Which Blind Is Best for Each Room?
A quick guide to choosing the right blind for each room and need in a Cape Town home:
| Room / need | Best blind | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom or nursery | Blockout roller blinds | Full darkness for sleep and a cooler room in summer. |
| Living room (keep the view) | Sunscreen roller blinds (3–5%) | Cut glare and UV while keeping the view of the mountain or sea. |
| Bathroom, kitchen or coastal home | Aluminium or faux-wood venetians | Resist moisture and salt air; will not warp. |
| Sliding doors or wide windows | Vertical blinds | Draw neatly to the side; the most cost-effective for large spans. |
| High, hard-to-reach or load-shedding | Motorised blinds | Remote/app control; battery and solar motors keep working when the power is off. |
| Warm, decorative look | Roman or wooden blinds | Soft fabric folds or natural timber warmth for living areas. |
| Street-facing privacy with light | Venetian blinds | Tilt the slats for light at the top and privacy at eye level. |
