First Choice blinds give you greater control, more convenience and copious amounts of style. But with regular or motorised options now available, which should you choose for your home?

To help make life a little easier, we’ve put together a few benefits of both options for you, below:

Control

Unlike curtains, window blinds give you much greater control over the amount of light coming into your home. So, you can easily cut annoying glare without cutting out your room’s natural light completely.

Adjust your window blind to your specific needs, and you’ll have the perfect amount of privacy without having to have your blind completely closed.

Some of our customers find adjusting their blinds manually by chain or cord easier than adjusting when motorised. Achieving the exact stopping position you’d like can sometimes be tricky when using a remote control or app on your phone.

 

Style

They may have been around for centuries, but blinds never go out of style. The right blind really will make your room more cosy, more contemporary and possibly more colourful.
