This depends on the challenges of the room\/window itself, factoring in that \u201coffice\u201d is a bit of a stretch for many. \u201cCorner of the lounge,\u201d \u201ckitchen table in front of the patio doors\u201d and \u201cfinally going to get my money\u2019s worth out of that conservatory\u201d being a more accurate description of their regular workspace for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenges that the right blind for a home office can tackle include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Screen glare (dimout or light filtering blinds being the solution).<\/li><li>Excessive Zoom usage (blackout blinds, or alternatively, unplugging the wireless hub and telling your boss there\u2019s been an internet outage being the solution).<\/li><li>Baltic winter temperatures\/window draughts (buying thermally insulating blackout blinds, or getting a second mortgage to pay your heating bills being the solution).<\/li><li>The room turning into an oven in summer\/full sun (with again, thermally insulating blackout blinds plus a cheap Argos fan being the most effective solution).<\/li><li>Nosy neighbours or an overlooked window threatening the future of your career in MI5\/ Big Insurance if your boss takes the integrity of their proprietary information seriously; privacy blinds\/adjustable slats and louvres such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/wooden-blinds\/real-wood\/\">real wood blinds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/wooden-blinds\/faux-wood\/\">faux wood blinds<\/a> to block overfamiliar passers-by but not the sun being the solution.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking these various challenges into account, the types of blinds that are in style in 2021 and so, that we\u2019ve seen the most demand for from buyers tend to be blinds that tackle these challenges. Obviously not every blinds buyer of 2021 bought for a home office; but the type of blinds that have proven popular this year does reflect, and is greatly influenced by, the last year\u2019s sudden growth in work from home-ing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So! What type of blinds are in style? 2021\u2019s favourites are listed below in popularity order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec2\">2. Roller Blinds are the most popular blinds in 2021 (and in general)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Grey roller blinds\" class=\"wp-image-1381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/grey-roller-blinds-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\">Roller blinds<\/a>. Ask the average Joe to name or think of a type of blind, and this is most people\u2019s go-to. Roller blinds are the most popular blinds in 2021, and have been for every year we\u2019ve been selling on the internet, which is actually longer than some of you of legal blinds-buying age (or rather, credit card-getting age) have been alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roller blinds have customisation options that can tackle most blinds challenges, they come in the widest range of patterns and styles, and like for like, are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/ask-an-expert\/how-much-do-wood-blinds-cost\/\">lowest cost blinds<\/a> as a rule too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, roller blinds in dimout and blackout fabrics really came into their own; for bedrooms to keep the sun out, for home office Zoom-ers, and for the furloughed contingent, to keep the afternoon sun from ruining your gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic patterned prints, fluid, natural watercolour effects, dramatic blooms, and both neutrals and rich, bold colours all scored well on the designs front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec3\">3. Vertical Blinds have undergone something of a resurgence in 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Vertical blinds\" class=\"wp-image-1383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vertical-blinds-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a blinds geek, the public\u2019s love\/hate relationship with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/vertical-blinds\">vertical blinds<\/a> over the last couple of decades is no little source of fascination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If ever a blind type suffered from an image problem or the effect of unfair stereotyping, verticals would certainly be it. For many people \u201cvertical blinds\u201d means office blinds, usually very old ones with fraying, fuzzy edges and often, a distinctive nicotine-yellow hue that they did not begin life with, and which indicates that they\u2019re possibly older than the average Galapagos tortoise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that descriptive resonates with you, it is probably enough to put you off verticals by association; and as such, despite their versatility, practicality, and longevity, verticals almost became extinct entirely around a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, thanks to a concerted effort on our part to develop a managed breeding programme and build a sustainable population of verticals in perpetuity for the future, vertical blinds are now cool, and you should buy some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember when Skoda used to be the last word in getting your kid bullied at school if you dropped them off in one, but now they\u2019re actually very well regarded and considerably easier on the eye than many higher-end makes of modern cars? This is where verticals are in blinds terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last few years verticals have become increasingly popular within homes as opposed to offices, as people have come to appreciate their value for large and wide windows, and to filter light without blocking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern vertical blinds are well worth a second look. A refashioned contemporary headrail style, choice of finishes and colours, and suitability for tall, wide, and other \u201cdifficult\u201d windows mean they\u2019re neither a one-trick office pony nor fugly anymore, thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, just as verticals really began to establish themselves in the wild in reasonable numbers, the pandemic happened. Home offices became a thing, and vertical blinds came full circle, once more being appreciated for their work ethic and window-obscuring-skills in a workplace setting, be that setting your home office or the corner of your lounge. See? Fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, we\u2019ve shifted a lot of verticals in 2021, is the short version of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec4\">4. Blackout blinds remain universally popular to enable sleep; both in bedrooms and at desks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Blackout blinds\" class=\"wp-image-1385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/blackout-blinds-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blackout-blinds\">Blackout blinds<\/a> are not a family or \u201cflavour\u201d of blinds per se; but they refer to blinds that block external light (and also, stop light from inside of the room bleeding out). Generally though when most people think of blackouts they think of roller blinds, and this is certainly the most popular type of blackout blind overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackout blinds remain a consistent top seller in 2021 as they\u2019re the go-to for many people\u2019s bedrooms, nurseries, and other rooms where sleep in either the main goal or at least, a significant side game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While blackout blinds remain most in demand for bedrooms and they\u2019re not the best-selling home office blind option, they have also have a reasonable amount of uptake from the work-from-home crowd over the last year too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They particularly suit people who do a lot of Zoom (and\/or daytime desk-based power napping and\/or worktime Netflix-ing), as they can be used to totally block external light and allow you to manage your personal image via more controllable lighting options that you can angle, switch on and off, and dim to suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re always popular in neutrals like white, grey, cream and so on, but rich, deep hues also scored well in 2021 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sec5\">5. Roman Blinds remain Peak Blinds Goals in 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Roman blinds\" class=\"wp-image-1387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/roman-blinds-150x76.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roman-blinds\">Roman blinds<\/a> are pretty much at the top of the pecking order when it comes to prestige window blinds; the apex predator of the blinds food chain, if you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman blinds are luxurious, stylish, and if you want them to, pretty much scream \u201cI got money now!\u201d or alternatively, whisper \u201cI do not need to brag about my wealth, for I am very classy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman blind designs that are popular in 2021 include sweeping, organic lines, and petite, ditsy florals rather than the larger, bolder floral prints we saw a lot of in 2019 and earlier. People also love block prints, and exotic, nature-inspired designs for Roman blinds in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular Roman blind colours this year include deep, earth tones, and vitally, the integration of textures within the fabric to provide depth and intrigue; such as rustic warps and wefts, the resurgence of plush, tactile, glamorous velvets, and other materials that virtually demand to be touched (but only after you\u2019ve washed your grubby paws, thank you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I interest you in a blind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re trying to make your home office more work-friendly or have a completely different reason for needing a new blind, if there\u2019s anything you want to know before you buy or if you\u2019re not sure if a certain type of blind will be a good pick, feel free to ask (without obligation).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s hot in blinds this year, and why?
