Window blinds ‘a popular online purchase’

Homeowners in the UK are becoming increasingly comfortable with buying certain home items, including window blinds, online.

Don Davis, editor of Internet Retailer Magazine, said that many websites – particularly those based around furniture and customised items – are now offering quality services for those seeking out top products.

He added that this means many people are happy to purchase items including window shades via the internet.

“In general, consumers have been most comfortable buying items they don’t feel a need to touch and feel or that are very complex or expensive,” he explained.

Mr Davis’ comments have come after Simon Hamilton, director of interior design firm Simon Hamilton & Associates, suggested that a key aim behind most home improvements at present is a desire to make properties more comfortable.

He added that this move towards a more personalised feel was different to previous trends, which saw people aim for an increasingly pared down style.
