How Printed Window Blinds Combine Aesthetic Appeal with Practical Light Control

 Window Printed Blinds seem to be ubiquitous – you see them in your doctor’s office, your local supermarket, at work. It may not be obvious, but these shades have a long and rich history. They serve many practical purposes and can enhance your decor, while providing privacy. They’ve been around for thousands of years, so it is no surprise they are still such a vital part of home decor today.

Printed Blinds

Customizable with any digital or hand-drawn print, these window blinds are perfect for those wanting to add personality and character to their space. We work with a wide selection of artists, photographers and other suppliers to bring you high-quality prints that will make your blinds truly stand out.

Dimout fabrics 

The fabric used for these blinds can be dark or light, depending on your desired outcome. The dark fabrics like blackout, dim out the room completely, so they are ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and any other space that needs to be free of natural light. Dimout fabrics on the other hand are a good option for rooms where you want to reduce glare but not totally block out light – such as a living room or kitchen.

Light filtering fabrics 

Light filtering fabrics are a great choice for printing as they let some light through. They are a good medium for all kinds of prints and the textured surface can really help to elevate a simple print. PVC coated polyester screen fabrics such as Sigmatex 30 & Betascreen 20 are particularly good for this, with the textured surface highlighting any design and helping to enhance the printed image.

Fabric blinds

Fabric blinds are also very sturdy, and unlike aluminum, they won’t crease. The material can gently bend and return to its original shape, which makes them perfect for kids’ rooms and high-traffic areas where slats might be accidentally bent or pulled. They’re easy to clean too – simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or vacuum with the brush attachment.

Cellular shade fabric

For a more modern look, consider blinds made from a cellular shade fabric. These are designed to reduce the amount of glare on screens, such as TVs or computers, by absorbing sunlight and then diffusing it. They’re a great choice for busy family homes or office environments and are available in a variety of colours.

Conclusion

When choosing a print for your window Printed Blinds, remember that the image will be displayed on both sides of the fabric so choose something that you are happy with, whether it’s a portrait, landscape or still life. Our experts can advise you on what would look best based on your personal tastes.
