How To Choose Coloured Blinds for Windows

Are you wondering whether to go for coloured blinds? Are you not sure if coloured blinds are for you? Maybe you think they won’t suit your home, or you don’t feel daring enough? Well, we’re on hand to help you to decide. Let us guide you through your options and the popular trends and advise you on which designs work best for which blinds!

At EasyFit we have all the coloured blinds that you could imagine. Ranging from calming neutrals right through to exciting statement shades, EasyFit has a choice of coloured blinds to suit every style, décor, and budget.

Neutral Coloured Blinds

Neutral coloured blinds are our most popular choice of blind year upon year. No matter the style you go for, a neutral-coloured blind is safe and easy, but over anything else, a timeless choice. A neutral-coloured blind is a crisp white or a stylish grey, and every muted shade in between.

This is our best-selling colour pallet. So luckily, we have a wide range of neutral-coloured blinds to choose from across our entire range.

So, Which Neutral Coloured Blinds Are Best?

All blinds look fantastic in neutral colours… Something about a neutral colour just works, doesn’t it?

However, an increasingly popular style that is consistently chosen in a neutral shade is a Venetian window blind. Whether it’s an aluminium, wooden or faux wood Venetian, the neutrals win every time. We must admit, these are one of our favourite styles when looking for a timeless window dressing.

What Are the Benefits of Neutral Coloured Blinds?

1) Neutral coloured blinds will outlive most colour schemes you go for. Therefore, if you’re partial to a décor change, we’d recommend that you choose a white, beige, or grey-toned blind.

2) Neutral coloured blinds will suit every room in the house. So, if it’s a uniform scheme you’re aiming for, this could be the colour palette for you!

3) This is the most widely available colour scheme when it comes to blinds. We have hundreds of shades of whites, beiges, greys, and browns for you to choose from. We’re certain you won’t be stuck for choice.

Bold Coloured Blinds

Choosing bold coloured blinds could make the world of difference in your home. Think about it… your blinds are an accessory, a pretty large one at that. So, why not use them to make a statement?

Which Colours Are in This Year?

If you’re looking to keep up with the trends, then there are certain colours we’d recommend. Thanks to Pantone’s choice of Colours of The Year for 2021, pale greys and sunshine yellows have become very fashionable of late. However, with the new year drawing closer, there’ll soon be a new kid on the block for Pantone’s colour of the year 2022, so stay tuned for that one!

Shades of green and navy blues are always a popular choice when it comes to interiors. Both offer vibrant and warming tones that will create a welcoming space for you to enjoy. Plus, they’re extremely versatile too!

Our Top Tip When Choosing Bold Coloured Blinds

When you choose a bold coloured blind, you’re making a big statement! Therefore, it’s important that it complements your interiors for years to come.

We’d recommend going for a shade with lots of colour-pairing options. For example, a yellow blind could be paired with grey, black, and navy accessories – so you could restyle your room easily if you wish!

Yellow Coloured Blinds

What Are the Benefits of Bold Coloured Blinds?

The Role of Roller Blinds in Energy Efficiency

The Role of Roller Blinds in Energy Efficiency

With energy prices continuing to rise in 2025, households across the UK are looking for practical solutions to reduce their bills. While many people invest in smart thermostats and double glazing, roller blinds are a surprisingly effective – and stylish – option for managing energy efficiency at home. Plus, with our current 2 roller blinds for £99 offer, improving your home’s energy performance has never been more accessible.

But roller blinds do much more than just keep your home comfortable. From customisation options to their aesthetic appeal, they offer incredible versatility. Let’s explore how roller blinds can improve your home’s energy performance and why they remain such a popular choice.

Why Roller Blinds Are Perfect for Saving Energy

Windows are one of the largest sources of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Roller blinds help by creating a barrier between your home and the external environment, effectively insulating your windows.

In Winter: Thermal roller blinds can trap warmth inside, reducing the need for excessive heating. By preventing cold drafts from entering through the windows, they help keep the room cosy and inviting.

In Summer: Roller blinds with reflective or light-coloured backing can block out harsh sunlight and prevent rooms from overheating. This means you can use your air conditioning less frequently or rely on natural ventilation instead.

Other Benefits of Roller Blinds

Beyond their energy-saving qualities, roller blinds offer a wide range of other benefits that make them a fantastic addition to any home:

Style and Customisation: Roller blinds come in countless colours, patterns, and fabrics to suit any interior décor. Whether you prefer bold prints, subtle neutrals, or textured materials, there’s a roller blind to match your taste.

