Which Blind is Best for Privacy and Light?

Well-chosen blinds enhance the beauty of a space, adding elegance and improving the ambience. However, the uses of blinds go well beyond the aesthetic aspects. There are also many functional benefits to them. Among the most important in this regard are better privacy and the ability to control the light which enters a space. 

But not all blinds are made the same. Certain types of blinds are better than the others in affording privacy and light control. Here, we explore the blinds that are the best for the same.

Solarette Blinds

Solarette blinds are among the finest options if you wish to balance privacy with an adequate volume of light inside a room. You can just tilt the fabric blades easily to adjust light filtration. They typically feature soft fabric and multiple vanes, and have a subtle rather than imposing appearance. Since they don’t come with any chords, they take on a free-floating appearance which lends a soothing vibe to any space.

 

Zebra Blinds (Sonatine Blinds)

As the name suggests, zebra blinds also called as Sonatine Blinds feature striped designs that mimic the pattern you see on a zebra. The alternating stripes are made of opaque and sheer fabric. This lets in light while ensuring privacy at the same time. Further, they are crafted in the roller-blade design. This means that you can roll them up and down to increase or decrease the light which enters. They can serve you for seven or eight years with proper care, ensuring elegance, privacy and ample amount of light in the room for a long time. 

 

Wooden Blinds

Simply by virtue of being made with wood, wooden blinds have an exotic visual appeal. But beyond the looks, they have a functional value when it comes to light filtration. They feature wooden slats that are mounted upon a track. You can easily adjust these slats with the flick of a wrist, according to your privacy and light preferences. 

These blinds are crafted using different types of wood including mahogany, oak, basswood and faux wood. You can install them over doors and windows of various sizes. Aside from providing adequate light and privacy, they also help reduce the amount of noise that seeps in from the outside, and curb dust particles from entering a space.

 

Panel Blinds

Panel blinds are unique among blinds because of the distinctly large panels which give them their name. This is in stark contrast to most other blind variants whose slats tend to be narrower in proportion. 

The panels come mounted over a track, and a wide variety of fabrics are used to make the blinds. The individual panels can be moved, letting you adjust the volume of light that gets into a space while retaining good privacy.

 Panel blinds come in various colours/patterns. They are also made using different fabrics including polyester, linen, cotton, bamboo and jute. The diverse options mean that you can find panel blinds to suit any space, ensuring good light control and privacy.

 

Cellular blinds (Honeycomb Blinds)

Featuring tiny cell-like structures that give them their name, cellular blinds ensure that a certain volume of light enters the space by default. The trick is in choosing the blinds with the right opacity to suit a particular room. As for privacy, you can choose either top-down or bottom-up variant according to your requirements. 

Cellular blinds which are also called HoneyComb Blinds are excellent for temperature control, thanks to the fact that the cell structure traps air, helping keep rooms cool during the summers and warm in winters. The honeycomb-like structure also renders them more resistant to tearing.
