Not sure about the different styles of window blinds available? Or confused about what type of blind would be better suited to a particular room of your home? Follow this essential guide which provides you with all the advice you need to help make your decision easier.

MEASURING UP

• Before you measure up, decide which fitting option you'd prefer: inside or outside the recess. Inside the recess is a good option for windows in small rooms without much wall space around them. It's also ideal if you are teaming your blind with curtains. For larger rooms, choose a blind that sits outside the recess and blocks out more light.
• For a blind that's going inside the window recess, measure the width of the recess at its narrowest point and the height of the recess.
• For a blind that's going to hang outside the recess, measure the width of the recess and add 4cm to each side, then measure the height of the recess and add 15cm.
• Decide which side the pulley and catch should be in case accessing them will be an issue.

CHOOSE A STYLE

Roller blinds roll up or down by means of a cord. To add interest when they're open, they can have a different fabric on either side. They are an affordable option for informal settings, such as a home office. Take a look at John Lewis' ready-made roller blinds which can be cut to size to fit your space.

Roman blinds give a formal look. They are made from fabric and operate by a pulley. When raised, the blind concertinas into large horizontal pleats, leaving a good segment of fabric on show. You can make Roman blinds yourself, buy them ready-made or have them custom made. There's a wide choice of linings.

Venetian blinds are slatted blinds made from wood, metal or plastic. They often feature in sleek kitchens or bathrooms, and metal or plastic blinds are a practical choice for rooms with high levels of moisture. As you can filter the light, they are also great for a home office.

Vertical blinds are ideal for floor-to-ceiling windows and, as a consequence, tend to be used in summerhouses and conservatories. The vertical blind sections hang from a track and slide to the side when open.
