Whether its bright and bold or a calming neutral, coloured blinds are on trend this year, just like every other year. You can pick out shades from your furnishings or add in a contrast for that extra colour pop.

Whatever you decide, here are the hottest colour trends right now to give you some inspiration:

Bold Colours

Thanks to Pantone’s Colours of the Year 2021, bright yellows and muted greys have been leading the charge in many interior spaces so far this year – with grey being incredibly flexible for pairing with other colours, and vibrant yellow bringing us the cheerfulness we all need! This perfect duo will instantly bring style to your home, and we have lots of yellow and/or grey blinds to choose from.

Grey and yellow blinds

Taking inspiration from the natural world, a whole spectrum of green is present in the trends for 2021. From olive and emerald, through to sage and khaki, A1 Blinds have so much choice when it comes to green blinds. Pair them with natural paints or contrasting soft furnishings, either way, green is a great addition to your home.

Dark blue has continued to be a popular choice since 2020 and is the ideal colour for dressing your windows. It is welcoming in the summer months but comforting in the colder months too, so incorporating these warmer colours into your home is a simple solution to year-round style.

Whites & Earthy Tones

Classic white blinds are consistently on our bestsellers lists and provide that timeless look that we’re all striving for, but this year we’re definitely seeing some newcomers to the ‘neutrals’ demand.

Colours such as beige, grey, sand and stone are perfect for adding a sense of comfort to the home, and they work brilliantly as a base from which to add brighter colours and textured accents to.

There are a wide variety of neutral tones to choose from across our range of blind styles including plain, colour block and also patterned options.

Patterned Blinds

Patterned blinds are a great way to add some character to your home. Style them with furniture in similar colours or tone them down by adding more neutral pieces – they’ll easily become a very versatile addition.

Be it big and bold or simple abstracts, our collection of patterned blinds has something for everyone. But which patterns are shaping the interior design trends for 2021?

Biophilic Designs

Having spent so much time indoors over the last 18 months, it’s only natural that people are looking to bring the outside in with nature-inspired décor.  This new trend comes in the form of natural colours, leafy prints and other elements that help to connect the inside with the outside.

2021 has seen a considerable uptake in biophilic patterns so far, and you can introduce these to your home easily thanks to our range of tropical, foliage and floral patterned blinds.

Green roller blinds

Large Retro Prints

Large-scale retro patterns are a nostalgic trend that continues to be popular year after year. Blending rich colours with bold patterns, the retro style brings an element of fun and personality into the home.

What Are Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are a popular style of blinds for windows and doors. With vertical blinds, you get several full-length vertical slats that hang from a top rail. When you want to pull them up, you can pull them along horizontally, or you can tilt the slats to allow natural light from your windows into your home. It’s why vertical blinds for windows give you superb lighting control.

You can also make your home more private by installing vertical blinds for windows. Vertical blinds can come in a range of privacy options, perfect for windows in sensitive areas of your home, like bedrooms and bathrooms. By shielding parts of your home from view, you can also make sure burglars and intruders don’t make yours a target.

Finally, vertical blinds are highly customisable. You can design them in a range of fabrics and give them a sense of personality with unique shades and patterns. And, with durable vertical blinds, you won’t have to worry about those colours fading in the sunlight. Your vertical blinds can protect your living room from UV rays, too, ensuring your furniture doesn’t meet the same fate.

Designing Vertical Blinds for Windows

So, how do you design the perfect vertical blinds for your windows? Firstly, it’s important to measure your windows and make the right allowances for the size of blinds you want. From there, you can opt to get perfect fit vertical blinds that cover more of the glazing in your window. As a result, you can get a better solar reduction in your home, ideal for when you want some sleep.

Because of this, they’ll feel like a natural part of your window, and they won’t let you down for decades. Additionally, the colours you select for your fabric blinds won’t fade for years to come.

Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors

Vertical Blinds for Sliding Glass Doors

Do vertical blinds work well for sliding glass doors? Sliding glass doors are brilliant on warm summer days, allowing light into your home and opening up to nature. However, sometimes sliding glass doors can cause some issues. For example, when the sun shines directly on them, an uncomfortable glare can emerge. Not only that, you might not feel like you have a lot of privacy.

