These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What you want your blinds to do; simply block out the light, or also filter it?<\/li><li>Is your home overlooked, meaning you will need to consider blinds that allow you to enjoy the view whilst also being able to maintain your privacy?<\/li><li>How modern is the house, and is it well insulated with double-glazed windows; or is choosing thermally insulating blinds going to be vital to maintaining the temperature within the home?<\/li><li>Are there any challenges to contend with, such as a particularly dark room that doesn\u2019t get much sun and so that you\u2019ll want to ensure you don\u2019t darken further with a blind that takes up a lot of space when open, or perhaps a room that gets too bright\/hot during the day and that you need to take the edge off?<\/li><li>Are the windows standard, do they open inwards or outwards, do they have protruding handles, and do you want to keep things on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/geek-central\/should-blinds-rest-on-the-windowsill\/\">windowsills<\/a>?<\/li><li>What sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/ask-an-expert\/how-much-should-i-pay-for-blinds-in-the-uk\/\">budget<\/a> do you have to play with?<\/li><li>What sort of era or theme\/style does the house and your own preferences follow, and if you want to take a big picture approach, what\u2019s the sort of tone and mood of the surrounding area and other properties either side as well?<\/li><li>What sort of blinds do you actually like or dislike in terms of functions or appearance?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-all-of-the-blinds-in-a-home-match\">Should all of the blinds in a home match?<\/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\/2023\/01\/dark-wooden-venetian-blinds-on-staircase.jpg\" alt=\"Dark wooden venetian blinds on staircase\" class=\"wp-image-6855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dark-wooden-venetian-blinds-on-staircase.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dark-wooden-venetian-blinds-on-staircase-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dark-wooden-venetian-blinds-on-staircase-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dark-wooden-venetian-blinds-on-staircase-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No, and in many cases it would not be possible in practical terms to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/ask-an-expert\/should-all-blinds-in-a-house-match\/\">all blinds in the home of the same type and colour<\/a>. Most of us have a theme or style to an extent in each of our rooms, and sometimes, the general or wider theme and style (and even colour scheme) follows through every room of the home, but even so, having the same type and colour of blinds in every room isn\u2019t the norm nor as I say, usually practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, all of the blinds in any one given room would match, and possibly all of the blinds you have in hallways or open areas would match each other too. But from room to room, it\u2019s perfectly normal to have a different type and style\/colour of blind in each room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you\u2019d probably want waterproof blinds in the kitchen and bathroom, but may not want blinds of those same types or finishes in every room! You will also tend to have different priorities for how your blinds look and what they do in different rooms too; for instance, you may want blackout blinds in the bedroom but blinds that filter or diffuse the light in the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-choose-blinds-for-a-new-house-on-a-limited-budget\">How do you choose blinds for a new house on a limited budget?<\/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\/2023\/01\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-in-new-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"White PVC faux wood blinds in new kitchen\" class=\"wp-image-6857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-in-new-kitchen.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-in-new-kitchen-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-in-new-kitchen-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/white-pvc-faux-wood-blinds-in-new-kitchen-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying and\/or moving into a new home can be exciting, but also ridiculously stressful and man, are there a lot of things to pay for that you might have grossly underestimated or not even realised were a thing at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/interior-design\/how-do-i-choose-the-right-blinds\/\">choose blinds<\/a> for a new house if your budget is limited or you\u2019re trying to keep costs down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, set said budget, and ensure it is realistic. Run some numbers to determine things like the sort of costs of different types of blinds for different sizes of windows, and get a basic understanding of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/geek-central\/what-type-of-blinds-are-cheapest-to-buy\/\">hierarchy of window blinds prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don\u2019t assume that a certain blind or type of blind will be well above your paygrade; calculate a couple of hypothetical windows to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip as well; tempted as you may be to do things on the cheap, don\u2019t compromise on quality by going for readymade blinds and ruin the whole effect by ending up with blinds that don\u2019t fit and that have an unfinished appearance, and that won\u2019t last for long anyway. Don\u2019t compromise on function either; if you need say, a waterproof blind or a blackout blind, sure look for lower-cost options of that type, but don\u2019t decide that in a pinch you can do without that feature altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-choose-blinds-for-a-new-house-you-plan-to-rent-out\">How do you choose blinds for a new house you plan to rent out?<\/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\/2023\/01\/cream-vertical-blinds-in-modern-new-build-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"Cream vertical blinds in a modern new build living room\" class=\"wp-image-6859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cream-vertical-blinds-in-modern-new-build-living-room.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cream-vertical-blinds-in-modern-new-build-living-room-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cream-vertical-blinds-in-modern-new-build-living-room-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cream-vertical-blinds-in-modern-new-build-living-room-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re choosing blinds for a new house that you\u2019ve bought as a buy-to-let investment rather than to live in, your considerations when it comes to buying blinds will tend to be pretty different to those for a home you\u2019re planning to move into yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would caution against heading down the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/geek-central\/are-readymade-blinds-cheaper-than-made-to-measure\/\">readymade blinds route to keep costs down<\/a>; this will tend to be a false economy in the medium to longer term, and you might end up needing to replace all of the blinds every couple of years through no fault of your tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good quality made to measure blinds, on the other hand, will last over a decade in daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understandably though, you might want to look for blinds towards the lower end of the price scale unless you\u2019re buying and renting out a luxury property, with your options there being roller blinds, Venetian blinds, and vertical blinds respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to choose waterproof blinds for kitchens and bathrooms; and choose neutral colours that will work with your tenant\u2019s own tastes and\/or furniture, whatever type it is, albeit steer clear of bright whites, as these will quickly show up dirt and marks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First you need to think about practical considerations like what features you want from your blinds in certain rooms, your budget, any challenges of the home or area you might need to counteract or account for, and of course, the sort of style and finish you want to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,25,28],"tags":[1124,1103,1123],"class_list":["post-6835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-an-expert","category-geek-central","category-interior-design","tag-choosing-new-house-blinds","tag-how-do-you-choose-blinds-for-a-new-house","tag-new-house-blinds"],"yoast_head":"<title>How Do You Choose Window Blinds For A New House?
