Are you blinded by the light?
Well, you may need to buy some blinds. No one ever said buying blinds was the most exciting purchase you'll make, but having high-quality curtains and
blinds is a real game changer.
Deciding between Venetian blinds and roller blinds can be difficult, trust us. There are many factors to take into consideration; cost, cleaning, privacy, everything
matters. Both have their perks and their deficiencies.
Let us give you some information that might help make this decision a little easier. Here's our rundown of Venetians blind and roller blinds.
Let's Talk Light
Let's get right to the nitty-gritty. How much or little light do you want coming through the blind?
If you want to control the amount of light coming in through your windows throughout the day, Venetian blinds will allow you to do so. You can adjust the
amount of light by opening and closing the slats. Rays of light may still slip through the cracks, however.
If you are an all-or-nothing kind of person, then you'd choose roller blinds. With these, you can shut the light out completely during the day and night,
if you choose. Or, you can leave them wide open and let the whole world into your room.
It's worth noting that you should consider your privacy when having the "light" conversation. Both blind options will offer complete privacy, but with Venetians, you can be semi-private and still get some
light into your room.
Let's Talk Decor
Which of the blind options is better for decor? Both can be lovely. It depends on what you're going for in the room.
Venetian blinds bring a certain amount of decadence to your room. They're a more classic style of blind and there are some gorgeous models that will enhance
any room.
Roller blinds, on the other hand, come in many different patterns. They can even become the focal point of your room, depending on the pattern you've chosen.
You can make a much stronger statement with roller blinds.
Practicality
Aside from the amount of light that you want to let into your room, Venetian and roller blinds each have a unique "user experience".
Venetian blinds are a bit bulkier than roller blinds, so you need to consider space. While you can order both for any window size, roller blinds tend to
be tighter fitting, taking up less space, than Venetians as well.
Roller blinds are the perfect option if you don’t want your window views obstructed. You can roll them up and have a no obstruction to your outside views
which makes them very practical.
Both types can be easily cleaned. With Venetians, you'll have to dust every slat, which can be more time-consuming. Rollers consist of fabric so they will
have a different cleaning process altogether.
If you give your blinds the proper care, both Venetian and roller blinds will last a long time.
Venetian Blinds or Roller Blinds?
As we've laid out in this article, there is no right answer to this question. Both are a great choice. In fact, why choose?