Light Control: Blackout roller blinds are ideal for bedrooms, ensuring a good night’s sleep by blocking out all light. On the other hand, sheer or light-filtering blinds are great for living spaces, letting in natural light while maintaining privacy.

Ease of Maintenance: Roller blinds are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike curtains, they don’t trap as much dust, making them a great option for allergy sufferers.

Limited-Time Offer: 2 Roller Blinds for £99

If you’ve been considering upgrading your home with roller blinds, now is the perfect time. For a limited time, we’re offering 2 roller blinds for just £99. This deal allows you to improve energy efficiency while transforming the look of your space – all at an affordable price.

Whether you’re looking to keep your home cool during the summer or warm during the winter, roller blinds are a cost-effective solution that can save money and add a touch of style. With our special offer, you don’t have to compromise on quality or aesthetics.

Why Invest in Roller Blinds?

In addition to the financial savings on energy bills, roller blinds can increase the overall value of your property. Well-fitted, high-quality blinds demonstrate thoughtful design and care for the home, which potential buyers may find appealing. Plus, with the ongoing push for energy efficiency in homes, simple upgrades like roller blinds can make a big difference.

Roller blinds also allow you to experiment with different levels of light and privacy, making them suitable for every room in the house. Whether you want a bright and airy living space or a darkened bedroom for better sleep, there’s a roller blind to meet your needs.

Why Flame-Retardant Blinds Are a Must for Commercial Properties

Why Flame-Retardant Blinds Are a Must for Commercial Properties

Fire safety is a critical concern for all commercial properties, from office buildings to healthcare facilities and schools. According to the UK Government’s Fire and Rescue Incident Statistics, fire safety measures, including the use of fire-resistant materials, significantly reduce fire-related risks and damage in commercial properties. While many businesses focus on fire alarms and sprinkler systems, choosing fire-retardant materials for furnishings, including window blinds, is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of fire prevention.

Key reasons to invest in flame-retardant blinds for your commercial property include:

Enhancing Building Safety

Flame-retardant blinds are designed with materials that resist ignition and slow down the spread of flames. For example, a case study conducted by the London Fire Brigade demonstrated how flame-retardant blinds in a school significantly limited the spread of a small electrical fire, reducing damage and enabling a safe evacuation. You can read more about their findings here: London Fire Brigade Report. In the event of a fire, this feature can:

  • Contain the fire, reducing its spread and giving occupants more time to evacuate.
  • Reduce damage to property and essential equipment, potentially saving thousands in repairs or replacements.
  • Prevent additional fire hazards, as regular fabrics can catch fire and contribute to the fire’s intensity. Fire-retardant materials burn much more slowly or may self-extinguish.

Compliance with Flame Safety Regulations

In many industries, fire safety compliance is not just important—it’s a legal requirement. Installing flame-retardant blinds can help your business:

  • Meet regulatory standards, such as UK building codes and fire safety guidelines.
  • Avoid penalties or legal issues during inspections by adhering to the required fire-resistance standards for furnishings in public or commercial spaces.

Suitable for High-Risk Environments

Certain commercial spaces are more vulnerable to fire risks due to their nature or purpose, such as:

Maintaining Aesthetics Without Compromising Safety

Modern flame-retardant blinds are available in a wide variety of designs, colours, and materials, ensuring you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety. Popular options include sleek, neutral-toned roller blinds for corporate offices and vibrant, patterned blackout blinds that can enhance school theatres or retail spaces. These options allow businesses to align safety measures with their unique aesthetics. Whether you need sleek roller blinds for a corporate office or blackout blinds for a school theatre, flame-retardant options can meet your aesthetic requirements while providing essential protection.

Easy Maintenance and Additional Benefits

Flame-retardant blinds are typically made from high-quality materials that are easy to clean and maintain. Additionally, many of these blinds come with extra features such as:

  • Anti-microbial coatings for healthcare settings.
  • Solar protection to reduce heat and glare while improving energy efficiency.

Take the Next Step in Fire Safety

Flame-retardant blinds are an essential part of a comprehensive flame safety strategy for commercial properties. Not only do they protect lives and property, but they also demonstrate your business’s commitment to creating a safe and secure environment for employees, customers, and visitors.
