Function over form when deciding on blinds

A number of considerations need to be weighed up when deciding what type of window treatment to choose in a room, according to 101homeresources.com.

The website advises that, as much as style matters, functionality should always be the primary concern when looking at the pros and cons of blinds and other window dressings.

"Several functional issues must be addressed before you consider styles, fabrics and colours. If you spend time considering these aspects, you will save time and frustration later," the home decorating website says.

Included among those issues are thoughts about the level of privacy required, the exposure of the room, whether the window is needed for ventilation and how much light control is desired.

Once these aspects have been analysed, thoughts can turn to style and the best colour choices, the website concludes.

According to Simplyfurnishings.com, form and function need to be considered in equal measure when decorating a room.
