How to do Japanese style with Redditch blinds

We may be based in Redditch, but we also look further afield to offer our customers the broadest option as well as being influenced by this glorious county. The Japanese design of blinds and curtains is absolutely fine. Here are some ideas for your house, ranging from cherry blossom fabrics to Shoji panel blinds.

1. Be inspired by Japanese cherry blossom

In Japan, Springtime conjures up memories of trees flooded with pink cherry flowers (sakura in Japanese). While loving their elegance, family and friends enjoy picnics together. There is also a Japanese term for cherry blossom observation, hanami, which translates as ‘viewing flowers’. You too will enjoy seeing a cherry blossom with blinds made of Louvolite fabric. New for 2019, cherry blossom comes in a variety of colours from red and yellow to a more monochrome colour palette in the fabric designs of Louvolite. For panel blinds, a great match, roller blinds or Roman blinds, these beautiful fabrics will work well.

Visit one of our Redditch Showrooms to see these striking designs for yourself, or book a home appointment. All the measuring, making and fitting of your blinds will be handled by Redditch blinds.

5 ways to keep your home warm in winter from Redditch blinds

1. Made to measure blinds

Whatever your choice of blinds, to help insulate your house, it is important that they suit well. Made to measure blinds are designed to fit your windows and are more effective than shelf blinds, which are one-size-fits-all, to keep out draughts.

Even a simple well-fitting blind will help minimise heat loss; roller blinds, for example, prevent 21% of your rooms from escaping heat. With blinds designed to measure, you have more options. To help keep your home warm in winter, for instance, you can opt for thermal blinds.

At Redditch blinds, in our Attleborough workshop, your blinds will be made to your exact specifications. When we measure up and show you fabric samples, it all starts with a home appointment.

2. Curtains

We do blinds of all kinds and curtains at Redditch Blinds, too! As the nights get colder, there is nothing like pulling the curtains to make you feel cosy and cosy. Curtains insulate well and on winter nights, they can certainly help keep the draughts out. However, whatever the time of year, curtains work, adding a chic touch to any home decor.

Curtains to look more traditional and may therefore appeal more than modern style blinds to certain individuals. The look, of course, very much depends on your fabric preference. At Redditch Blinds, we partner with leading manufacturers to offer you a wide range of high-quality fabrics, including Clarke & Clarke, Reputation, ILIV and Voyage. In our Redditch Showrooms or during a home appointment, you can view our collection of gorgeous designs.

3. Roman blinds

Roman blinds add an elegant touch to a room and function in living rooms and bedrooms especially well. Made from furniture and curtain fabric, with Redditch blinds, you have a wide range of designs and colours. In white, brown or chrome, you can choose from chain controlled mechanisms.

Try combining Roman blinds with curtains to double the comfort.

Not sure if your home will match the Roman blinds? During a home consultation, a Redditch Blindsexpert may advise. We do all the measuring and fitting of your blinds and curtains, leaving you free with a cup of tea to put your feet up! What’s more, a five-year warranty comes with all our goods.

4. Colours

Some colours will make us feel warmer than others, there is no doubt. A space is lit up by bright colours, including red, yellow and orange. Dream also of burnished russet and copper autumn leaves. Whereas deep tones like grey, brown and purple can generate a soothing feeling of luxury. Not sure about which colour to go for? The team at Redditch Blinds will help you get creative at home with paint. To find out more, send us a call on 01603 334085 or schedule a home appointment.

Layering clothes is a must if in winter you want to keep warm. It can be said the same for our houses. You can create a cosy haven by mixing various fabrics and textures in your home décor. In a textured pattern or curtains in a rich velvet type fabric, try blinds.

We also make soft furniture here at Redditch blinds, so you can create the full look of your winter home from the curtains to the cushions.

Motorized blinds also have important protection and safety advantages. You can programme your blinds (or curtains) to close at night automatically to look as though you are at home when you are out or away on holiday in fact. Motorized blinds are secure for kids and pets without wires, hooks, cords or strings, giving you peace of mind. Visit our Redditch showrooms to get the lowdown on this easy-to-use tech. Our professional staff will explain anything.

Bold designs, ditzy prints and neutrals are often common when it comes to fabrics for blinds. We are not related to any supplier as an independent business and can offer you a wide range of fabrics to choose from to suit your personal style. We will find the perfect fabric for you, whether your home is a country cottage, traditional in style or cool contemporary.

We have it all at Redditch Blinds, from retro floral designs to sleek stripes and contemporary prints. It all begins with a visit to one of our showrooms in Redditch or a home appointment during which we will show you examples of fabrics and discuss what will fit for your home.

Shutters are becoming more and more sought after. Our Plantation Shutters are made of slatted or solid wood to measure, and some can be custom painted to suit your décor with Dulux or Farrow and Ball paints, creating a full look for your interior. What’s more, if you match the paint you pick for the shutters closely with the window paintwork, the shutters will appear seamless.

Shutters are simple to use and simply open when you want privacy, to let the light in and close. With Redditch blinds, when you can open the top half of the window independently of the rest, you can select full height shutters or a tier at the level of the tier. Shutters not only produce a luxurious appearance, but they are long-lasting, reducing noise, insulating and remarkably low maintenance.

This season, bringing ‘the outside in’ is a big trend. With many of us spending more time at home, investing in house plants has been a must for some. Whether real or fake, they brighten up the context of a video call and add a sense of well-being. What’s more, greenery is a welcome addition to our interior decor for the darker evenings.
