Best Blinds and Shutters for Living Rooms & Lounges
When looking for a new set of blinds, curtains or shutters, it’s important to see them as more than just a necessity. Our window furnishings can do more than just block out light and keep in warmth.
With a little imagination, shutters, curtains, blinds or a combination of these can have the potential to really bring your living room together. But there’s many other things to consider, such as the material and style you want, and what you need them for.
Whether you’re looking for a set of stylish shutters or some modern blinds to bring a sophisticated finish to your living room, Norwich Sunblinds is here to help.
Our experienced team has been helping people achieve their dream decor with the perfect set of blinds or shutters for years. Keep reading to see the different blinds and shutters we offer, and how they can complete your room.
Blinds for your living room or lounge
Blinds can bring so much more to your room than you might think. Here at Norwich Sunblinds, we offer a huge range of blinds in various materials, styles and colours. This includes stylish twists on the more conventional Roller blinds and Venetian blinds you’re probably used to.
Lounge Blinds
Louvolite, for example, offers a fabric treatment that can help alleviate hayfever by catching the pollen in the fabric before it gets into your home. Here you can see Louvolite’s Tropicana Apple Mojito fabric. This is a striking and ambitious choice that any plant lover will find particularly well-suited to their lounge.
The choice offered for other styles of lounge blinds is also impressive and includes just about every style, shade, pattern and texture you can imagine, from the subtle to the ornate to traditional and contemporary, ensuring blinds are suitable for any house whether it’s ultra-modern or an old period property.
The image on the left shows their Pebbles Chartreuse Tonic fabric option. This brings a sophisticated and iconic finish when paired with the right colour scheme.
Finally, you might consider their Linenweave Flax style for a more neutral, but still very stylish, finish to any living room. At Norwich Sunblinds, we offer and install a large range of Louvolite blinds. Contact us today to book your free home appointment.
What style of blind best suits your living room or lounge?
After you decide on the fabric, you then have to decide on the style of blind. All our blinds can be made to measure with materials that either complement your decorative scheme or add dramatic contrast and impact to your lounge.
If you’re having trouble deciding between Romans vs Rollers, or Venetians vs Verticals when it comes to the best blinds for you, come and have a look come and have a look at the examples we have in the showroom and chat with our knowledgeable staff.
Perfect Fit blinds (shown on the right) are a smart, sophisticated style of blind that clip directly into the frame surrounding your door or window. With no loose chords, no gaps and no drilling required, they’re a sleek, modern option perfect for any living room.
Vision blinds (as seen on the left) are another intriguing option. With alternate mesh and fabric panels – including metallic finishes, natural wood, woven effects and contemporary tones – you have complete control of light and privacy. You can continue to enjoy your view through the mesh panel while the sheer fabric blocks out the light.
We also offer motorised blinds and can install these for you without issue. The lack of chords makes them child safe and neater than non-motorised blinds. Motorised blinds can also keep your home safe too, as you can programme them to close and make it look like you’re at home, helping keep any would-be intruders at bay.
Curtains for your Living Room or Lounge
Before having your curtains installed in your lounge, you’ll want to make sure they suit your overall design plan. If you’re feeling a bit stuck, our experts can take you through our extensive sample books.
Here is an example of our Rashiekas Garden curtain fabric from Voyage. These give a delicate and calm feeling to any living room, giving you the perfect peace of mind while you read and relax.
Curtain poles can also really enhance the sophistication of the finished look of your room. We have a wide variety to choose from when ordering your made to measure curtains.
Getting the perfect match of curtain and curtain pole can help revitalise your lounge without changing any furniture.
You can always combine both blinds and curtains at your windows, giving you the opportunity to be creative with your combinations to enhance the interior design. On the other hand, you may consider having shutters and curtains instead.
Are shutters a good option for living rooms?
Shutters can bring a continental feel to a room and certainly add a focal point to a design scheme. They’re an elegant option to give your living room a more unique feel while being just as practical as curtains and blinds.
On top of that, shutters are an excellent option for reducing the amount of noise coming in from the outside. They’re also just as good as blinds and curtains for improving insulation and are easy to clean and maintain.
We offer a massive variety of paint and hinge colours and designs, but offer full customisation to suit your needs too
Choose from full height shutters or tier-on-tier blinds that are made up of segments that can be independently opened and shut, providing full control over the level of light in your lounge.
Shutters will look wonderful on their own or with curtains too, creating a grand feel to your living room or lounge.