However, rather than let go of your sliding glass doors, why not install vertical blinds? Vertical blinds for sliding glass doors are an ideal fit, covering the whole glass section and giving you more precise lighting control. In addition, you can pull and twist these blinds in any way that you choose to make your living space comfortably. And, when you close them, you can shut the world out fully.

By choosing vertical blinds from Easyfit, you can get the right fit for your sliding glass doors. Our vertical blinds come made-to-measure for any size of sliding glass doors, and you can style your blinds with unique shades and patterns. Not only that, you’ll get durable blinds that keep their looks and their performance for decades to come. You’ll make a great investment with Easyfit!

What are Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are a classic design for sliding glass doors. An incredibly popular option available in various fabrics, vertical blinds extend downward from the top of your doors. From there, you can pull them across to open up your glass doors, or you can tilt the blinds to let in as much light as you need. As a result, you get a precise level of control with these blinds.

Vertical blinds can also work well all year round. In the winter, when your sliding glass doors may be allowing more cold air into your home, your blinds could act as an additional layer of insulation. And, on hot summer days when the sun shines down intensely, our vertical blinds can reflect heat from your sliding glass doors away from your home. Because of this, these blinds will always keep you comfortable.

You can design your vertical blinds for sliding glass doors perfectly, too. At Easyfit, we make sure all of our vertical blinds are bespoke, meaning you can style them with unique shades and patterns to suit your sliding glass doors.

How Do Vertical Blinds Enhance Sliding Glass Doors?

Vertical blinds work well for sliding glass doors in particular.

Not only that, vertical blinds are light and easy to tilt and pull away. Because of this, they’re a fuss-free solution that doesn’t get in the way of you opening your doors.

Another benefit of our vertical blinds is that they improve insulation for your sliding glass doors. Glass can keep a lot of cold air away from your home, but the door can make your home more susceptible to chilly conditions in the winter. So our vertical blinds work almost like a cover for your door, making sure it doesn’t get too cold. Blinds can even improve the lifespan of your doors by reducing their exposure to extreme temperature.

Vertical blinds can also improve your home’s privacy. When installed for sliding glass doors, they can cover up the glazing sections to stop light coming into your home and to stop people looking inside it. As a result, you get the peace and privacy you need to enjoy your living space without any distraction. And, with Easyfit’s high-quality blinds, you’ll do it in comfort as well.

With several adjustable slats in the design, you can tilt and turn your blinds to only let the right amount of light into your home. When you fully close them, you can even achieve a blackout effect! As a result, you can decide the precise look and feel of your living space with our vertical blinds.

Uses for Vertical Blinds

You can use vertical blinds in several ways to enhance your home in Ponteland. One, for example, is for large glazed areas. If you have sliding or bifold doors, then installing vertical blinds can give you complete coverage over them. Not only that, the soft design ensures light can still come through these areas when you’d like to enjoy the sunshine.

Additionally, vertical blinds can improve privacy inside your Ponteland home. If you have a home office, a reading area or a bathroom, then vertical blinds can make sure nobody is able to look into the space. As a result, you can have the peace of mind to enjoy your space without distractions. Not only that, you’ll be able to focus without prying eyes looking in.

Vertical blinds can become a stunning feature in your home in their own right, as well. You can design your blinds around your home to blend in or to create a striking contrast. With so many colours and patterns in our range, you’ll be spoilt for choice! And, if you have a conservatory or extension, you can use vertical blinds to create more separation or to act as the doors!

Benefits of Vertical Blinds

Beloved Style

Vertical blinds are so popular in Gosforth for a reason. It’s because their sleek, stylish design has universal appeal and makes them suitable for a range of windows and doors. Not only that, the neat design makes them feel understated even while drawing attention. And, when you push them into the corner of the room, they don’t take away any light from the windows and doors in your home.

When you choose A1’s vertical blinds, you can choose a bespoke design for your Gosforth home. All of our blinds are fully customisable, and they’ll stand the test of time no matter how you design them.

Flexible Control

With vertical blinds, you decide how much light enters your Gosforth home. You’ll be able to control the light inside your living space precisely by flexibly tilting each slat in your doors to the right position. As a result, you’ll be able to reduce how much light enters your home on hot sunny days, and you can still close them fully to achieve a blackout effect that improves your home’s privacy.

Uses for Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds work well for several purposes in your Gosforth home. For example, vertical blinds have a flexible design which can come in large sizes, making them suitable for larger glazes areas. As a result, you can fit these blinds for sliding and bifold doors while being able to fully control the light from them. Your living space will always be comfortable.

