It is very important to find blinds that will provide the best light control according to the internal dynamics of each room. A blind model that is very suitable for a certain room may be dysfunctional for another room. Each model can be carefully selected according to your sensitivity to light, the size of your space and your personal taste.

Choosing blinds for the bedroom

One of the factors affecting the quality of sleep is the light control of the room. The blind curtains selected for the bedroom should both mitigate the light coming from outside and complement your room as a decorative element. You can improve your sleep quality with white blind curtains or dark colour options among ready-made blind curtain options. 

For a good night's sleep, you can make your blind curtain selection by adapting it to your room decor, and you can create a better dark environment thanks to the thick blind material. By using wicker blinds or satin blinds from different material options, you both gain an aesthetic appearance and enrich your room with different touches.

Blind models under the tulle curtain, which can adapt to seasonal changes and you can change throughout the year with colour options, help to renew the bedroom atmosphere. Eye-catching colourful blind options facilitate your seasonal decoration changes and help you create a calm and peaceful space in your room.

A blind curtain not only provides light control, but also provides extra protection against both summer heat and winter cold with its insulation feature. This can help you save on energy costs. Durable blind solutions made of wood, aluminium or vinyl include suitable options for your windows of different sizes. You can discover trendy designs that can be in perfect harmony with various bedroom furniture and accessories.

Choosing blinds for the children's room

Colours and characters trigger an endless imagination in the world of children. For this reason, the blind curtain models preferred for the children's room should have features that reflect your child's individual tastes and interests. Various animal figures, fantastic patterns or characters from popular children's shows can be a source of inspiration for daily play and make it more fun to spend time in their rooms.

Blind products used for the children's room should not be limited to aesthetic features. It should also be functional in mitigating the intense sunlight that leaks in during the day and providing the dark environment your child needs for a comfortable sleep. Blackout options in blind curtain models help to maintain sleep patterns, especially in the summer months when daylight starts early in the day.

Safety is also a factor that should be prioritised for a child's room. Curtain fabrics should be made of non-flammable materials and the dyes used should be selected from non-toxic and harmless to health products. Moreover, blind curtains, which offer practical solutions for washing and cleaning, are also a practical option for parents.

For parents who care about the development and health of their children, blind models under the tulle curtain, which can be easily added under the tulle curtain, are also offered as an alternative. Thus, it is possible to give your child's room an elegant touch and increase sun control.

How should the blind curtain length be?

Determining the correct blind curtain length has a great impact on the aesthetics and functionality of the window. Optimal dimensions are important for controlling light and increasing energy efficiency. It should also be considered whether the length of the blind curtain is compatible with tulle curtains or other types of curtains.

Blinds also allow windows to appear larger or smaller. A long and floor-length blind can give your room a different dimension by making the ceiling look higher than it is. Shorter curtains can create a more cosy and intimate feel and make cleaning easier.

Another consideration is the intended use of the curtains. For example, if a blind is being used to block direct sunlight, it is usually chosen in a length that covers the bottom of the window by a few inches to ensure that the sun's rays are stopped before they reach the interior of the room.

The accuracy of the measurements is also critical because an incorrect measurement can affect the appearance and efficiency of the blinds. Therefore, when measuring, the cornice or curtain rods on which the curtain will be hung should be taken into account and the point of the wall or ceiling should be calculated.

Customised solutions are offered to customers when special sizes are required to meet different needs in different rooms. For example, the blinds needed for a bedroom are usually preferred in full coverage and room-specific sizes, as they are intended to provide privacy and a dark environment.

At what temperature to wash the blinds?

Blind curtain cleaning is of critical importance in terms of extending the life of the curtain and preserving its aesthetic appearance. The temperature at which the blinds are washed may vary depending on the fabric type, and for this reason, it is necessary to carefully read the instructions on the curtain label before washing. For the most part, it is recommended to wash blinds made of synthetic materials such as polyester at low temperatures (approx. 30°C) and in gentle washing programmes.

