THE PERFECT FIT
Too bright or too dark? Too hot or too cold? It’s easy to feel like Goldilocks when you’re trying to find a window dressing that’s just right. Rest assured, Hillarys has a stylish solution to suit every room…
BACK IN CONTROL
During the warmer months our homes can be flooded with sunlight creating too much heat, while in winter heat loss is an expensive issue, so finding the right window dressing is key to achieving the balance between style and comfort.
A thermal lining is a smart, year-round solution as it helps to protect against overheating in the summer and heat loss in the winter without it affecting your aesthetic.
Layering blinds is another great idea from Hillarys. Use a Roller blind as a base to help control and diffuse light levels during the day (this will also help to protect your furnishings against sun damage), then pair with a Roman blind with a blackout lining for a good night’s sleep.
Voiles meanwhile are a gentle way to diffuse the light whilst keeping plenty of fresh brightness within a space, so you can still enjoy the sun without it becoming a nuisance.
EMBRACE THE NEW
Shutters are a hot interiors trend right now. Superstylish and chic with a timeless look, shutters are also naturally insulating with flexibility to control light and maintain an ambient temperature. On warmer days, you can keep your windows open and tilt the louvres to let air circulate whilst filtering the sunlight and maintaining privacy – a perfect summer solution that can help to control noise too.
Hemp curtains are a smart solution when it comes to temperature regulation, as hemp has naturally thermodynamic properties that keeps your room cool when it’s hot, and warm during colder months. This clever material is environmentally friendly, soft and tactile, making it a beautiful and practical option all year round.
Other hi-tech solutions at Hillarys include solar-reflective pleated blinds, designed specifically for glass extensions and conservatories, alongside roof blinds that come with a motorised option, so you really can make the most of these extra spaces in your home.