Additionally, vertical blinds can give you the privacy you need. If you have a home office space or a bathroom you’d rather other people not see, you can tilt the blinds fully to stop anybody looking through.

While vertical blinds enhance windows and doors, they can be standout features in their own right as well. You can design your blinds to be bespoke to your home, meaning they could blend in seamlessly or create a striking contrast.

What Are The Best Electric Blinds?

What Are The Best Electric Blinds?

Which are the best electric blinds to choose for your home? With modern designs, you can start to get blinds in a wide range of designs that you don’t have to get up to use. Instead, you can control them by remote from the comfort of the couch, or you might not even have to press anything at all. Electric or motorised blinds are a revolutionary addition to any home.

One of the best things about electric blinds is that you don’t need to compromise to get motorised blinds. You can still get the same high-quality design – the only difference is that you won’t need to fiddle about with them manually. Instead, you can open, close or tilt them precisely via remote, meaning no folding or creasing of your blinds and better lighting control as well.

At A1 Blinds, we know the future is electric. So, with our best range of electric blinds yet, we can bring your home into the future. You can choose electric blinds in a wide range of styles for your home, meaning you never have to settle for a design that doesn’t suit you.

Best Electric Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are versatile, durable and offer great performance. Not only that, they look brilliant, and you can style them around your living space with a range of colour and pattern options.

One reason why roller designs make for some of the best electric blinds is their full coverage.

Best Electric Pleated Blinds

Another option for your home could be electric pleated blinds. While roller blinds are durable and provide complete coverage, pleated blinds offer more nuanced protection from the sun. Soft fabrics in the design reduce the amount of light entering your home, but they still allow for a warm natural glow. And, with electric pleated blinds, you can control just how much light gets through.

With several blind designs, you can spend a long time fiddling with them to get just the right amount of light. However, electric blinds are easy to operate, meaning you can get them into the sweet spot much more quickly. As a result, you can achieve more precise lighting control for years to come, helping you for several purposes, including watching a movie, reading a book, or taking a nap.

With pleated blinds, you’ll still get plenty of choice for the design as well. You can select from a wide range of fabrics, including hard-wearing designs and various textures like double-honeycomb. And, with electric pleated blinds, you can save space as well as time and effort. Pleated blinds tuck neatly away to feel like a natural, compact part of your living space.

Best Electric Venetian Blinds

You could even opt for electric Venetian blinds. A classic European design, Venetian blinds have slats that allow for precise lighting control and provide a timeless feel to your home. At A1, though, we’ve updated these authentic blinds with our advanced motorisation technology. As a result, you can now open, close and control our Venetian blinds from the comfort of a sofa or bed.

We’ve even made our wooden Venetian blinds fully electric for a stunning contrast between old and new. And, with our aluminium Venetian blinds, you can get highly durable, versatile, and efficient designs. One of the best features of electric blinds is that they don’t leave space for cold air to pass through the glass and into your home. Instead, you get complete insulation for your property.

At A1, you can install some of the best electric blinds on the market while spending less money, too. As a trusted, local blinds installer in the North East, we care about making sure all of our blinds are affordable. So, as our blinds are convenient for homeowners, we make our prices convenient too.

Wooden vs Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Wooden vs Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Should you choose wooden Venetian blinds or aluminium Venetian blinds for your home? Venetian blinds are a classic design for your property, but the material they’re made from can determine whether or not they perform well. Some older Venetian blinds can feel like they’re stuck in the past. You might not get a design that deals well with solar gain or heat retention, and it could cost more than it should too.

Wooden Venetian blinds might have a timeless look, but they can feel rather dated these days. Blinds like these can struggle after a few years, as wood isn’t that durable of a material. And, once the blinds begin to wear down, your living space could be more susceptible to glare and cold temperatures, and it could even help intruders target your home.

As a result, aluminium Venetian blinds are becoming more and more popular. With precious metal inside and innovative design techniques, your new blinds could last for decades, reduce glare, improve your insulation and cost up to a third less than wooden Venetian blinds. And, with A1 Blinds, homes in the North East can get these blinds made-to-measure at competitive prices.

