Advantages of day/night blinds in living room design
Day&Night blinds are the perfect solution for many rooms, but it is in the living room that we can exploit their full potential. They are not only beautiful, but also an extremely functional accessory that fits very well into modern and classic living room arrangements. Despite their huge popularity, these roller blinds continue to inspire admiration and are an elegant addition to the windows. They can successfully replace classic curtains when you get bored with the old interior design.
In addition, day-night blinds are perfect for rooms that you do not want to fully shade, but only want to reduce and diffuse the light coming in. This will make spending time in the living room even more pleasant, and you will no longer be disturbed by the sun's rays reflecting off the screen while you relax in front of the TV in the evening. As you can see, the day-night blinds in the living room are ideal.
When is it worth opting for day/night blinds in the living room?
Day-night window blinds provide privacy, which is particularly important in the room most often used for rest and relaxation, which is the living room. Owners of ground-floor flats are familiar with this problem, where the casual glances of passers-by disturb the peace of the household. With night blinds, this can be forgotten.
Thanks to the presence of transparent and shading strips, day-night blinds make it possible to freely regulate the amount of sunlight coming through the window and thus cool the room without having to completely black out. Owners of south- and west-facing windows, which receive the most light throughout the day and have a great impact on the temperature in the flat, will certainly appreciate this solution.
What to look out for when choosing day-night blinds for the living room?
Style and colour scheme
The day-night blind, like any design element, should harmonise with our sense of aesthetics and match the style and colour scheme of the living room. You can choose blinds that harmonise with the furniture and other decorations, or opt for a strong, contrasting accent to add energy and freshness to the room. Remember that roller blinds can be a decorative element that complements the entire décor with muted colours or, on the contrary, attracts the eye with an unusual pattern or a striking colour.
Are only light-coloured blinds suitable for the living room?
A popular myth about day-night blinds is the opinion that manufacturers only sell them in bright colours. This is not true! The choice of colours and patterns available on the market is huge. If you want to go a little wild with your interior design, go for colourful day-night blinds in the living room. Muted brown, sunny yellow or maybe bottle green? Don't be afraid to experiment!
Type of day&night blinds
Consider which type of roller blind will meet your needs. Do you need a free-hanging roller blind, a PVC cassette or maybe a mini? Each of these has its own unique characteristics and meets different needs. Or do you need remote-controlled roller blinds? If you do not yet know what type of roller blind you need, take a look at the article in which we explain everything you need to know about day-night blinds: Day-night blind - what is it? You will find out what types of roller blinds are available on the market and how they differ from one another.
Size and fit
Before you buy, remember to measure your windows carefully and fit your blinds to size. Day-night blinds are very often available on a made-to-measure basis to perfectly fit your living room. Carefully measure your windows according to the manufacturer's or retailer's recommendations to choose the right size blinds. Pay attention to how your chosen blind is mounted - on the window frame or directly to the wall? This makes a huge difference when you want to fit your window coverings to size.
Type and quality of material
Pay attention to the workmanship and durability of your day/night blinds to enjoy them for years to come. Take care of yourself and your loved ones by choosing fabrics which are safe for health. The best choice will be materials with hygienic certificates and meeting the world's requirements concerning the content of harmful chemical compounds. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certificate shows that the manufacturer has taken care not only of the high quality of the fabrics, but also of the safety of its customers.
Do voile curtains go with night blinds?
Day-night blinds in the living room work well with additional decoration, such as curtains. This combination can have several benefits. Firstly, curtains can act as a decorative feature, adding softness and lightness to the window and the entire living room space. They can also introduce a colour or patterned element to add variety to the look of the window.
Secondly, voile curtains can further enhance the privacy of a room. When the day-night blinds are fully extended and let the light through, curtains can provide a layer of additional cover to block visibility from the outside. However, it is worth remembering that day-night blinds themselves already provide light regulation and privacy, so it is not always necessary to additionally cover the window with curtains.
Be careful not to overdo it!
Moderation is key. When hanging curtains next to your day-night blinds, pay attention not only to the colours but also to the texture of the fabric. Both types of blinds should match each other closely. If you decide on coloured curtains or drapes, the day blinds should be neutral in colour: beige, white, grey. Consistency in colour temperature is also important. We should not mix warm beiges with cold greys.
Remember that it is the day-night blinds that will visually dominate with their clear horizontal stripes, so match them with the curtains!
Is it difficult to install a day-night blind in the living room?
The installation of a day-night roller blind does not differ much from the installation of other types of roller blinds. Both non-invasive roller blinds and those requiring minor interference with the wall structure and window frame are available on the market. Whenever you have doubts about whether you can handle the installation of window guards, you can get help from a specialist, but in our opinion, anyone is capable of hanging these roller blinds themselves.
