Window furnishings are an essential addition to any home – a statement in style, an investment in security and a crucial saving in terms of energy costs. Looking to give your windows a designer touch? Here’s what you need to know.

Shutters

Shutters aren’t just practical – they’re a great way to add style and security to your home. Easy to manipulate and even easier to clean, they come in a range of finishes and materials. Opt for a timeless white for a holiday feel or colour-match with your home’s interiors.

Here’s a tip: wide-blade shutters work well in a small room, visually uncluttering the space and letting maximum daylight in. And if you’re tight on budget, just do up the front façade.


Timber Venetians

Timber Venetians are a popular style of blinds due to their versatility. A simple, stylish home staple, they lend themselves to all sorts of situations – formal or casual – and bring a natural and understated elegance to any room. The soft timber accents add warmth to bedrooms and living spaces but look just as at home in the laundry or kitchen.


Roller Blinds

For a more cost-effective option, look to roller blinds. Not only do they suit both classic and modern styling, they bring a range of light-filtering benefits to the table. Mix and match with single and double styles for maximum control over the amount of light and sun entering your home. Or why not invest in motorised blinds for intelligent temperature control – you’ll appreciate it in the summer, we promise!


Curtains

In need of a quick fix? We’ve got a solution that’s simple to install and easy to control – curtains. Creating a soft, flowing effect that completely transforms your home, adding your own stylistic inflections to the mix is a breeze with an array of fabrics and patterns to choose from. If you have a home theatre, you’ll appreciate the fact that they block out light, cold and absorb sound to create the perfect atmosphere inside and out.

Curtains by our window furnishing partner, Lovelight Blinds are made to order using high-quality, globally-sourced fabrics that will stand the test of time.


Automation

Unlock the full potential of motorised blinds with a touch of a button. The potential is endless – your whole house can be synced to a single remote to open and close your blinds as you please. The ease and convenience of automation is only elevated by the additional security factor. Even whilst out, your blinds can adjust on their own to make your home appear occupied and less prone to theft.


Design Tip

Feel free to mix and match window treatments throughout the house. Dress them up with elegant sheers, contemporary blinds or plantation shutters for timeless beauty. But don’t get too carried away! Be sure to keep window treatments within the rooms themselves consistent.
