Blinds or Curtains for a Modern Home?

When it comes to window treatments, there are a variety of options to choose from. However, in 2023, it seems that blinds are becoming increasingly popular compared to curtains. Together, let’s explore why this might be the case and why you should consider choosing blinds over curtains.

 

Versatility

One of the biggest advantages of blinds is their versatility. There are various types of blinds available, including vertical, venetian, roller and more, each offering different functions and aesthetics. For example, vertical blinds are great for large windows and sliding glass doors, while roller blinds are perfect for minimalistic interiors. This means that regardless of your interior style or window size, there is likely a type of blind that will suit your needs.

 

Functionality

Another reason to consider blinds is their functionality. With a simple twist of a wand or pull of a cord, you can adjust the amount of light and privacy in your room. Total Look Blinds also offer motorised blinds making them perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, and any other space where you might want to regulate light or control privacy remotely. In contrast, curtains require more effort to open and close and very rarely, if ever, come with motorised functionality. 

 

Easy Upkeep

Blinds are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike curtains, which may require washing or dry cleaning, blinds can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth. This is especially useful for people with allergies, as blinds ultimately trap less dust and other allergens than curtains. Additionally, blinds are less likely to fade or discolour over time, which means you won't have to replace them as frequently. Keep your home looking new for longer.

 

Durability

Another benefit of blinds is their durability. Made from construction materials such as aluminium, our blinds are built to last. They can withstand daily wear and tear, making them a great long-term investment. 

 

Smart Home Integration

Blinds can help bring your home into 2023 with Automate™, a division of Rollease Acmeda. The Automate range includes motors, controllers, sensors and smart home integration to create a variety of motorised shade solutions for New Zealand homes. Create a modern home with Total Look Blinds.

 

So, it seems that blinds are becoming an increasingly popular choice in 2023. If you're considering updating your window treatments, be sure to give Total Look Blinds a call. Get in touch today.

It's also great to know that I'm dealing with a local business that manufactures and supplies their own blinds.Appreciated Lauren coming to the Waikato for a measure, originally thought it was for Auckland only. I had intended to go for a different set of blinds but after consulting, the one I ended up choosing turned out way better as it matches the house.Installation was a breeze, Carl was apparently quite new but it sure didn't seem like it! Blinds look amazing. There was one I pointed out that appeared a bit slanted and Carl took it back with him to have it fixed. The team worked on it with no fuss and now I have perfect blinds to enjoy (:Highly recommended, will be requesting again for my other windows!
