Coming Into Autumn - Seasonal Trends

Author : Brad Swarner


         


This season colour palettes are going to be bold, very contrasting and will include a lot of metallic and shiny fabrics, and Hillarys blinds won’t be found wanting with their impressive range of products to match.

If you like a bit of chic, then the Monochrome blind type would be perfect for you, but if you are more interested in metallics or shiny colours, then have a look at Hillarys range of Venetian blinds. Lined Roman blinds are another good way to help improve your insulation, whilst adding a strong burst of colour.

Keeping your home up to date with the current fashion trends is vital, you need to keep with the times and where better to start than the eyes of your house? Textures are another vital part of this autumn’s trends and regardless of what texture you prefer, Hillarys will have blinds to fit your taste.

So next time you go out and look at the latest high street fashion trends, why not invest the same amount of time into creating a similarly fashionable environment in your home?

Don’t move, improve

As the credit crunch tightens its grip on the UK there are fewer of us able to afford purchasing a new home, so why not give your home a facelift? After all you don’t need to move to improve!

What better way to give your home a makeover than improving its eyes? Passersby, visitors, well, actually everyone that passes your house can potentially see your windows, so they should be first to receive special attention.

Hillarys blinds is a great place to find any type of blind you need or want. From super trendy and very bold designs to more elegant and conventional options, they really do have it all. A one stop blind shop if you will.

Some of their ranges include honeycomb (link), Venetian, Roman, wooden (link) and roller blinds, or even a combination of these. Even if you are looking for an awning for your garden, Hillarys might just have what you are looking for.

So why not seriously consider redecorating your home instead of having to spend a much larger sum of money on another new home? After all, you will have to spruce up anyway once you move into a new house to personalise it, so simply invest some time and money into your current home to not just look better, but also increase its resale value?

By updating your blinds/curtains you can change the entire feel of most rooms in your home. Lighter colours will illuminate your rooms and make them seem bigger, brighter and warmer. It is so simple to do, why not look into it? What do you have to lose?

Credit Crunch - transform the space in your home

As we all start to watch our finances a little more carefully, it seems a good idea to divulge some hints and tips on how to improve the living space in your home. There are so many things you can do to improve your home and they don’t have to be difficult or complicated, so here are some ideas on how to transform the space in your home for a minimal cost.

Venetians and vertical blinds

Vertical and Venetian blinds are a great way to turn one room into two. It is also very cost effective. Create a walk-in dressing room in no time or you could even make your own little “quiet” corner with minimal effort. A great place to start looking is Hillarys who have a wide range of these blinds to choose from regardless of what style you are looking for.

Roller blinds

Another great way to save space is to install roller blinds as wardrobe doors, or any other door for that matter. No swinging doors, nothing to obstruct it and it looks great as well, so why not have a look around and see what would work for you!

These are only two ways to create more space and atmosphere in your home and it really couldn’t be easier. Now you can simply roll down your blinds if you are getting fed up with the glare of a computer screen constantly in the corner of your eye. It can also be great for dinner parties and will allow you to split your dining room into two, a handy trick when the kids have left a lot of things lying around!

Summer at your window longer

Summer is starting to come to an end outside, but that doesn’t mean it has to start getting freezing in your home just yet! Why not brighten up your windows (and consequently the rooms they’re in) by installing some brighter, lighter coloured blinds?
Scientific studies have proved that people tend to be happier and cheerier when surrounded by “happy” colours that include:
• Pink
• White
• Violet
• Orange
• Green
• Yellow
These colours all have different influences on people, pink is a comforting colour, but not as aggressive as red. White is the purest colour available and gives the impression of clean, crisp and serenity. Violet is a tricky one, but the right shade can provide a very warm cosy, almost bohemian atmosphere in any home. Orange is another warm colour, not quite red and a little warmer than yellow, orange in the right dosage can warm up any home! Yellow creates a lovely warm summery feel, bright and cheery, but remember – in moderation! The right shades of green can be very peaceful and calming creating a very natural atmosphere and its soothing effects will amaze you.
Web-blinds also offer another great innovation that allows you to print your holiday (or any other photos) on your blinds so that you can hang on to your summer for a little while longer.
So regardless of what route you choose to take, be sure to do your homework and research regarding the colour of your blinds because you want to create warmth and energy, not frighten all of your guests!
