I have painted the window frames white (or at least undercoated them at this stage). I am intending to get horizontal 50mm blinds. I was going to go for white Eco blinds (the widish white plastic blinds). I am concerned that the dark brown criss-cross of the flyscreen framing as well as the other dark brown aluminium framing will look too intense through the blinds. So I am concerned about white on dark brown patterns behind with the dark brown ruining the look. Is that a valid concern? Or will it not really be noticeable. The photos are of the lounge, toilet, and bathroom. I can always go curtains in the lounge but the toilet and bathroom would be better with blinds. Anyone else put slat blinds over windows with fly screens?

That’s why there is more of it. How about a timber look eco blind, that way the dark brown won’t be quite so obvious.

I think that any darker blind will block the light. In the bathroom you need as much light as is possible. Two blinds or one? 5Dec 31, 2008 11:06 am On the big lounge window in the photo above I wanted to get 63mm slats but I couldnt because the horizontal bar dividing the top and bottom windows sticks out too far. So only a 50mm will fit.
I am getting plastic Eco Blinds. Would you recommend one blind running all the way across OR two blinds, one beside the other, meeting in the middle. The reason for narrower blinds was that they would be less likely to warp. I.e. one wide blind might sag in the middle over time (although having said that they are supported in intervals all the way along with the vertical strings). Any comments anybody?

See what other replies you get. One may also look a bit more streamlined and neat, but I guess you may be right about the warping.

In reality the slats would be closer together I think. I also greyed the walls a bit as they are a grey white now (a bit lighter than that grey). I also "painted" the frames gloss white as that is what they will be. What do people think? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I am renovating a 3 bed house.

Re: Advice pls about blinds pls see photos 12Jan 02, 2009 7:42 am We have a window that is going to have a 'split blind' (so two blinds, side by side) - not through choice, but because it's a very wide window and the manufacturer doesn't make a timber venetian wide enough.
If I'd been able to, I'd have had a single blind - no matter how close together they are, there's sure to be some light coming through the small gap between. If it had been a bedroom, I'd have re-thought my blind choice, but since it's s living room, it's not such a big deal.
