Great reasons for choosing curtains for your home:
Apart from personal taste, here are few reasons for choosing curtains for your home.
• Variety of Choice
There is no limit to the colours, patterns, or choice of fabrics for curtains. They range from light, sheer
voile to patterned, heavy velvet fabrics.
• The Aesthetics
People will often invest in high-quality curtains for their living room as this will enhance the décor and
make a design statement. A curtain made from a luxurious material will become a feature of your room.
Even a curtain made from a more affordable material will make the room look less clinical and enhance
the ambiance of any room.
• Insulation
Ceiling-to-floor curtains that are lined and made from a good-quality thick material will help insulate your
room on a cold winter’s evening and hot summer days, helping to keep your rooms at a comfortable
temperature year-round.
• Light
In bedrooms, when you close the curtains you will benefit from a fully darkened room if you have good
quality curtains. Light control is one of the most important qualities to consider when sourcing window
dressings. Whether you want to decorate your home with thick, luxurious curtains or modern blinds,
considering how efficient they are at welcoming or blocking natural bright light, is key.
• Dust build-up and allergens
When your windows are open, dust particles and pollen enter your home. To a great degree curtains act
as a barrier and help prevent allergens from entering. They also control moisture condensation on
windows at night.
• Price Range
The price range for curtains can vary greatly. It can range from thousands of Rands for a made-to-
measure set in a luxury material with blackout lining to a much more affordable budget for a set of small
standard-sized curtains. Depending on your budget you may have to buy curtains that are not lined and
are made from a thinner fabric but they will still work and enhance the decor in your room. If you don’t
have a huge budget this is where curtains can benefit over blinds.
Fantastic reasons for choosing blinds for your home:
Every year, Blinds are becoming increasingly popular and there are good reasons for this. Below are a few
examples of the advantages to choosing blinds for your home.
• The large variety of blinds available
The range of blinds has grown in recent years. Venetian blinds are now available in a variety of colours
and the slats can be made from aluminium, wood, or PVC faux wood. Roman blinds made from luxurious
fabrics, sheerweave to blockout roller blinds, bamboo, double rollers, honeycomb and many new types of
blinds are available. The choices are vast. At George Carpets & Curtains, we have the expertise to fully
explain each type of blind and help you make the right choice for your home.
•Aesthetics
The large range of blinds available means you will be able to choose a blind that suits your style, décor &
home. If you like a modern, minimal interior, then blinds are perfect for you! They are tidy and can sit
neatly inside your window frame.
• Technological Improvements
If you dislike the dangly cords on blinds, then you will be happy to hear that you can now buy remote
controlled blinds. Cordless blinds are more expensive but are more aesthetically pleasing.
•Sunlight & Sun Glare
Blinds have a huge advantage over curtains when it comes to controlling sunlight and sun glare in your
home. Blinds are more practical and functional with the ability to filter the amount of light that enters the
room. Vertical blinds and Venetian blinds are fantastic at being able to control the light, whilst still
providing a good level of privacy
• Price Range
As with curtains, the price range is huge, depending on the materials chosen, the size of your windows,
and whether you need made-to-measure blinds. The great news is that a set of top-of-the-range made-to-
measure blinds will be cheaper than custom-made curtains.
