Material for making blinds
In the process of making curtains like blinds for the bedroom, photos of which are presented below, the manufacturer uses a large number of materials and fabrics. Thanks to this approach, the finished products are perfect for any room, regardless of style, size and purpose.
Tree
Wood has always been considered an environmentally friendly material that can be safely used in the design of any premises, including bedrooms. A special feature is a high level of wear resistance and a long service life. Manufacturers treat blinds made of wood with a special compound, which helps to increase their service life.
Attention! Wooden products are the most expensive, as a result not every consumer can afford them.
Plastic
Plastic products are the most popular and this is not surprising, because they are considered hygienic. Such products do not absorb dirt, in addition, they are not afraid of water. If necessary, the slats can be removed from the window opening and then washed using a soap solution. After the product is completely dry, it can be used further. A feature of plastic blinds in the bedroom is their long service life.
Aluminum
Many consumers prefer to use aluminum products when decorating their bedroom. As a rule, in such cases, many tend to assume that aluminum blinds have a long service life. However, many do not think about the fact that such products heat up when exposed to direct sunlight; in addition, they deteriorate quite quickly, which leads to replacement and, as a result, extra money.
Bamboo
Bamboo blinds for the bedroom are mainly used by adherents of eco style. Products made from this material, as practice shows, are as close to nature as possible and are environmentally friendly. Bamboo blinds can bring freshness to your bedroom interior. Many people believe that bamboo can absorb all negative energy.
Paper
If you plan to use paper products when decorating your bedroom, then you should take into account the fact that paper slats are rarely produced. This is due to the fact that such a material is very fragile and easily susceptible to deformation.
Attention! Paper is used mainly in the manufacture of pleated fabrics.
Textile
If you plan to purchase blinds made of fabric for your bedroom, then you should take into account the fact that cotton, polyester, or material made with jacquard weaving are used for production. Fabric products are pre-impregnated with special compounds that have dust-repellent properties. During operation, this protective layer is washed off, as a result of which the blinds lose their properties.
Bamboo and plastic blinds in bedroom decor
For a room decorated in Japanese or classical style, where there is wicker furniture, bamboo blinds are ideal. When closed, they will take up very little space, and when open, they will carefully close the window opening, blocking light and creating a comfortable atmosphere. The naturalness of the product will immediately have a positive effect on the quality of sleep. Breathing in such a bedroom is very easy and pleasant. Moreover, with proper care of the products, the feeling of freshness does not disappear over time.
Plastic blinds are installed in the bedroom not only as a budget option. Combined systems are practical and attractive. Plastic can be combined with most materials. Weaves of high-quality colored plastic and bamboo will make the room brighter. Horizontal blinds with very thin slats, accompanied by soft flowing materials, look elegant and elegant. Plastic is often used as a frame for roll-type structures. The main thing is that the material is of high quality and environmentally friendly. In this case, it will not be subject to rapid wear, deformation and subsidence.
