Window decoration and practicality, roman blinds can be very elegant!

When you think about buying blinds, your first consideration has to be whether it is practical for a particular window.

Blinds can block light from outside sources and ensure privacy without the use of heavy, or dark material that may not suit your decor.

They are best suited to bedroom and living room windows, or places that require a complete blockage of daylight, like in a space where televisions or computer screens are commonly used.

Such blinds will completely block outside light and make the rooms more conducive for a good night’s sleep in bedrooms.

For this reason wooden blinds are often the preferred choice in nurseries, as well.  For  kitchens where a lot of light more welcome, light curtains may work more effectively to filter light, rather than block it completely.
