Conservatory Blinds set to be cool this summer says Hillarys Blinds

Use it or lose it; is the clear advice from Hillarys Blinds on making the most of your conservatory; especially during when it heats up in summer and conversely cools down during the cooler autumn and winter months.

A conservatory is a fantastic addition to any home. Traditionally it is seen as a link between the house and the garden – a place to relax and enjoy balmy summer days. However, when temperatures become more extreme, it’s all too easy to turn your back on the conservatory, letting it become an expensive but abandoned, gloomy and depressing part of your home that can easily become a dumping ground for everything from laundry to bikes!

By adding blinds to your conservatory you can turn it into anything you want it to be – all year round. Cool and calm, contemporary and chic or warm and cosy, it’s incredible what the right conservatory blinds can bring to your glass room, from privacy and warmth to a totally new way of using your space. A home office, a warm and cosy lounge, an intimate dining room, even an unusual guest room – just use your imagination.

It needs to be warm and cosy when the sun doesn’t shine and cool and relaxing when it does. Choosing the right type of conservatory blinds is vital but it isn’t just about functionality. This is where you can get really creative, making sure your conservatory is not only just a great place to be, but also totally personalised. From bright, sun-filled spaces to cool, shady places, conservatories need individual attention to transform them into rooms you can really enjoy.

Neat pleated blinds are ideal for conservatory roofs as they are designed to fit awkward shapes perfectly. They can feature sun-reflective backings, keeping excess heat out in the summer and helping to stop warmth escaping in winter. However, when it comes to the sides, it really is a matter of personal taste and style. Choose from venetians, romans, verticals, pleated or rollers – each have their own unique qualities:

Versatile vertical blinds offer enormous control over how much light you filter into your conservatory. When fully drawn they offer privacy whilst softly blocking out the sun’s rays and can be neatly pulled to the side when not needed. They can be fitted easily, even to sloping windows.

Stylish Venetian blinds are a great way to achieve a clean, minimalist look. The range of shades and finishes available means you can be softly subtle or make a striking statement. Wooden or ‘aluwood’ Venetian blinds are great for warming up the look of your conservatory and bringing a little of the outdoors in.

Clean and unfussy, roller blinds are ideal when you want to make the most of your space. Different fabrics allow you to vary the amount of light let into the conservatory, with delicate translucent styles offering a modern alternative to net curtains.

Roman blinds bring a touch of sumptuous style to your conservatory, combining the luxurious feel of curtains with the simplicity of a blind. They also provide a stunning solution when it comes to privacy. If you use your conservatory at night, fully lined Romans will give a feeling of warmth and seclusion.

Neat pleated blinds are perfect for the roof of your conservatory, but are a good option for the sides too. A range of sun-reflective backings and fabrics with good insulation properties are available and the blinds are easily cleaned.

Perfect Fit If you’re after a sleek and contemporary look in your conservatory where the blinds fit flush to the window, allowing windows and doors to be opened with ease, opt for a pleated or venetian blind in a PerfectFit frame.

This system is perfect for sealed unit double glazing as the blinds fit seamlessly, with no need for drilling or screws, giving enhanced privacy as they ‘hug’ the window and cover any light gaps.

“The blinds won’t interfere with handles but will leave the sills clutter free.
“You’ll also be able to open your windows without having to pull up the blinds first which is very practical. ”Hillarys has a wide range of pleated blinds and 15 or 25mm aluminium venetians to choose from.
