Quick question, which are better: mermaids or unicorns? That\u2019s right, you can\u2019t possibly make a logic-based choice between the two because they\u2019re both imaginary<\/s> awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second question, which are better: mermaid window blinds or unicorn window blinds? I know, harder<\/em>, right? What if you like both mermaids and unicorns, but only need one blind, or what if you want all the blinds in your room to match or something? I\u2019m assuming you\u2019re a grown-up in that case, because these are the type of concerns that only come with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. If you\u2019re trying to choose between mermaid window blinds and unicorn window blinds and your child is clamouring for both and\/or you know that offering them a choice rather than presenting said blinds as a done deal is going to result in a tiny meltdown, this blog post is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on, and I will make the case for both mermaid window blinds and unicorn window blinds, covering which is best and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of blinds are unicorn blinds\/mermaid blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mermaids<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both unicorn blinds and mermaid blinds are roller blinds, these being the type of blinds that roll up and down around a tube. The mermaids or unicorns respectively are printed onto the fabric of the blind itself in a repeating pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our own mermaid roller blinds<\/a> incorporate a colour scheme of predominantly blue, with grey and lilac; while our unicorn roller blinds<\/a> consist of pastel pinks, blues, and complementary accent colours on a beige base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both mermaid roller blinds and unicorn roller blinds are constructed from a thermally efficient blackout fabric, meaning that they will block virtually all external light if correctly fitted, and that they also help to insulate the window they\u2019re used on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, why choose either mermaid or unicorn window blinds? See, when I did dinosaur blinds, I could build a solid case for the educational value of such, whilst with both the unicorn and mermaid blinds, I\u2019m going to go with \u201cthey spark the imagination\u201d and try to drive you down that road instead. Buckle up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose mermaid window blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mermaids'<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s good about mermaid window blinds aside from the obvious \u201cit\u2019s mermaids, what\u2019s not to like?\u201d For my part, the fact that they put me in mind of Starbucks is hearty point in their favour, but this might not be of enormous interest to children; and frankly, if your kid has got the taste for coffee, what blinds to get them is probably the least of your worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mermaids are excellent swimmers, which comes in handy what with living in the sea and all; plus they can breathe underwater, which itself has a number or practical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to say that mermaids are also strong female role models, but I may actually be thinking about sirens there and also, there are presumably mermen as well; otherwise the species would surely have died out long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also apparently have magical and prophetic powers (this is according to Britannica, not Wikipedia, so you know it\u2019s legit). Another absolutely true fact is that Christopher Columbus reported seeing mermaids in the Caribbean; albeit these days it is widely accepted that he actually saw manatees. Now, I\u2019m not saying that there aren\u2019t morbidly obese mermaids, but if you mistook a manatee for an actual mermaid, I want to say that you were probably drunk at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mermaid window blinds embody all of the beauty and magic of the species as a whole; also, the pattern of our own mermaid blinds incorporates flowers too, which, the idea of pansies and tulips growing prolifically under the sea might actually be the most far-fetched aspect of the whole concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose unicorn window blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Unicorn<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For me, the key justification for unicorn blinds or rather, unicorns as a whole is that they can poke things with their horns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unicorns are also reputed to poop glitter (as anyone who is into crafting will know, however, pooping actual poop, even in the wrong place, would be less messy) and without meaning to be discourteous to mermaids in any way, unicorns do not smell like catch of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an awful lot of debate over whether or not unicorns can fly; I\u2019ve never seen one in flight so I\u2019m going with not, and I think that people claiming that unicorns can fly are in fact confusing them with Pegasus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to ensure that I don\u2019t steer you wrong about the whole \u201cunicorns can\u2019t fly\u201d thing, I just went and checked out My Little Pony; because I had it in my head that some unicorns could fly, being those with wings, due entirely to the cultural influence of My Little Pony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I have now ascertained that the My Little Pony with the horn (named Rarity) and the My Little Pony with the wings (Rainbow Dash) are not, in fact, the same pony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh! And you can ride unicorns? I mean, I assume. If they let you. This doesn\u2019t seem like it would be an option with mermaids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What age group are unicorn blinds suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tricky. I mean, I\u2019m 44 and one of my most prized possessions is a unicorn mug, and were a unicorn blind made in error in a size that just happened to fit one of my windows, I would give serious consideration to rehoming it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall though, the design of our unicorn blinds is largely aimed at younger children, being aged from whatever point they first learn of and get into the concept of unicorns up to around the age of 12; with the main age group that are likely to be mad keen for a unicorn blind probably being those from maybe five up to around tween\/tweenager age (does anyone outside of marketing circles use terminology like this? I seriously doubt it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What age group are mermaid blinds suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once more, if you want a mermaid blind and you\u2019re north of GCSE age, you go ahead and get yourself a mermaid blind because that is your absolute right as an adult human with your own cash to spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of children\u2019s age groups though, the design and pattern of our mermaid blinds will definitely have appeal for children of any age who like mermaids, but they\u2019re also slightly more muted and sophisticated in their design than our unicorn blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend to feel that children aged from perhaps 8 upwards right though to school-leaving age would be most likely to go for these, and so you\u2019re potentially going to get more mileage out of mermaid blinds because they won\u2019t look out of place in, or too young for, a teenager\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I really do think that mermaid blinds would work in a bathroom too, particularly the blue-spectrum almost art deco-style mermaid roller blinds we offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which are best, unicorn window blinds or mermaid window blinds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a really simple answer to this, and that is \u201cwhichever your child prefers.\u201d If you\u2019re not sure for whatever reason, I would suggest that unicorn blinds are the better choice for children at the lower end of the age spectrum, while mermaid blinds are better for those at the higher end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is purely my personal opinion though, and there is no right or wrong answer; as long as you buy one or the other, I will be happy, and my job here is justified to my bosses<\/s> done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
