Window coverings

9 years ago

I just finished a renovation of my bathrooms and needs window coverings for them and 1 bedroom. I contacted budget blinds who came and gave me a consult.My bay window in my bathroom doesn't need quite as much privacy as my other bathroom, so I opted for solar blinds at 3% and 1% exposure where I needed more privacy.They offered me solar blinds by a company called Signature and another offbrand which I hadn't heard of. They offered me a 35% discount off retail. The pricing was between 200 and $300 per window based on size and fabric. delivery and installation three weeks.
Is there a difference between brands that is significant? I have only had experience with Hunter Douglas blinds and haven't heard of these other brands and I'm wondering if it is a mistake to go with an off label brand?
Any advice regarding window treatments is very welcome! thank you!

Hunter Douglas is High End Luxury brand and all products - the best quality. For example - there are a lot of brands on the market with shades like Silhouette. What the difference between them and Silhouette. First of all - opening mechanism. Hunter Douglas Silhouette has 4 different options: LiteRise(cordless), EasyRise (classic cord), UltraGlyde (retractable cord) and Motorized. You can have exactly what you need in your situation. For other brands - Classic cord and motorization only! And of course quality and versatility of fabrics and Life Time warranty from Hunter Douglas. If money for you is not an object - go with Hunter Douglas. If not - it's nothing wrong to install other cheaper brand if you like colour and quality.
It's like your car - if you can afford Cadillac - good, if not - GM or Chevrolet are not bad as well.

thanks for the great suggestions! Will speak to the archi. to check if the bars can be reduced in numbers.One suggestion from his end was to cover these bars by using cement fibre sheets that have the look n feel of wooden texture but I am not sure of the end result.Any other material that can be used to enhance the look?

house is good in white. ensure you choose off white colour such as cotton woll and not brilliant white whike repainting. Gate in black. boundary wall in mud colour. overall it would look like a spanish villa. only thing missing is a big olive tree or a palm tree

Thanks everyone, I'm planning to get my floor tiled up soon, and then later the whitewash. So before all that, I wanna do away with the construction part, if required to transform this hideous corner. I had the roller blinds in my mind to hide these iron windows, but I will also look at options for changing them windows entirely if budgets allow. I might have to use some false ceiling work as well. Posters, I don't think can find space here, but a lounger sofa-bed is a surething with some nice lights. Please do share some pictures of the lights and loungers and floor tiles if you may, for suggestion. I'll be obliged. Thanks again!

You can cover the balcony with grills and put a pigeon mesh which is easily available in the market. paint the balcony to your taste and put some hanging pots and cane swing or do some low sitting arrangement with mattresses and cushions.
