In the home design process, window coverings are often left until last, but Lauren Pearse from Rylo Interiors says that they should really be planned early on as they often need to be custom-made to fit your windows’ dimensions. To get you started on thinking about window coverings for your next renovation, Lauren has some advice to offer on what window coverings will suit different rooms in your home best.

Kitchens

For kitchens, Lauren suggests using a roman blind. Roman blinds are an attractive option that provide an opportunity to add some colour and texture. Roller blinds are also a good choice, versatile enough to suit most kitchen designs. For a cleaner effect, recess the blind into your architrave.

Bedrooms

In an Australian climate, leaving a window open at night is ideal to let the air in during the warmer months. Lighter-weight blinds like romans and rollers can hit the window frame when blown in by the breeze, waking you up. Lauren likes using shutters and curtains that enable you to let in the breeze without any unexpected bumps in the night.

Living Areas

Lauren is a big fan of using sheer curtains in main living areas. For inner-city areas, this is a particularly smart choice because homes are usually quite close to one another, meaning you want a window covering solution that lets light in but not your neighbours’ eyes. A sheer curtain has the upside of accenting or creating the illusion of high ceilings, letting in light, while still providing you with privacy.

ROLLER BLINDS

Great for heat and light protection, smooth operating Roller Blinds are are the classic roller blind and are available in a selection of weaves and textures. There is a stunning versatility to our fabric collection which will add glamour to any interior. Roller Blinds can complement Panel Glides and Roman Blinds to give a unified look to interiors.

Cassette Roller Blinds

Great for light protection, smooth operating Cassette Roller Blinds are available in a selection of Blockout fabrics and are perfect for media rooms and bedrooms.

The linked roller blind bracketing system is perfect for bi-fold and sliding doors and wide span windows, allowing multiple blinds to be linked together and neatly operated by either one or two chain control systems, thus reducing the gaps between blinds and dramatically improving both privacy and light.

Dual Bracket Roller Blinds

Dual Roller Blinds feature a dual bracketing system and optional 140mm Classic Style Fabric Pelmets. offering great slimline options.

The back blind rolls normally, while the front blind reverse rolls, with controls at opposing ends. You can further reduce the profile on your dual roller blinds with our Slimline Dual Bracket (82mm x 115mm). The standard dual bracket is 125mm x 125mm. The blinds come available on both 38mm and 45mm tube.

Ideally suited to our 140mm Classic Style Fabric Pelmets, we do not recommend 90mm pelmets to go over dual roller blinds. At this stage Slimline Dual Brackets cannot be used in conjunction with Linked brackets.
