Summer is just around the corner, and we’re ready for long days of freedom and fun. This year is set to host a scorching Summer, and we want to help you prepare your home for the warmer months, so you can enjoy that fun-filled Summer with little worries! 

 

When it comes to the Summer our first thoughts are the BBQs in the garden with family and friends, and the sand between our toes on those stunning beach days. We often forget about the sleepless nights of tossing and turning because we’re too hot, The evenings where the sun's glare is stopping us from enjoying our fave Netflix series. But fear not, we have the inside scoop on how you can prepare your home for the warmer weather without having to spend a fortune.

 

Perfect Fit Blinds

 

Perfect Fit blinds are trending for all the right reasons. They’re flying out of our warehouse like hot cakes because of the many features that come with them. Perfect Fit Blinds have an abundance of benefits, like easy installation, meaning no drilling is needed. You just simply slide the frame together and pop it into your window. They are also child and pet friendly as they have no cords to get tangled in. 

 

If you, like many of us, play host to family gatherings and BBQs, then Perfect Fit blinds are a great option, due to them clipping directly into the door or window frame, they’re perfect for allowing the opening and closing of windows without any fuss, and won’t flap around in the wind when you have your windows or doors open. Perfect Fit Blinds insulate the windows, meaning the heat is kept out during the Summer and warm during the winter months.

 

Blackout Roller Blinds

 

A quality blackout roller blind is key to keeping your home cool during the summer months. As blackout roller blinds are an entire sheet of fabric across the window, these are highly effective in keeping the heat at bay in your home to ensure a sweat-free night's sleep. 

 

While blackout blinds are functional, they also come in a huge range of patterns and colours, meaning there is something for every decor choice and room in your home, like children's blackout roller blinds and blackout roller blinds for the bathroom.

 

Wooden Blinds

 

Wooden Blinds are our best-selling blinds of all time, they’re completely optimal, and you can control the amount of natural light coming through your windows at the full of a cord. With horizontal wooden or faux slats, you can even be sure to optimise your privacy by tilting or raising the slats to your preference.

 

While wooden blinds are ideal for keeping the light out when you want them to, they can also be used to allow light to flow through when needed. If you’re someone who likes privacy in your home while still keeping the space bright and fresh and being able to completely block out light when needed, then wooden blinds are the choice for you!

 

Day & Night Blinds

 

Like Wooden Blinds, Day & Night Blinds offer optimal light control. Day & Night blinds are a hybrid of both roller blinds and a voile, which overlap over one another in order to control light and privacy while also creating an effective thermal barrier. 


These window coverings are highly effective at keeping out the heat. They look fantastic in contemporary settings, creating a sleek, stylish look. They are a cross between the roller and Venetian blinds, offering an ideal middle ground.They’re highly versatile, perfect for adapting to suit your lighting needs. The fabric can be moved to overlap, creating a similar surface to roller blinds. This neat feature forms an effective thermal barrier, giving you a beautiful window covering to keep out.
