How to Choose the Best Indoor Blinds in Perth: Roller, Venetian, Roman & Motorised Options
Perth homes face intense sun, glare, and heat — especially during long summer days. Choosing the right type of indoor blinds can make a big difference in comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. At Innovative Blinds WA, we help you find the ideal blinds for your home, whether you need total darkness, mood lighting, or sleek style.
Understanding What You Need
Before selecting a style, consider:
- Room purpose: Bedroom? Lounge? Children’s room? Kitchen?
- Light exposure / direction: East, west, and north-facing windows receive different intensity and times of sunlight.
- Privacy requirements: Do you need total privacy, or just diffused light?
- Energy efficiency: Good blinds help keep out heat in summer and retain warmth in winter.
- Style & material preferences: Modern minimalism or more decorative fabric styles?
Popular Indoor Blind Types for Perth Homes
Here are some of the most effective indoor blind styles, with their benefits and where they work best:
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are among the most popular styles in Perth. They roll neatly up and out of sight when open and come in a variety of fabrics — blockout, sunscreen/light-filtering, or decorative fabrics.
Best for: Bedrooms, kitchens, windows where space is limited, or anywhere in the home.
Pros: Simple design, easy to operate, wide range of fabric choices, affordable.
Consider: Blockout roller for bedrooms; sunscreen roller for rooms where you want light but not glare; dual rollers for flexible light control.
Venetian Blinds
Venetian blinds (wood, fauxwood, or aluminium) are classic and versatile. The adjustable slats mean you can control light direction, ventilation, and privacy.
Best for: Lounges, studies, dining rooms.
Pros: Precise light control, aesthetic variety, durable.
Consider: Wood for warmth; aluminium or PVC for rooms with moisture.
Roman Blinds
Roman blinds offer a soft, elegant alternative to roller or venetian blinds. They fold neatly when raised and can be made in a wide range of decorative or blockout fabrics to match your décor.
Best for: Bedrooms, dining rooms, or formal living spaces.
Pros: Sophisticated appearance, excellent insulation, can include blockout lining for full light control.
Consider: Pair with curtains for a luxurious, layered finish and better thermal performance.
Motorised Indoor Blinds
Motorised options add convenience and safety, especially for high or hard-to-reach windows. They can integrate seamlessly with smart home systems.
Best for: Homes wanting modern upgrades, or windows above stairs and in high locations.
Pros: Remote control operation, programmable timers, child-safe (cord-free), stylish finish.
Consider: Choose between hardwired or battery-powered systems, and plan for maintenance access.
Materials, Fabrics & Colour Considerations
Choose fabrics with UV resistance, fade resistance, and long-term durability. Use blockout materials where darkness and privacy are a priority, and light-filter or sunscreen fabrics for shared spaces.
- Colour matching: Neutral tones often work best in open-plan spaces; darker tones block more light but can make rooms feel smaller.
- Maintenance: Consider washable materials, ease of cleaning, and fabric vs hard slat options.
Installation & Measurement
Getting the sizing right is crucial. Poorly fitted blinds leave gaps for light, reduce effectiveness, and can look unprofessional. Always measure precisely or book a free in-home measure and quote from professionals.
- Consider reveal (inside window recess) vs face-fit (over window mount) depending on the look and light control you want.
- Ensure correct installation for smooth operation, safety, and long lifespan.
