How to choose roller blinds

Most often, when choosing draperies, many people prefer classic models. However, roller blinds are becoming increasingly popular. This is a functional, laconic and stylish product. At the same time, roller blinds can come in a variety of textures and colors. This allows you to use them when decorating any interior.

But in order to make the right choice of curtains, you need to learn about all the nuances of the product.

Choosing roller blinds

Choosing curtains can sometimes be extremely difficult. The correct choice is influenced by many factors:

1. Method of attaching curtains.
2. Product size.
3. The room for which roller blinds are purchased.

Each of these points must be taken into account in order to purchase the most suitable curtain model.

Choosing a room

Roller blinds can be used to decorate any room, because they combine simplicity and sophistication.

Living room

Despite the fact that the product is very laconic, it will be appropriate in any design:

1. High tech.Roller blinds are the most suitable option for decorating a living room in this style. They fully correspond to the minimalist design of the room. Products in grey, black, white, eggshell and wet asphalt colors will look most advantageous.
2. Japanese style. This exotic design implies concise design and the use of natural materials. Bamboo curtains are suitable for a Japanese-style room.
3. Modern. An excellent option are bright “rolls” with an original print.
4. Classical. They will be a good addition to classic blackout curtains.

It is important! For the living room, you need to purchase roller blinds with day-night light transmission.

Bedroom

In a vacation spot, you should give preference to light-blocking products. This option can completely darken the room.

Bright flashy colors are inappropriate in the bedroom. For it you need to select curtains in pearl, green, sand shades.

Children's room

The disadvantage of classic textiles is its length. Restless inhabitants of a children's room often get tangled in the curtains, which can lead to curtain breakage and other unpleasant consequences.

Roller curtains do not have this drawback, so they will be an excellent option for a nursery. In addition, such products are treated with an antibacterial and antistatic composition.

Products in bright colors would be appropriate here: yellow, green, blue. A great option is prints with images of movie and cartoon characters. But you shouldn’t overload the room - it’s better if the textiles are the same color scheme as the wallpaper.

Kitchen

The roll system is the best option in the kitchen. It does not gather dust and is easy to care for. At the same time, it is not inferior to classic textiles in creating comfort.In addition, many models are impregnated with fire-resistant solutions, and this is a serious advantage of such curtains.

Choosing a base and color

1. When choosing a shade, you need to build on the overall color scheme of the interior.
2. To make roller blinds an accent in the interior, you should choose models lighter or darker than the color of the walls.
3. If the interior is decorated in bright colors, then models of contrasting colors are suitable. An interesting option would be to use two colors, if you place curtains of one shade at the edges and another in the center.
4. Recently, white color is often used in interior design. Models in bright, rich colors will look great in such a room. And if you choose other accessories to match the curtains, you can bring a touch of freshness to the room.
5. For a small room, you should choose models made from light, lightweight fabrics. This will visually expand the room. Vertical or horizontal stripes on textiles will also help with this.
6. For southern rooms, you should choose products in cool shades: blue, gray, purple.
7. Sand, yellow, beige, and peach can add a touch of warmth to the interior.
8. When choosing a base and fabric, it is worth considering the nuances of the room. Thus, bamboo and fabric are used to make curtains. Bamboo is an excellent natural, hypoallergenic material. But in a draft it will make noise.
9. Fabric models do not have this disadvantage. They are made from both natural and synthetic materials. Natural fabric with the addition of polyvinyl chloride is considered the most durable. Such products do not fade in the sun, are not afraid of humidity and provide maximum light resistance.

Mounting options

The system can be fixed in two ways:

1. No drilling.An excellent option for plastic windows, because in this case the integrity of the plastic is not compromised. The curtain bracket is secured with double-sided tape, after which the shaft and decorative decorations are installed in it.
2. With drilling. For fixation, self-tapping screws are used, with which the curtains are attached to the wall, ceiling or window frame.

How to choose the size of roller blinds?

Before choosing a product design, you should know its size. The dimensions of the system are affected by the location of fixation:

1. The window is located in a recess. In this case, the width and length of the curtains should be 10 cm larger than the size of the window opening.
2. The window is on the same plane as the walls. The curtain should be a short distance from the wall so that the window handle does not show through. The optimal width is 20 cm wider than the window.
3. When fixed to a window. The width of the glass and curtains should be the same.

Light transmittance of roller blinds

Based on light transmission, products are divided into several options:

1. Translucent. The product transmits light while scattering the bright rays of the sun. This option will be an excellent replacement for tulle.
2. Reflective. A layer of mother-of-pearl coating is applied to the surface of the textile, which reflects the rays of the sun. This model is an excellent option for rooms facing south.
3. Blackout. The densest model that completely darkens the room. It does not let in the sun's rays, which prevents the room from heating up.

How to choose the thickness of the canvas?

Roller blinds serve not only as a decorative element in the interior. Curtains also perform a sun protection function. Depending on the room, different requirements are put forward for this characteristic.

For the kitchen, it is advisable to purchase products made from light translucent fabric.Such models allow light to pass through, but hide the room from prying eyes.

For the bedroom and living room, you should give preference to thick fabrics, for example the BlackOut option.

For a child's room, it is better to purchase curtains with average light transmittance.

Roller blinds are an excellent option for decorating a room. Thanks to the variety of textures and colors, they will fit into any interior, making it stylish and modern.
