Benefits of Roller Blinds

Effective Design

Roller blinds have an effective design that covers the full aperture of windows and doors. As a result, you’ll have complete control of how much light can get into your home, and you’ll have a better thermal barrier to keep it warm. Our roller blinds can improve your home’s insulation and reduce uncomfortable solar gain. Because of this, it’ll be warm and comfortable every time you pull your blinds down.

Easy Operation

Additionally, A1’s roller blinds are easy to operate in your Ponteland home. You’ll be able to pull them down effortlessly, and they’ll continue to work smoothly for years to come. It’s because we manufacture all of our blinds with durable, hard-wearing fabrics that ensure the blinds keep their performance. Our blinds won’t even fold or crease for the next few decades!

Customisable Options

Another way A1’s roller blinds will be perfect for your Ponteland home is the design. It’s because, unlike some other companies, we offer our blinds fully bespoke for our customers. You’ll be able to pick almost every part of your design, from the colours and patterns to the size and shape. We can react to custom and unique orders as well, meaning short wait times for any customisable blinds!

Uses for Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are a versatile addition for homes in Ponteland. And, because they’re so versatile, you can use them in several ways. It’s what makes roller blinds a universally loved style for both homes and commercial projects throughout the North East. You can install roller blinds for many reasons, including added privacy in a bathroom or home office when you don’t want people seeing inside your property.

However, roller blinds can also have an aesthetic impact.

And, when you pull the blinds down, your guests will be able to see a beautiful, bespoke design on your windows or doors.

The Project

We were proud to be chosen to supply and install 482 roller blinds for a major new-build student accommodation scheme right in the heart of Newcastle city centre.

Best Blinds to Keep Your House Cool in Summer

Best Blinds to Keep Your House Cool in Summer

When the UK finally gets a stretch of warm weather, it’s brilliant — until your home turns into a sweaty, sleepless oven. If you’re searching for how to keep your house cool in hot weather (without running a fan 24/7), you’re not alone.

One of the most effective and energy-efficient ways to regulate indoor temperature is by choosing the right window blinds. In this guide, we’ll share the best blinds to keep your house cool in summer, with expert tips and links to products proven to beat the heat.



☀️ Why Blinds Matter in Hot Weather

In the UK, up to 30% of unwanted summer heat enters through your windows, according to government energy data. That’s a big deal — especially in homes with large windows or glass doors.

Blinds help reduce heat gain by blocking or reflecting sunlight before it warms up your interiors. But not all blinds are created equal. Here’s what to look for.



🧊 1. Thermal Blinds Work in Summer Too

Thermal blinds aren’t just for winter. The same insulating layer that keeps the cold out can also reflect heat away from your home in summer.

By reducing solar gain, thermal blinds can make a room feel several degrees cooler — perfect for bedrooms, loft conversions or sun traps.

Top tip: Choose lighter-coloured thermal blinds to reflect rather than absorb sunlight.



🌓 2. Vision Blinds Offer Flexibility & Style

Vision blinds combine sheer and opaque fabric stripes, letting you adjust how much light and heat enters your room throughout the day.

They’re especially effective in rooms where you still want light, but need to control glare and warmth — like kitchens, conservatories or home offices.



🪟 3. Venetian Blinds Let You Deflect Sunlight

Venetian blinds, particularly aluminium or faux wood, are ideal for regulating sunlight without completely blocking it. Simply tilt the slats to bounce the sun’s rays upward, reducing heat while maintaining brightness.

They’re also easy to clean and look great in modern homes.



😴 4. Keep Bedrooms Cool with Blackout Blinds

Getting to sleep in a hot room can be tough. Blackout blinds help by not only blocking early sunlight but also reducing heat build-up during the day — especially in south- or west-facing bedrooms.

Combine them with open windows in the evening for a cooler, more restful night.



🔧 5. Perfect Fit Blinds = Maximum Coverage

Perfect fit blinds offer edge-to-edge coverage inside the window frame — meaning less light leakage and less heat sneaking in. They’re ideal for doors, conservatories or awkwardly shaped windows.

The snug fit means better temperature control and a sleek, tidy finish.



💡 Bonus Tip: Combine Blinds with Smart Ventilation

For best results, open windows early in the morning or later in the evening to let in cooler air — and keep your blinds shut during the hottest parts of the day to block the heat.

Colour Your Space, Colour Your Mood: How a Splash of Colour Can Boost Your Happiness

Colour Your Space, Colour Your Mood: How a Splash of Colour Can Boost Your Happiness

Is your home lifting your mood, or dragging it down? We often think of colour as a style choice, but research shows it goes much deeper. Colour can impact everything from energy levels to emotional wellbeing — so if your interiors are looking a little grey (and so are your spirits), it might be time to refresh your space.

The Psychology of Colour: What the Research Says

Psychologists have long studied how colour affects mood and behaviour. According to a study published in Frontiers in Psychology, certain colours can evoke emotional responses based on cultural associations and personal experiences. While interpretations vary, some patterns are widely accepted:

  • Yellow is associated with happiness, warmth, and mental clarity. It’s an energising shade that works wonders in kitchens or creative spaces.
  • Blue is calming and stabilising, making it ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or anywhere you want to unwind.
  • Green represents nature, growth, and balance. It’s shown to reduce stress and promote a sense of harmony — great for lounges or home offices.
  • Red stimulates energy and passion. A little goes a long way — perfect for accents in dining rooms or hallways.
  • Purple has long been linked to creativity and imagination, making it a great feature colour for bedrooms or reading nooks.

Interior designers also back this up: “The colours we surround ourselves with can have a profound effect on how we feel,” says interiors expert Karen Haller, author of The Little Book of Colour.

Room-by-Room Colour Inspiration

Want to boost your home’s feel-good factor? Here’s how to bring colour into every corner of your home:

  • Bedroom – Choose muted tones like dusty blue, soft lavender or sage green to promote rest and relaxation. Roman or roller blinds in these shades can soften morning light and set a calm tone for your day.
  • Living Room – This is your social hub, so introduce warm, welcoming tones like ochre, terracotta, or moss green. Vertical blinds or curtains in textured fabrics can add depth while introducing colour.
  • Kitchen – Uplift your energy with fresh colours like lemon yellow, mint green or vibrant coral. Try a bold roller blind to add instant personality without a full renovation.
  • Bathroom – Create a calming, spa-like atmosphere with soft blues, greens, or gentle greys. These soothing tones help you unwind and bring a fresh, airy feel to smaller spaces. Moisture-resistant roller blinds in these hues offer both privacy and serenity while standing up to humidity.
  • Commercial Spaces – Colour isn’t just for the home. We can help you bring the same energy and mood-boosting benefits into your commercial setting too. Whether it’s calming tones for a clinic, uplifting colours for a classroom, or modern hues for an office, our made-to-measure blinds can enhance productivity, atmosphere, and brand personality in any workspace.

Decorating With Colour – Without the Overwhelm

You don’t need to redecorate your whole home to feel the benefits of colour. Start small:

  • Swap neutral blinds for colourful alternatives.
  • Add cushions, artwork or rugs in your chosen palette.
  • Try a statement blind in a bold pattern as a design feature.

The key is to choose colours that make you feel good — not just what’s trending.
