If you’re upgrading or renovating your home, you may be considering installing blinds to help keep out noise, brightness and heat from the fierce Australian sun.
Blinds are a fantastic way to add style and value to your home while also providing some much-needed privacy. But, with so many options on the market, how do you know which to choose?
If you’re stuck trying to decide between roller blinds vs Venetian blinds, we can help. Take a look here at some of the key features people look at when making their decisions and how roller blinds and Venetian blinds stack up against one another.
Which cost more?
The cost of Venetian blinds and roller blinds are both going to vary dramatically depending on the size of the blinds, the material you opt for and the quality that you are willing to pay for.
The beauty here is that no matter which style you prefer, you can find both Venetian and roller blinds to fit all budgets. You pay for what you get which gives you plenty of options.
Which lasts longer?
Often, you’ll find that how long your blinds last will depend on how you care for them. If you keep the kids and pets away from your blinds and give them regular cleans to ensure that there is no build-up of dirt, dust or debris on them, they can last well into the future and provide you with many years of service.
In saying that, roller blinds are often made out of durable materials that are designed to withstand a bit of handling. Venetian blinds are also designed to last, however, you may find that the slats become damaged over time as they are a bit more fragile.
Do you want blinds that completely block out light?
Venetian blinds are fantastic as they allow you to let in or block out light with the simple act of angling the slats. This means that you can easily adjust the amount of sunlight you want to let into your home.
Due to the nature of the slats, it’s difficult to completely block all light from getting through the gaps. Roller blinds, however, allow you to completely block out sunlight if you want to which can be great for anyone working the night shift who needs to sleep throughout the day.
Which blinds are better for privacy?
Roller blinds are a great way to provide some privacy to your home, however, due to the style of the blinds, if you want complete privacy then you are also going to have to get used to a dark room.
Venetian blinds, on the other hand, are a fantastic option that allows you to enjoy the privacy provided by the angled blinds while also enjoying the natural sunlight that will be entering through the gaps in the slats.
Which are the better option?
This depends entirely upon you and your needs. Both Venetian and roller blinds are fantastic options for your home. They both provide different yet stylish aesthetics that can blend seamlessly into any decor.
The final choice will often come down to your privacy and light needs. Whatever you choose, with the ability to customise colours, materials and styles you’re sure to end up with blinds that look and function wonderfully.
