If you are looking for blinds or awnings in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire then what are your options? Lets take a look and see if we can help you through the maze.

You possibly know which blinds you want in your home, but it is always worth asking for advice. Not all blinds are best in certain circumstances. For example, I would not put wooden venetains in a bathroom because the wood is likely to warp.

Vertical blinds are the most popular because they offer the most flexibility and control options. You can move the louvres so that people can’t see in from certain directions and yet light can still come into your room.

Rollers are common because they are very simple to use, but you have no light control options. Plain colours with straight bottoms are in fashion at the moment.

If you are looking for something a little more upmarket and classy then wooden venetians are the way to go. They offer good control of light and give a room a warm feel. They are now available in cut down options which makes the price much more realistic. Beware of putting them in kitchens and bathrooms though because wood will warp. It is a natural product and this can’t be helped.

When it comes to buying blinds by the way, you basically have three options. You can buy them online and fit yourself, but without the benefit of being able to choose properly or seek any advice. You can buy a mass produced poorer quality product that you fit and cut down yourself, or you go to a professional made to measure blind supplier like Yager Blinds or Blind Inspirations.

Buying blinds online these days can be risky, as many companies have been set up out of a spare room to cash in. They can be poor quality products because you don’t get to see any samples before you buy. You also will have to fit the blinds yourself.

We can recommend the following suppliers as they offer a complete service and pass on the savings they make by not renting shops. Blind Inspirations cover all of Hertfordshire, and Yager Blinds cover Milton Keynes and most of Buckinghamshire. We personally have dealt with both companies and were delighted.
