Perth Window Blinds
Blinds will fit almost any home style, offering excellent light control and temperature regulation to keep you comfortable at home. The clean lines of blinds add sophistication to any window type, creating an elegant and polished look.
Blinds are available in various materials and forms, from timber and aluminium Venetian blinds to cloth Roman/Californian blinds and vertical blinds. Blinds are also available in different colourways, allowing you to custom match them to your existing home decoration. Window blinds are ideal for smaller windows and rooms and can be paired with curtains to create a cosy ambience.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are solid window coverings containing different sized louvres. They offer a traditional and classic Hamptons coastal look to any home. The louvres provide a fair amount of light distribution, and their distinctive design makes them a desirable and popular choice. Typically, neutral, natural colours like a wood or white finish are the most popular choice for Plantation shutters. Plantation shutters can be custom-ordered to fit an entire or half a window – depending on personal style aesthetic.
Advantages of Window Blinds
- Affordable Option – Blinds are generally more budget-friendly than shutters, making them accessible for most homes.
- Variety of Styles – Available in a wide range of colours, materials, and finishes to match any interior.
- Light Control – Adjustable slats allow precise control over the amount of light entering the room.
- Easy Installation – Quicker and simpler to install, especially for renters or short-term needs.
- Space-Saving Design – Slim profile takes up minimal space, ideal for smaller rooms or tight window recesses.
Advantages of Plantation Shutters
- Durability – Made from sturdy materials like timber or PVC, shutters are built to last for decades.
- Enhanced Insulation – Excellent at keeping heat in during winter and blocking it out in summer.
- Premium Aesthetic – Adds a timeless, high-end look that can increase home value.
- Low Maintenance – Easy to clean with a damp cloth and less prone to dust build-up than fabric blinds.
- Permanent Fixture – Custom-fitted and secured, shutters become a long-term part of the home’s structure.
