Are you tired of traditional curtains and would like to change them to something more modern and practical? Or are you quite happy with how they look, but would like more functionality? Imagine: with one movement of your hand to hide from prying eyes, and from the obsessive sun … As in everything that concerns the interior, in the design of windows, it is necessary to take into account both points - both aesthetics and practicality. Both of these tasks are successfully solved by blinds.

Modern sun protection systems are not necessarily the usual vertical fabric or horizontal aluminum blinds. Rolled and pleated curtains, specialized systems for plastic and euro windows, interframe blinds are gaining more and more sympathy from our fellow citizens. They can be used "solo", and this is a very good option for the kitchen, where there is often no room for curtains. Or it can be combined with traditional curtains, for example, to darken or diffuse light, to regulate the direction of the rays. This is especially necessary if the windows face the sunny side. Blinds will help you solve tasks that are beyond the power of conventional curtains.

Controlling the light

Are your windows facing the sunny side, and your favorite curtains cannot cope with the bright streams of light? No problem. With the help of blinds, you can completely block out the bright light, and adjust the lighting according to the urgent needs or the purpose of the room. You can choose special lighting for the bedroom, living room, kitchen, nursery or library.

For example, you have a home theater in your living room. You probably know the unpleasant feeling when the light breaking through the curtains interferes with the comfortable viewing of your favorite movie. In this case, the Rollite roller blind system can be used in combination with opaque fabrics (Blackout). In the "assembled" form, such curtains are practically invisible and will fit into any interior, which cannot be said about dense heavy curtains, which are usually used for darkening.

However, roller blinds can not only effectively darken, but also gently diffuse light - for this, a light translucent material is used. It is not for nothing that these products are increasingly used instead of boring and ineffective curtains.

Use horizontal blinds with opaque (aluminum or plastic) slats - this design will allow you to smoothly adjust the luminous flux, and, if necessary, provide complete light isolation from the outside world.

We select blinds for the interior

Window decoration, of course, should be combined with the overall interior of the room. A wide selection of blinds materials will allow you to easily choose the right option in the desired style and color.

If you are accustomed to traditional curtains, but you are attracted by the convenience of blinds, it does not matter. You may well be able to choose an option that combines blinds with ordinary curtains: you will not have to change your habits, and you will pick it up for the interior, and solve the blackout problem.

To decorate plastic windows, feel free to use special Isolite systems, this is embodied functionality. They are attached directly to the window sash, forming a single whole with the glass. Thanks to this technology, the blinds do not interfere with opening and closing the window, do not take up additional space, and, moreover, do not hide the aesthetic appearance of the euro windows themselves.

If you want to create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the room, which is so appreciated at home, roller blinds are indispensable here. The variety of colors and textures will allow you to choose the right option for any interior, make it interesting and individual. In a classic living room, dining room or office, horizontal blinds made of natural wood look good, and in a modern high-tech interior - made of aluminum or plastic.

Custom windows

But what if you have a non-rectangular or tilted (dormer) window? How to make and darken a window while emphasizing its shape? Pleated curtains do a great job with this problem. Pleated blinds look modern and very stylish, and most importantly - these blinds are suitable for any room and will decorate any, even rectangular windows. You can decorate all windows in the house in the same style, using different colors and textures of fabrics depending on the room. By the way, the new apartment of the popular actors Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov is decorated with such blinds.

Convenient management

The advantageous difference between all types of blinds without exception from traditional curtains is easy control. With the help of a chain, rope or a rod, you can adjust the height and angle of inclination of the louvers, but "there is no limit to perfection" - for almost any sun protection system, various automation options are provided. It can be a button next to a window, a control panel, or a built-in component of the Smart Home system. The choice depends on the individual characteristics of your home.

Well, blinds provide you with tons of possibilities to make your home even more comfortable, practical and original. And how to use them depends on your desires and needs.
