a stylish cover-up
DRESSING WINDOWS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE AND CHIC AFFAIR – AND IT WILL BE WITH THE HELP OF THE EXPERTS AT HILLARYS
We all know that getting the right window dressings can make a world of difference to how a space looks. But while style is of the utmost importance, it also pays to consider what other issues your room is dealing with. Is your bedroom not dark enough at night or do too many passers-by peer into the living room? Annoying, right? Whatever the problem, there is a practical – and pretty – solution from Hillarys.
Temperature control is definitely an issue that can easily be remedied with the right blinds, curtains and shutters. If a room is too cold in winter, a Hillarys Thermashade™ blind will help as it has a unique construction that traps air, retaining the heat in the room, whilst in summer these pleated Thermashade™ blinds will reflect the sun’s rays back out of the window, keeping things cool.
Could shutters be your thing? They’re excellent at blocking out chilly draughts but are also brilliant at damping out noise – great in summer when everyone is out in the garden late into the evening.
Cafe-style shutters are a smart choice for two reasons. ‘They protect your privacy while also letting in lots of light as they cover only half of your window,’ says Yvonne Keal, product manager at Hillarys. Hillarys’ Trilite blinds offer similar flexibility – simply cover the bottom half of the window and natural light will be free to flow through the top.
Working from home is now the norm and glare on your screen is a real issue, so too much light can be problematic. Voiles will allow natural light through but without the glare. And if you’re a city slicker living in a built-up area with light pollution or you’re simply bothered by an early summer sunrise, then blackout linings are your friend. Hillarys has a plethora of blackout roller blinds and you can also get blackout linings added to Roman blinds and curtains, which will prevent light from penetrating the fabric. Problem solved.
