Freshen up your home with new curtains and blinds

Not only are they a great decorative touch they also help to give you privacy and can even help with reducing heat loss.

Curtains or blinds, blinds or curtains – that is the question! Curtains are hugely popular and provide a real softness to a room. In a bedroom, floating, linen curtains fall beautifully and are classic and timeless. When fully lined, they are also great in winter to help keep the heat in.

Blinds are fantastic and easy, and provide a much cleaner, contemporary feel with semi or full block out options available. They come in a range of different colours and fabrics, as well as the timber slatted blinds option.

Ensure you have a solid fixing when drilling screws into your wall to support your blinds or rails.

You can create your own curtain rails by purchasing from Mitre 10 lengths of dowelling and brackets.
