Windows are one of the most important features of any room. The right coverings don’t just provide privacy and light control — they also enhance style, improve comfort, and even boost energy efficiency. At Godden Home Interiors, we’ve been helping homeowners find the perfect solutions for over 50 years, and here are our top tips for making the right choice.
1. Think About Style
Your window coverings should complement your décor.
- Shutters: Timeless, elegant, and ideal for period properties or a clean, structured look.
- Blinds: Sleek and versatile, perfect for modern spaces or rooms where you want a minimal finish.
2. Consider Privacy & Light Control
Different rooms have different needs:
- Bedrooms: Blackout blinds or lined curtains for a restful night’s sleep.
- Living rooms: Shutters or sheer curtains allow natural light while still providing privacy.
- Bathrooms: Waterproof blinds or shutters that can handle moisture.
3. Don’t Forget Energy Efficiency
Window coverings do more than look good — they can help reduce heating costs.
- Shutters and lined curtains provide insulation in winter.
- Light-filtering blinds can reduce glare and heat in summer.
4. Measure & Fit with Care
The best results come from a made-to-measure service. A professional consultation ensures your coverings are perfectly fitted, avoiding gaps and guaranteeing a polished finish.
5. Make It Personal
Ultimately, the right choice comes down to your lifestyle and preferences. Do you prefer the bold impact of patterned curtains, the crisp lines of shutters, or the practicality of easy-to-clean blinds?
