Another good choice would be roller blinds. Roller blinds are a staple in the blinds industry and complement many types of rooms. They are available in many colours and bring a simple look to a room. Personalise your blinds with a print of your child’s favourite movie or book hero, or get the family pet printed on the blind – the possibilities are endless. Roller blinds let your children be creative in their room and turn it into a room they enjoy being in. If your child is into dinosaurs but also a football fan, why not customise your blinds to have one row of dinosaurs and the other row of their favourite football team? Roller blinds are a popular design and are easy to install and operate. Roller blinds are good as they are child safe when installed properly. The privacy with roller blinds is a feature as they block out the outside world from seeing into your room. It protects your children from outsiders looking in, giving your family the privacy and comfort you desire. As an added bonus, roller blinds are also one of the easiest blinds to clean.

Roman blinds are a premium and appealing option for children’s rooms that give a more mature look. The rich history of roman blinds ensures a classic look that will last for years. Their soft surface makes them stylish and soft to touch. They are also easy to personalise to your taste, coming in patterns and colours to match any room. Roman blinds are still very easy to use, especially when accredited with the BBSA and the ‘Make it safe’ scheme. Privacy is also great because you can control how much light enters the room. These features allow Roman blinds to be child safe and ideal for children’s rooms. Roman blinds are easily accessible and best when manufactured by a local specialist.

When looking at blinds for kids, ensure they are safe. A good way of ensuring this is the case is by the BBSA-accredited scheme. They make sure that child-appropriate safety devices are in the product. These devices include cordless designs, chain tension mechanisms to pull the cord out of children’s reach, breakaway clips and more. You should have these features in the blinds. However, most importantly, make sure the blinds are correctly installed! Blind cords can easily wrap around kids’ necks and cause serious accidents when not manufactured the correct way.

Colourful blinds in a child’s room add a great feature to the bedroom! They allow them to express themselves to the fullest. Blinds in kids’ rooms should be creative, bright, and long-lasting. The best window dressings reflect the personality and choices of your child. Blackout blinds are great for sleep and give them energy for the next day. However, having a creative pattern and design will make the room come to life! Talk to your children regarding the type of blind they want and work with a local specialist to get the perfect blind installed and fitted the right way.

A1 Blinds are renowned in the North East for producing beautifully made to measure blinds including blinds for Velux windows. More and more homes are having Velux windows installed. Be it in the bedroom, kitchen, or a converted conservatory. They’re certainly in demand in recent years as we all strive for more natural light.

One of the best ways you can brighten your home is with natural light. It’s warming, natural and of course completely free! But whilst natural light in the home is a bonus, there will be times when you’ll want to block out that light.

Light control is a day-to-day necessity. When your child is sleeping, you’re having a lie-in or watching a film – you’ll want to be able to dim the light wherever necessary. It’s also key for protecting your furniture from sun-fading on brighter days.

If your home has Velux or Skylight windows, you’ll probably be wondering what your options are.

Blinds for Velux windows are great for keeping in the warmth and blocking out the light. They’re available in a wide range of styles and performance finishes suiting every home, taste, and budget. Blind styles suitable for Velux windows are rollers, pleated and Venetian blinds- all in the perfect-fit format.

However, we know that choosing blinds for Velux windows can be tricky! They’re often angled, at a height and a bespoke shape. Therefore, you’ll want to make sure you’re well-equipped with all the right information before choosing your blinds for Velux windows or skylights.
