My new build home has PVC Windows. I love the energy efficiency but they
don’t work with my vintage furniture at all. How can I cover them without just
keeping the curtains closed all day?

For a lover of period style, PVC windows can jar with the rest of your design. But
don’t lose hope; classic shutters can hide the plastic frames and enhance the vintage
look of your overall scheme. Ensure the shutter frames, that hold the slats, cover the
depth of the PVC frame for a seamless look. Moreover, check that they open fully for
cleaning purposes. Shutters will also help keep your bedroom quieter, as they can
block up to 40% of outside noise. Dream bedroom.

I have a period window in my new wet room. I don’t want a modern-looking
window covering, but I do want some privacy.

Wood blinds can be styled to look super modern or wonderfully old fashioned; it’s
how you use them that counts. And best of all Luxaflex creates a Form Wood range
that brings the beauty of the look of wood but the durability of man-made materials.
This way you can use something stylistically on point but also fit for purpose. By
recessing the blind slightly into the frame, you also draw the eye to its period details.

We want a pretty, but not too girly, nursery for our new daughter. We want to
avoid childish pattered roller blinds or blackout as we already have very low
light levels.

When planning a bedroom that can grow with your child while retaining cosiness,
colour is key. You can avoid saccharine baby pinks by using pops of bright shades,
such as hot pink contrasted with a vintage floral. Luxaflex’s child safe Duette® blind will
soften daylight for a mid-afternoon nap without making it too dark. Folded structure
with an almost origami-feel makes it feel even more modern and will still be relevant
when she hits her teen years.

Our attic bedroom lacks character and also light. Any ideas?

Windows in attic rooms can often be quite small so the key here is to allow as much
light in as possible, whilst also offering great coverage for a good night’s sleep. If
your room is quite plain, window coverings can be a great place to add some
interest. The woven bands in these Twist Blinds bring variation in texture and tone.
This means you can keep the design relatively neutral without being boring.
Silhouette® Shades are also great for bedrooms as the vanes can be adjusted to let
in lots of light whilst still providing privacy. Ideal for a sneaky afternoon sojourn.
