Blind benefits

It turns out investing in some decent blinds not only makes the room less hot during Summer, it makes the room feel less cluttered.

Rather than having individual window blinds, I decided to go with wider ones and run them across several windows.

I picked out the dark green in the sofa fabric and found some made to measure black out blinds (Banlight Duo from Direct Blinds).

The door is fitted with some Fired Oak Fauxwood slatted blinds from Web-Blinds. Faux because the kids like to run their cars along them.




The ceiling shades (Mandy Bamboo from BBQ) tie in with the door blinds.

I've left one of the sail shades up over the settee area as it does reduce the glare from the ceiling.
