‘Tis the season to switch off, hunker down, and cosy up.

As winter draws in, creating spaces we can shelter from the harsh elements in is essential. Around 10% of your home’s heat escapes through windows and doors. So, it is crucial that your blinds and curtains are efficient at trapping heat inside the home. From using lining to combining blinds and curtains, discover our top tips for keeping the heat in. Draw inspiration for your own window spaces and enjoy a warm and cosy space year after year.

Ensure Your Space Remains Visually Warming with Cocooning Palettes

Form a décor scheme that invites you in with open arms thanks to irresistible colour schemes.

Create a welcome contrast against the bleak outside with warming Earth tones. Use shades of clay, ochre, and rouge. Coordinate with your wall colour for impact. Match with smaller soft furnishings for a more subtle yet cosy look. Stay cosy with waffle knit throws and inviting scatter cushions. The warming natural grain of wood adds sophistication and comfort. So, look to Venetian Blinds in Basswood qualities. Opt for Faux Wood Venetian blinds for higher moisture areas.

Winterproof Your Blinds With Effective Linings

Ensure your blinds are up to the task of insulating your space. Pair with linings and banish the cold from your home.

Roman Blinds can be paired with several different linings for the cooler months. These range from thermal and blackout linings to bonded interlinings. Added benefits include light control and privacy. This makes them ideal for bedrooms or windows overlooking busy streets. Maximise their effectiveness by fitting blinds exactly to the measurements of your window. This prevents cold air from entering the room and keeps warm air in.

Combine Curtains and Blinds

Enjoy style and substance when pairing curtains with your blinds.

Curtains effortlessly complement your décor scheme. They also prevent any air escaping through gaps between your blind and window space. Make sure curtains are floor-length and wider than the window. This allows them to act as a barrier against escaping heat. Go one step further and opt for curtains with a thermal lining for added warmth and cosiness.

Let Daylight Pour in on Sunny Days

Make the most of the fleeting Winter sun. Cast your curtains or blinds fully open on brighter days, soaking your space in warmth.

To prevent heat from escaping, be sure to close your blinds or curtains when the sun starts to set. Keep window treatments shut as much as possible during Winter. Only open blinds or curtains during sunnier intervals. Keep them open through the daytime when temperatures are higher too.
