Get a summer ready home with curtains + blinds

Heatwaves are becoming more regular in the UK now, so temperature regulation is one of the most important factors when considering your made to measure curtains and made to measure blinds. Choosing one of our sheer fabrics for your windows means your curtains and blinds will beautifully filter the suns harsh glare and reduce the level of heat coming in. Sheer curtains and blinds will also act as a barrier to those pesky bugs when you want to throw open your windows and patio doors.

Choose from recycled sheers for the eco-conscious home and lightweight curtains, or linen sheers for a more textured, relaxed pair of curtains.

Our transparent roller blinds provide a layer of privacy for windows that overlook busy streets or other homes. Installing a made to measure roller blind means you can keep your windows open during a heatwave, whilst keeping nosy neighbours at bay. Transparent roller blinds also work in a similar way to sheer curtains in terms of diffusing the suns glare and helping to control the temperature in the summer months, but are more practical for smaller windows and smaller rooms.

In bedrooms, not only does blackout lining help with sleep on the shorter summer nights, but it can also help to regulate your bedrooms temperature. By keeping your blackout curtains and blinds closed during the day, especially in a heatwave, you can keep your bedroom cooler by deflecting the suns glare. Made to measure curtains and made to measure blinds with blackout lining act as a barrier between the sun and your bedroom so you can sleep more comfortably on a hot summers evening.

Given not every day is a heatwave in the summer, curtains and blinds can be a great way to add some summer colour to your home. You can go bold with yellow curtains, create a more whimsical look with pastel coloured curtains, or introduce some coastal charm with our range of Amalfi stripe fabrics for your curtains and blinds. Pair your colourful curtains and blinds with a sheer fabric or blackout lining for added temperature control.

If you don’t know where to start on getting your home summer ready with curtains and blinds, start with your home office. A work-from-home space needs to be comfortable, so by adding the correct made to measure curtains or made to measure blinds, you can improve the temperature and light glare over summer. Add sheer curtains to filter the sunlight from your computer screen, or add a cotton pair of lined curtains to regulate the temperature and deflect the suns heat in south facing offices.
