller blinds are simple to use in that they can be rolled up or down with a cord and you can also have blackout fabric on the outside of the blind, so you get some relief from UV rays.

Venetian blinds

Venetian blinds offer greater control of light and privacy and work well in windows that take in a lot of sun. They’re also great for rooms that have a lot of foot traffic close by, if, for example, your house is near a busy street. Like roller blinds, they come in a variety of colours, and materials such as composite, wood (real), fabric and aluminium. They can be easily matched then to any theme you have in your home, and especially the dining room of course!

Light, warmth and insulation

You’ll largely be influenced by how warm the room is and the type of light it allows in too. You may need blinds with a thermal layer if you need to keep the warmth in, and at least two of the blinds we’ve mentioned above would accommodate that.
