In our time it is very easy to repair or update the design of the room. The main problem, however paradoxical, is the choice of suitable materials. With their modern diversity, it is difficult to dwell on any one option.
An example of this is the choice of blinds . If before a window could be closed from the bright sun or curious eyes only curtains, then today you need to choose between them and the widest range of blinds. By the way, among the latter, fabrics are very popular. Let's find out why.
Advantages of fabric blinds blinds
If plastic blinds are bought because of their practicality and versatility, then the main advantage of their counterparts from the fabric is the decorative function. So, the fabric blinds:
- can be vertical and horizontal, different colors, with a pattern, etc., so that they can differently control the light fluxes;
- create a special home comfort in the room;
- gently scatter light;
- are functional and give the chance to get a fabric of any sizes that is used for registration of non-standard windows;
- impregnated with a special dust-repellent substance;
- Do not burn out in the sun and protect from your ultraviolet light your furniture, floor covering, etc .;
- fairly simple to care for, do not require ironing.
Fabric blinds are suitable for installation on both plastic windows and wooden ones.
Types of fabric blinds
Under the fabric is most often meant vertical blinds on windows. They can differ in their design and, of course, design.
- The main difference is, first of all, the fabric of the blinds. Polyester (known to many as a tight jacquard) and fiberglass are the most common options. Also popular are more modern systems of fabric blinds, such as "day / night" (consisting of alternating light and dark slats) "dim-out" (translucent fabric that creates a pleasant partial shade in the room) and "black-out" (opaque fabric capable of completely dim your room). No less common is a pleated fabric (plisse), as well as photo-blinds (similar to wallpaper , in the expanded form, the blinds look like a colorful picture).
- Blinds differ in color design. Their lamellas can be monophonic - this is the most budgetary option. Textured and structured fabrics look more refined. They are best used to create accents in the room, rather than for the cumulative background.
- Horizontal fabric blinds are often called rolling shutters. They are a drum, on which a roll of cloth is wound up when lifting the blinds. This simple mechanism proved to be convenient in everyday life, but this "Roman blind" looks beautiful and elegant. If necessary, the fabric is easily removed and washed in the machine. One of the subspecies of such a system are cassette rolls having in the upper part a protective box or cassette.

Features of fabric blinds
First, when choosing them, you should take into account the style of the whole room: the color of furniture, the coating on the walls, the light design and much more. Ideally, this should be done by a professional designer, but if you are doing this yourself, consider some points.
For example, the choice of blinds should be based on the features of the opening mechanism of the window itself: it is important that it is convenient.
Also, focus on the room itself, where you are going to hang blinds. In the kitchen, for example, it is better to buy fabric blinds from fiberglass, which has water-repellent properties, and on the balcony - vertical fabric blinds from a monotonous jacquard.
