• Primary Protection: Install Roman blinds closest to the window for primary protection against rain and wind. These blinds are easy to operate and control light and air effectively.
• Added Insulation: Hang curtains over the blinds to add an extra layer of insulation, keeping your home warm and cosy. The curtains also add softness and a decorative element to your space.
• Creating a Seamless Look: Match or coordinate the colours and patterns of your curtains and blinds. Use complementary textures to enhance the overall aesthetic and create a harmonious design.