Wooden vs Aluminium Venetian Blinds: Durability

When you install Venetian blinds, you want to make sure they last. However, when you decide to go with wooden blinds, they may lead to you needing to get new ones more quickly. Unfortunately, wood doesn’t do well with intense lighting. Harmful UV rays and glare can cause the timber in the blinds to stain, discolour and even weaken.

But aluminium Venetian blinds don’t struggle in any conditions. As a material, aluminium is highly durable, meaning it can perform for decades without wearing down in any way. Aluminium Venetian blinds are a versatile, adaptable design for your home as well. Wooden Venetian blinds suit classic homes, but aluminium Venetian blinds can perform all across your home, as well as in commercial buildings like shops, restaurants, and offices.

At A1 Blinds, we’ve also worked to make our aluminium Venetian blinds a market-leading design. We use a powder-coated aluminium finish, meaning even more strength than a standard design. Not only does that mean your new blinds will perform well for years to come, but you can also style them with total confidence. Bold colours won’t lose their shine for decades, and they won’t discolour on even the brightest days.

wooden vs aluminium venetian blinds

Wooden vs Aluminium Venetian Blinds: Efficiency

Another benefit of aluminium Venetian blinds is that they act as a durable layer of insulation. When you pull blinds down over your windows, doors or other glazed installations, you can reduce the heat transfer through the glass. Because of this, you could stop warm air from inside your home from escaping, and you can prevent cold air from coming in and replacing it.

While wooden Venetian blinds are solid and sturdy, meaning they’re quite good insulators, they can’t do it for very long. Eventually, once the wood inside the designs fades, you could see dents and cracks emerge, allowing heat to transfer through windows and doors anyway. Aluminium Venetian blinds, though, keep their shape and their insulation, meaning they can keep your home warm for plenty of years to come.

Additionally, A1’s aluminium Venetian blinds could cool your home. On hot summer days, when the sun is bearing down on you, glare and heat can come off the glazing, making your home feel uncomfortable. Aluminium can reflect heat, meaning your blinds will be able to cool your home in the summer. As a result, you’ll get comfort that lasts all year round with these designs.

aluminium venetian blinds

Wooden vs Aluminium Venetian Blinds: Cost

Wooden Venetian blinds have a timeless, authentic quality. However, adding that design to your home can be costly. Not only that, wooden Venetian blinds don’t offer a lot of insulation over time, meaning you could have to pay higher energy costs too. As a result, investing in these classic designs can stop you from making your home more cost-effective and more sustainable.

Aluminium Venetian blinds are a modern design built for modern-day homes. Aluminium is a sustainable, recyclable material, and these blinds improve your home’s energy usage. However, you won’t have to pay more money to save money too. Aluminium Venetian blinds can cost close to a third less than wooden Venetian blinds in many cases. Aluminium Venetian blinds, then, are almost a no-brainer!

And, with A1, installing aluminium Venetian blinds has never been as simple or straightforward. You can get expertly measured, perfectly designed and professionally installed blinds from a local company you can trust with us. With 35 years of experience, A1 knows what to do to enhance your home. Book a free consultation with us today to find out more!

Are Vertical Blinds Outdated?

Are Vertical Blinds Outdated?

At A1 blinds, we don’t think vertical blinds are going out of fashion. In fact, we feel like these classic designs are better than ever. Vertical blinds are one of the most popular styles ever, ideal for homes and businesses alike. However, because they’ve been around for so long, new designs have arrived, attempting to steal the thunder from vertical blinds.

But, thanks to A1, you can invest in modern vertical blinds for your home. With a wide range of superb colours and patterns to choose from, you can craft bespoke blinds for your property. Not only that, but you’ll still benefit from the timeless design of vertical blinds, which offers incredibly precise lighting control to give you the power to open or close your home off to nature.

Vertical blinds offer superb value for money, work well for both windows and doors, and can even warm up your home. And with a custom design, you’ll make your living space stand out even more. At A1 Blinds, our vertical blinds are still brilliant investments for homes in the North East, and we make getting them easier with our competitive prices and free design consultations.

Classic Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds have been around for a long time. However, that’s not just down to the fact they’re old designs. Vertical blinds have long-term staying power, as their combination of brilliant looks and fantastic functionality has left homeowners wanting more for decades. Designs like these have universal appeal, and they can work on a variety of designs.

