They have layed out clearly the choices you need to consider in order to make the right decision and so avoid unnecessary use of the "back button" in a frustrated attempt to find what you are looking for.

Which Blind?
There are quite a few types of window blind to choose from and all have advantages and disadvantages in different situations. If you are unsure as to which type suits your requirement we hope the following will be of help to you.

Bathroom / Kitchen
Due to high moisture levels in kitchen and bathroom areas it would perhaps make life easier if they were moisture proof or in the case of the kitchen to be easy to clean. Roller blinds are a popular choice as are Venetians and verticals as they all come in fabrics, PVC for instance or teflon coated which are ideal for these conditions.


Wide Windows
Vertical blinds are the choice here
In a very wide window such as an office building which one wall may be entirely glass, Vertical blinds are the perfect choice as they, unlike a horizontally orientated blind which would be extremely heavy to lift and lower, the weight of the vertical blind is distributed across its entire length.

Curved / Bay Windows
Again, Vertical blinds here as they easily accommodate curved areas.

Living room / Bedroom
Anything goes in the living room (except for unusual conditions, see above) but light inhibition is the main issue in bedrooms. If you like to awaken in a darker room in the mornings then you need blackout blinds or blinds with a blackout backing such as Roman or roller blinds.

Unusual Shapes
Most blinds can only be cut to a square or rectangle however, for certain applications especially conservatory ceilings you will most likely need a triangular or tapered blind. Roller blinds and pleated blinds are both perfect for the job here.
