How do you choose the roller blind fabric?

The arrival of autumn is an excellent time to update the living room decoration, especially the way we decorate the windows. This is not only an aesthetic issue, but because this fall brings excellent colors and prints, it is ideal for a more modern style. This is also related to the choice of printed roller blinds suitable for the living room for the new climate, which will enable our windows to have better thermal insulation performance when facing the cold, which will also save us heating costs.

We all like decoration, so it may take hours to browse magazines, go shopping, feel the fabric and check the color chart, we must keep in mind what roller blind is suitable for your living room, this is a parameter that must be considered.

 

Feature

We put it before aesthetics, because many people put the aesthetics of the roller blinds above the function, and eventually return to the store to replace them, because for example, some translucent roller blinds can’t fully block the light, or can’t fully isolate the air-conditioning. Everything else depends on the function we want to give the roller blind.

We must ask ourselves some questions, such as:

 

 Is our living room facing an eye-catching place, or an empty place, so privacy is secondary?

The type of roller shutter, the opacity of the material, the color, etc. will depend on the answer.

Does our room receive direct sunlight at any time of the day?

If it faces south, the sun will shine all day in autumn and winter, so when facing the cold, it is interesting to choose roller blinds for the living room to warm the light, such as sunscreen roller blinds. Traditional fabrics or vertical roller blinds can adjust the incidence of light, because it will save us heat while protecting privacy.

 

If it faces east or west, the sun shines in the morning or afternoon, respectively. In the warm season, it would be fun to choose a roller blind to block the day (or even the whole day) light to keep the heat. In this sense, traditional blackout roller blinds may be suitable. If they are pulled throughout the day to block light, they can bring lasting colorful air to the room. In a colder room, the opposite is more appropriate. Let the light enter the room to be warm, and then block the windows to prevent heat loss.

organization

If we have decided on the function we want to have, then we can decide on the fabrics we want so that they can achieve that function as much as possible, and of course aesthetics. For example, flax is fresh and very beautiful in some environments, but its essence cannot provide a smooth and smooth appearance. Therefore, once worn, many people do not like it because it is too rough.

 

Depending on the use and environment, there are countless types of fabrics: so-called decorative fabrics with a large number of threads, including cotton, silk, satin, and brocade, while transparent fabrics include lace, printing, and burlap. Most of the opaque roller shutter materials include polyester, pvc, and glass fiber.

Cleaning the roller blind

Although it is the last one, this factor must be taken very seriously when buying roller blinds for the living room, especially when we measure them to make them perfect. Some people will buy beautiful roller blinds, which are very suitable, and then machine wash and shrink, or spend a lot of money on dry cleaning, because they are in a place that is easy to vacuum or easy to vacuum.

 

If you choose cotton or linen roller blinds, you must consider that they will shrink to 5% after washing and need to be ironed. For example, if you choose satin or silk, we must know that we will always have to wash them dry. Cleaning them with a dry cleaning machine is always the safest option.

 

If we choose light colors, we must keep in mind that although they attract less dust than dark ones, you will see more. The easiest roller blind to clean is the plain weave roller blind, which only needs to be wiped gently with a damp cloth.
