What's Involved In The Blinds Installation Process?

New blinds can transform your room and your home, offering form, function and incredible aesthetic in one simple package. With so many options to choose from, it's not always easy to know where to begin when it comes to installing new blinds. We've put together this handy guide to unpack the ins and outs of the process, from selection to the final touches.

1. Choose Your Style

You want to go with blinds that accentuate your interior and match your existing style. Homeowners often find this the most difficult part of the process, especially with so many options to choose from. When you're making your choice, consider the sort of atmosphere you'd like to create. Do you want an interior that exudes warmth and comfort, or do you want to prioritise light? These sorts of questions will help you choose the perfect blinds for your needs.

So, you've selected a style (or two). Now it's time to consider your colour. When it comes to the colour scheme of blinds, there are a few things you need to know:

• Match or contrast? Blinds can be manufactured in complementary and contrasting colours. If you choose a complementary colour, it should be one or two shades lighter or darker than the rest of your room's interior. Similarly, a contrasting colour shouldn't be completely at the other end of the spectrum - it should be of the same chroma and saturation as your interior colour scheme. 
• Keep it simple: If you do choose to contrast, keep it simple. Consider opting for one main colour with two additional choices brought out in pillows or decor, and avoid mixing a number of bright colours of the same saturation.

Your blind material will help accentuate the feel of a room. A softer material will help your room feel more intimate and warm, while a harder metal or wood will feel colder but give you that sleek vibe - plus, it's much easier to maintain. 

It's generally recommended to opt for soft fabric blinds for your bedroom or living room, and wooden or metal blinds for your kitchen or bathroom space. The final choice is, of course, up to you.

Once you've settled on your style, colour and material, it's measuring time. Some people choose to measure themselves, but a professional will ensure an accurate fit. 

After you order your blinds, you can expect to wait two to four weeks for them to be ready. Your installer will do all they can to ensure a perfect fit and a quality blind that exceeds your expectations.