On the other hand, blinds made of more delicate materials, such as wicker blinds or satin blinds, may require a more specialised approach when washing your blind. Such materials are usually washed by hand in cold water and cleaned by avoiding abrasive chemicals. For curtains made from natural materials, it is important to avoid washing at extreme temperatures and drying at high temperatures to avoid possible shrinkage or distortion.

When cleaning curtains, they should be washed by avoiding excessive spinning speed and using detergents suitable for the type of fabric in order to preserve the fabric weight and texture. In order to keep the colours of white or light-toned white blind curtains without fading, it is useful to use stain remover and restorative products suitable for the fabric.

Especially in the case of curtains made of thick fabrics such as thick blinds, it is necessary to pay attention to the even distribution of the heavy fabric in the machine during the washing process and not to overload the machine. If, despite all the washing instructions, there is still uncertainty during the care of the blinds, it may be a good option to use professional dry cleaning services.

How to wash the blinds?

Blinds are important accessories that complement the aesthetics of your home and protect you from the harmful effects of the sun. Therefore, with the right washing methods, you can extend the life of your blinds and maintain their aesthetic appearance. It is recommended to always use cold water and avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach when washing the curtain in the machine. Special weaving types such as wicker blinds or satin blinds are materials that require delicate washing, so they should be treated with particular care and hand washing should be preferred as much as possible.

Thin blinds, such as blind models under tulle curtains, are susceptible to wear and tear during washing. When washing these types of curtains, check the label information to make sure they are washable. If it is a machine washable fabric type, it will be useful to put the curtain in a laundry bag to prevent damage. Washing your curtains on a low speed and short cycle helps to maintain the shape of the fabric fibres.

After washing, you should be careful when hanging your blinds. Ready-made blind curtain products are generally wrinkle resistant, but incorrect hanging methods can distort the shape of the curtains. Curtains made of heavier fabrics, such as garden blinds or coloured blinds designed for use in large spaces, can be straightened by their own weight, while lightweight fabrics should be laid out on a flat surface and dried.

In some cases, the answer to the question of how to wash blinds can be to get professional cleaning services. In particular, blind models that are large in size or made of high quality fabrics may require specialist cleaning methods. Dry cleaning gently removes dust and dirt accumulated on the surface of such curtains, while not wearing out the curtain and ensuring long-term use. In all cases, however, follow the curtain's washing instructions and, if in doubt, consult the manufacturer's recommendations.

Drying and ironing after washing are also important so that your curtains are fresh and renewed after washing. The washing instructions indicate the temperature at which the curtains should be ironed, so you can act accordingly. Fabrics such as thick types of blinds should not be dried in direct sunlight and should be dried in the shade if possible. Direct sunlight can cause discolouration of the fabric, which is especially undesirable for white blinds.

What should be considered when buying ready-made blinds?

Since a good choice of ready-made blinds protects your home from the harmful effects of natural light, you should consider the balance of functionality and aesthetics when making a purchasing decision. Blind curtain options that help reduce the temperature inside the room on sunny days also provide protection against the negative effects of UV rays.

When you consider its contribution to energy efficiency, thick blinds with insulation feature can be an efficient choice. These curtains, which increase the comfort level of your home by providing heat and sound insulation, can also contribute to the reduction of heating costs in winter. On the other hand, a spacious environment can be created by choosing blind models under lighter and airy tulle curtains in summer.

With the right product selection, you can also emphasise the colour palette and pattern harmony in your home. Offering many pattern, weaving and colour options to suit your taste, the models stand out with alternatives suitable for every decoration style. The wide range of products that you can find in sizes and patterns suitable for various rooms of your home is designed for everyone to find their own style.

Especially when you want to combine with sheer curtains, blind curtain types in different colours and textures allow you to overcome the indecision you may experience in this regard. Products designed with all details in mind aim to provide both functional and visual satisfaction throughout their lifetime, which is an important factor in the selection process.

Garden blind options should not be forgotten. These products are generally designed for outdoor use and are ideal for providing shade and comfort in gardens, balconies or terraces. Since they need to be long-lasting and resistant to harsh weather conditions, it is very important to consider the quality of the material when choosing this type of product. You can have both an aesthetic and functional interior by choosing from IKEA's wide range of blinds.
