5 of the Best Blinds and Shutters for 2023

With 2023 in full swing, we have been keeping a close eye on the latest trends in interior design. From social media to glossy furniture fliers, there is no escape from the hot topics of trends. They can transform your home into the Scandinavian minimalist-chic corner that is quickly becoming the most fashionable layout for the home.

Despite the trends, blinds and shutters can bring a timeless and trend-defying element to your space and can even curve current economic issues.

Today, we are taking a look at the wide range of blinds and shutters that buck the trending hype by transforming your home into a functional and fashionable oasis for years to come.

Duette Blinds: The Energy-Efficient Choice

Saving money where it matters has been at the forefront of a lot of minds this year, whether you’re a business looking to freshen up a workspace and need to keep within budget or a homeowner looking to invest in your home – rising costs make it difficult to accomplish these ambitions.

Luckily, effective eco-blinds have made their way to the front of the market and offer thrifty property owners the chance to freshen up their space and decrease bills at the same time.

Duette Blinds have grown in popularity this year because of how energy efficient they can be. The structure of the blinds provides a pocket of air between the fabric and the window to create an effect similar to that of double-glazed windows, this air pocket provides extra insulation and can improve your heating expenditure – while also warming the environment with their inviting and stylish honeycomb shape.

Blackout Blinds: the best for any season

Like the Duette Blinds previously mentions, Blackout Blinds are a brilliant insulator as their additional layer of fabric and thickness ensure that a room stays as cool or as warm as needed.

Unsurprisingly, these popular blinds are always on trend, since they can come in a wide range of styles and colours and offer protection from the scorching sun in the summer and from the cold winds in the winter. They also make the perfect addition to any child’s bedroom due to their sleek design and ability to keep the sun out during long summer evenings, making bedtime a lot easier.

We have previously discussed the perfect blinds to accompany any child’s room, which you can read more about here.

Wooden Blinds: a traditional triumph

Some blinds truly are timeless, this is why Wooden Blinds and Shutters are always ahead of the curve when it comes to stylish interiors. Our Faux Wooden Blinds are easy to clean, versatile, cheaper than traditional wooden fittings, and can complement a number of colour palettes and designs in a room.

With this Scandinavian chic focus in mind, faux wooden blinds lead the charge by offering a more rural appearance from inside the home and are easily blended with warmer decoration and other similarly toned furniture. They enhance the warmth of a room by being completely adjustable, providing the perfect amount of light and privacy to any room.

Muted colours bring a calming atmosphere

Interior design magazines at the moment can contain very muted views on blinds and shutters, colours such as grey, beige, pale blue and soft pink are often used in combination with natural materials to diffuse light in a room and create a relaxing environment. This trend is very popular in the heart of the home – the living room.

To create a cosy, comfortable, and calming environment, it is not surprising that customers are turning to these muted accent colours for their busy, modern homes.

Clashing Patterns that complement each other

In contrast to the previous trend, a completely colour-clashing design is also climbing in popularity for blind and shutter design!

This trend involves incorporating bold, bright colours and patterns in window coverings that contrast and complement each other. It is about distancing oneself from the minimalist and ultra-modern appearance of muted colours and injecting some personality and liveliness into a space.

Window coverings can be a place to start when enhancing colour in a room, since they are easily changed and come in such a wide variety. Layering colour contrasting blinds with curtains or mixing patterns can create a dynamic, desirable scheme and a focal point in a room.

We offer a wide range of blinds in colours and patterns that can refresh your space, whether you’re aiming for a slick Scandinavia style or a maximalist modern look.