Our vertical blinds could be ideal for windows, providing precise lighting control whenever it’s needed. Also, they can provide coverage for large doors, with bespoke sizes available to block out light from even the largest glass panels. You can also be sure your vertical blinds will be neat, with no creasing, twisting or folding for decades to come.

Because of this, vertical blinds from A1 might be classic designs, but you can be sure they won’t leave your home stuck in the past.

Are vertical blinds outdated

Stylish Vertical Blinds

With A1, you can also take total control over the design of your vertical blinds. Rather than choose the classic look that old designs have, you can update your vertical blinds with bold colours and patterns. The fabrics we use in our designs will also make sure the design you choose lasts, without fading or discolouration.

Our wide range of fabrics gives you the chance to style your blinds around your home. You could choose a stylish monochrome shade to add a sense of class or benefit from colourful patterns to bring a new lease of life to your windows or doors. Whenever you close your blinds, you’ll have a great design to look at, while natural light can pour into your home when you open them too.

Our vertical blinds won’t just make your home look good either – they can make your home feel good as well. You’ll add another layer of insulation to your windows and doors, meaning you can pull your blinds down in winter to stay warm without using your central heating. Because of this, you could save money on your energy bills for years to come.

Functional Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds have only stuck around because they work. A lot of that is down to the unique design. In vertical blinds, you get multiple narrow blinds that combine to create one system, much like Venetian blinds but turned by 90 degrees. As a result, each blind has a small space between that and the next one, which you can modify to achieve precise lighting control.

Vertical blinds give you the full range of lighting, providing perfect coverage from being wide-open to shut. When you do close them, you’ll have a made-to-measure fit, meaning you can get blackout blinds that give you total privacy. However, during the day, you can modify each part of the blinds’ position to let in just the right amount of light.

You can design your vertical blinds with the same level of control as well. With A1 Blinds, you’ll always get a perfect fit. We can visit your home and measure your window or door to ensure your blinds are made-to-measure for your property. Not only that, our free home consultation service covers design advice, meaning we can create brilliant blinds together.

Best Blinds for Patio Doors

Best Blinds for Patio Doors

What are the best blinds for patio doors? Well, depending on what you are looking for, the key to finding the right blinds for patio doors is ensuring that they work synchronously with your patio doors. This means that when you open, close and use your patio doors, you want you blinds to complement to room and door opening without them getting in the way.

What Should I Consider When Choosing Blinds for Patio Doors?

There are a few different blind styles that are very well suited to patio doors, but what is most important is considering a few important questions before making a decision.

The first is to consider how frequently you use your patio doors. Are you needing them for regular access or are they more for light control? This will help you make a decision on which blinds are best for your patio doors.

The second is what it is you are hoping to achieve with your blinds. Are you looking to control privacy? Heat loss? Are you wanting to control the way light enters your home a little better? These are all important considerations when it comes to choosing your blinds.

Best Blinds for Patio Doors for Easy Access

If you are looking for blinds for your patio doors that you frequently need to use, then we would suggest Perfect Fit blinds. Here at A1 Blinds, our incredible Perfect Fit blinds are tailor made to each door profile and are super easy to fit. They sit flush within the door frame which means that when you need to use the patio doors, there is no need to open and close the blinds for access, making their use very convenient.

Not only are they perfect for doors, but our Perfect Fit blinds can be tailor-made for windows too, meaning that if you are looking for blinds for the whole room, you can create matching Perfect Fit blinds which go on your patio doors and your windows.

Perfect Fit blinds are available in four different types. Aluminium Venetian, wooden Venetian, Pleated and Roller blinds. This means that you are not limited to choosing just one style just out of convenience. A huge range of different materials and colours and well allows you to really choose the most suit blind style and shape for your home.

Best Blinds for Patio Doors for Temperature Control

If you find that your main goal with your patio doors blinds is temperature control rather than easy access, there are some great options. While patio doors are great for opening up the home and filling your space with lots of light, often, they can be a key area where heat is lost. Poorly insulated patio doors can

Perfect Fits are still a great option here, but we would recommend choosing the Roller blind style over Venetian or vertical as this particular style is made up of unbroken fabric that will allow less cold air through openings that Venetian and vertical styles have. Roller blinds are also made of fabric and opting for thicker material can provide higher levels of insulation for your patio doors. The way that Perfect Fit sits flush in your door profile means that the minimum amount of cold air will be let in when compared to other styles.

Best Blinds for Patio Doors for Privacy
