Personal preference When deciding which windows coverings to buy, if you’re not a fan of curtains then you’ve got to pick between blinds or shutters. 5 things to take into consideration before you make your decision. 1. Type and size of window The type and size of the window will have an impact on your decision as it may not be possible or practical to use them. Duette blinds are best for French or bi-folding doors since they will not get in the way of the door or window opening. They would also work well for other large windows.

Room Windows in different rooms serve different purposes so we’ve gone through each room and come up with a solution. For windows facing the street, you should go for shutters as they provide privacy as well as light; in a kitchen or bathroom, coverings have to be water-resistant so water-resistant blinds work but vinyl shutters provide a long-term solution; for bedrooms, blackout properties are crucial and so blinds are more fitting although ‘hybrid’ shutter blinds also exist and are equally effective. 3. Pricing Installation costs can be hefty so make sure you have a clear budget in mind. It is important to remember that you get what you pay for. Window shutters are usually more expensive than blinds. Custom-made blinds or shutters will of course increase the price tag as well. 4. Longevity When it comes to durability, shutters are a better bet than blinds because they are designed to be sturdy, regardless of what material they are made of. Blinds made of high-quality materials can also last the test of time. Make sure that whatever you buy, it has a long guarantee. 5. Personal preference When all is said and done, the choice between blinds and shutters is a matter of taste. There’s no correct decision, you just have to choose the window covering which is best suited to your windows, budget and personal style.
