At Cliden Construction, we offer a range of property renovations to modernise, expand, and streamline properties in Bexleyheath and the surrounding areas. As part of this process, we also offer full design assistance, ensuring our clients get the most out of our work – including choosing window dressings for your new rooflight, bi-fold doors, bathroom renovation, or other installations.
In this blog post, we outline considerations for practical, aesthetically pleasing window coverings. To view images of our work, please visit our gallery page.
This depends on your personal choice and budget. Firstly, consider which window dressings you currently use. Do you want to install complementary curtains or blinds? Or would you rather be more dramatic with your choice?
The morning sun can beautifully illuminate new property renovations, but sometimes toning down the harsh rays is essential. However, you don’t want to block out all the light. Vertical or Venetian blinds are perfect as they can be adapted to control the amount of light you’re most comfortable with.
Roman and roller blinds are also great choices for those seeking full or partial shade. However, over time, the material will fade and need to be replaced. And, quite annoyingly, flies and insects can become trapped and permanently stain the material.
Much like bathroom or kitchen renovations, window dressings should be considered a long-term investment, so you don’t want to replace them often. For longevity and practicality, your best options are vertical or aluminium Venetian blinds – wooden and PVC options may eventually fade and warp. Replacement slats are easily obtained as well.
Some consider vertical Venetian blinds too commercial, giving the appearance of an office rather than a welcoming, comfortable interior for your Bexleyheath home renovation. It’s a personal choice, no doubt. The horizontal option may suit you if you are looking for strength and reliability, with a sense of homely style.
Neutral colours will blend with any décor you introduce during property renovations and will certainly offer a good return on investment. Bolder colours may come and go as interior design trends alternate, which is worth considering.
As we’ve already stated, purchasing window dressings should be considered a long-term investment. You’ll want to buy materials that won’t require constant repair or replacement, but will benefit your everyday use of the space and encourage you to spend more time in the new addition to your Bexleyheath home.
