Shutter blinds are window coverings that are made up of slatted panels into a frame. They can be made from a number of different materials and are a great option for many different rooms in your home. Shutter blinds are a great way to beautifully decorate your home, adding personality and enhance the overall aesthetics and value of your home. There are many reasons as to why shutter blinds are so popular amongst homeowners. This article discusses some of the many benefits of adding shutter blinds to your home.
Privacy and Natural Light
Sometimes we are torn between allowing natural light into our homes but still having privacy from the outside world. The beauty of shutter blinds is that they allow privacy but still let in natural light. Before the introduction of shutters, the only solution was a selection of vertical blinds that tended to restrict the view or nets, which are not as aesthetically pleasing and also have many other limitations!
Shutter blinds allow both privacy and natural light simultaneously as they can be angled to reflect and filter the light but blocks out prying eyes. The angled shutters allow you to still enjoy the view from the comfort of your own home.
Child Safe
Toddlers and young children love to climb onto furniture and do not understand the risks that come with it. Unfortunately, it is a fact that pull cords on many blinds pose a significant risk to toddlers and young children. This may mean that many blinds are not suitable for your home! Shutter blinds, on the other hand, are pull cord free, hard wearing and low maintenance. This makes them a great choice for your home, especially if you have toddlers and young children who love to cause chaos!
They are also very practical for rooms where children can reach the windows. Shutter blinds are a wise choice for those who are prone to trips and falls!
Versatile
A room being humid, hot or one that receives a lot of high sun can dictate the type of window covering you choose. This is because with some times of window coverings or blinds, these types of conditions can cause damage. However, with shutter blinds, the conditions in the room will not cause any damage. This makes them great for any room, including bathrooms/wet-rooms, kitchens and conservatories which are typically hot, humid and receive direct sunlight.
Shutter blinds are also versatile in the way they can dress windows of all shapes and sizes. If you have windows that have special features, you do not want to hide these with your window coverings. Shutters can enhance the features of your windows and ensure that they can be seen from all angles of the room. Shutter blinds can really make the most of your windows aesthetic charms!
Value for Money
Many people consider shutter blinds to be a luxury product, probably due to the luxury aesthetic they provide. Shutter blinds can be at a higher price range than other window coverings but they add value to your home. Shutter blinds are sold as a fixture and fitting in your home and can add incentive when the time comes to sell your home. Many people find that shutters add far more value to their home than the original cost of adding them.
Shutters are also great value for money in relation to energy cost. They will help to insulate your home, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmed in the winter. This means they help to keep your energy bills low and enhance your house’s overall energy efficiency.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Looking past all of the functional benefits of shutter blinds, a major benefit to them is their beauty and timeless elegance. Shutter blinds last for decades and are most definitely worth the investment. They are clean, fresh and up to date. Whilst there is no arguing that trends in fabrics and furnishings change, the sleek elegance of shutters remains the same. The style and look of shutters remain on trend whilst the room changes around them.
