Why installation of blinds are better than curtains

When you start renovating or redecorating your home firstly you need to know your stuff.  It is funny how you are suddenly aware of how little you know about interior design and decorating.  Each blind can make for a leading change in a room with benefits that can be easily overlooked in the renovating stages. Both types of window coverings have their own advantages, so the best choice for your home depends on the main purpose of the window treatment. If you’re mainly concerned with aesthetics, decorative curtains might be the best route to take. If saving money on energy is your top priority, blinds could win out over curtains. Either can add value to a home depending on the quality of the product and the installation, but each one has different advantages and disadvantages. If you are moving into a new house or you want your house to have a new look, you will have to make a decision whether to install blinds or curtains in your living room windows. Lets us look at some of the factors which you should consider to determine whether to buy blinds or curtains for your living room.

• Blinds are easily closed but often leave about a half inch of open space on each side even after being fitted. Similarly, curtains may not close all the way in the middle, leaving a partial amount of space. Additionally, you must consider the ability of individuals outside to see shadows through either window covering. Unless the curtains are dark colored or lined, or the blinds specifically identified as thicker than usual, both will show some amount of shadows should a light be turned on in the room.
  
• Curtains are likely to be cheaper that roller blinds. However, this does not mean that all curtains are cheaper than blinds. In fact, high quality curtains are much more expensive than typical blinds. Therefore, whether you choose to buy curtains for living room or Venetian blind Melbourne for living room will be determined by quality and the amount of money that you want to spend.
  
• A homeowner desiring curtains may choose more expensive thermal-backed curtains for extreme climates for maximum energy efficiency. These curtains have fabric facing the room and other layers inside and facing the window for blocking heat and cold. You will have to sacrifice natural light with this option, and the curtains should be carefully installed to provide a tight fit to the window frame.
  
• The two main functions of either are privacy and the ability to control how much light enters a room. If you prefer sheer curtains, you aren't going to have a lot of privacy or darkness. But, they are ideal for a kitchen where you want it to be nice and bright. Heavy curtains will block most of the light coming in from outside, but if you open them to get more light in the room, you won't have a lot of privacy. Blinds are great for both light and privacy.
