Blinds serve a multitude of purposes for the home or apartment, but with the many uses, styles and finishes available today, confusion reigns when home owners attempt to start choosing the right ones for their particular needs. Deciding whether to choose from outdoor or indoor blinds is the easy part, as that should be fairly obvious. However, beyond that, it gets harder as householders grapple with a myriad of options.

Outdoor Blinds Instantly Increase Living Space

Outdoor blinds quickly transform a patio, deck or barbeque area from a space that is only partially used to an outdoor room that is available all year round. After installation, the space is waterproof, the harsh sun is blocked out and a privacy screen is created that still accommodates views from the inside. For western facing windows, installing block-out blinds on the outside reflects the sun away from the openings and keeps the rooms cool and breezy.

Adaptit Group is a specialist at supplying and installing blinds with a range for the outdoors that will suit every need. They use high quality framing tracks and offer a variety of styles and materials. Their multi-stop pull-down blinds are extremely popular and look great installed around a patio. Heavy duty channel blinds are excellent for full day-time privacy and because they use local suppliers, everything is made to measure to suit the individual space.

Various Types of Indoor Blinds Suit Different Purposes

Moving to the inside of the dwelling, the choices become really difficult because there is so much now available. An excellent place to start is to decide on the main purpose for the blinds in each room. For example, a home with large picture windows looking onto a main road would need privacy as an essential, whereas rooms at the rear of the home, while still desiring privacy, may need breeze control as the major factor.

Making these choices first narrows down the field and makes it much easier to decide on the style of blind and the type of material best suited to the main use. With the minimalist style of interior decorating dominating the market, most home owners are using blinds as the only window covering in most rooms. Curtains have fallen out of favour and the beautiful Brisbane blinds now available have the elegance and style to dress a window to perfection.

Dozens of Colours, Fabrics and Finishes to Choose From

Roman blinds are great for smaller windows, timber slat blinds look fabulous in rooms with polished floors and both Venetians and shutters are the perfect complement to tiled floors. At Adaptit Group we offer dozens of choices in colours, fabrics and finishes that will blend perfectly with any existing internal colour scheme and furnishings.
