Pair them with curtains in bold colors or prints for maximum impact, or pair them with window films to keep heat out during summer months.
Slatted blinds like these may collect dust and might not be appropriate for people suffering from allergies. As an alternative, consider installing a double track system with sheers as your outer layer; otherwise silhouette, facette, or night and day blinds which offer similar levels of privacy and light control with less maintenance requirements; they consist of two translucent fabrics separated by an opaque fabric sandwiched in between them – making cleaning much simpler with just a cloth or vacuum!

As is true with all blinds and curtains, taking accurate measurements is crucial when ordering new blinds or curtains. A few extra minutes to take accurate measurements will save money in the long run and guarantee that your new blinds fit flawlessly without gaps or looseness. When measuring windows accurately take width measurements from three places: at the top, middle, and bottom – this gives a more precise reading than just taking width of casing as this provides more accurate data.
Safety should also be an important consideration when purchasing new window treatments, so cordless window coverings that reduce the risk of children or animals getting caught in cords should be preferred. This is especially essential if upgrading to motorised smart blinds which can be operated with just the touch of a button or integrated into home automation systems.
Roman blinds
Garden rooms have become an increasingly popular space to work, relax and connect with nature. They can double up as home cinema or playroom spaces due to their many windows and doors which let in plenty of natural light; this can sometimes make the room seem open or exposed if no blinds or curtains are present to create an enclosed feeling in your workspace.
Blinds provide great control and flexibility over light and privacy, as their slats can be tilted precisely to either block out sunlight or allow it to filter in. Roman blinds are particularly suitable as they come in a range of fabrics and can even be customized to perfectly fit the width and height of any window.
Roman blind lining options come in various colors and finishes that add depth and dimension to their fabric, as well as improving privacy and light control. A blackout lining, for instance, can keep your workspace warm in winter but cool in summer by blocking direct sunlight glare, making it an excellent solution for home offices that get direct sun.
Attributes like borders and trims can add an extra touch of style to blinds, drawing attention away from their frames while fitting seamlessly with overall room decor. Take for instance these Roman blinds from Juno Mantis; these have been finished off with soft stone trim to complement walls and curtains while making frames almost invisible for display of bold green linen-mix fabric instead of frames; helping make shades feel integrated more seamlessly into room design while still complementing vibrant contemporary sofa and cushion accessories.
Vertical blinds
Vertical blinds provide you with the power to manage the amount of natural light entering your garden room, from soft morning sun through to dim nighttime illumination. By tilting their slats, you can allow in soft morning light while keeping the room shaded and private – or block out outside light for movie-night comfort!

Unfortunately, they are susceptible to warping over time and minor misalignments of their slats may lead to them making loud clattering noises when exposed to windy conditions.
How you select blinds or curtains for your garden office depends on your individual requirements, preferences and aesthetic. Windows size, amount of natural light desired and desired level of privacy play a vital role. In addition, consider material and color choices of blinds/curtains to ensure they complement existing decor.
