Are you, like thousands of other Australians, making a permanent shift to working from home? Not sure whether to choose blinds or curtains for your home office? Venetian blinds are a great choice, offering benefits ranging from greater hygiene and increased airflow to better lighting and privacy control. Keep reading to find out why blinds could be perfect for your home office.
Recent events have made hygiene a higher priority than ever before, and blinds are a great option if you want to make your home office as safe as possible. They're easy to wipe clean as often as you want, with no need to remove them from the wall.
On the other hand, curtains have to be taken down, washed, dried, ironed, and then put back up, making it much less practical to keep them sanitary. For blinds you plan to clean regularly, choose a material like PVC or aluminium.
We all know how important good airflow is when you want to stay safe and healthy. While closing your curtains significantly decreases airflow into your office, blinds are much more versatile. You can easily open a window, then adjust your blinds to give the air plenty of space to flow through, without compromising on privacy. This is also good news if you need to let in cooler air on hot days. You might even be able to reduce your air conditioning bill by choosing blinds over curtains.
Do you find yourself struggling to achieve the right lighting in your office during the day? It's frustrating to deal with glare from the sun, especially when you work at the computer. If you install curtains, you're forced to close them completely to eliminate glare, which can make your office feel dark and dingy.
Blinds are a great alternative and can be adjusted to block out the bright sun without making the room completely dark. This is great if you work long hours and need to make regular adjustments to the lighting conditions.
Whether you're speaking to clients or coworkers via video call, the room they see behind you says a lot about your level of professionalism. A pair of old, gaudy, or wrinkled curtains is never a good look, and won't make a positive first impression. Curtains are harder to keep neat than blinds, which are uniform and presentable at all times. Venetian blinds are a traditional choice for offices, so they're also a good option if you don't want to make it too obvious that you're working from home.
Blinds are also much easier to adjust according to your needs. If you want to keep the location of your home private, you might opt to close them completely. If you want to look better on camera, you might open them to let in more natural light. Blinds are much more versatile than curtains, which is perfect if you have varied needs.
If privacy is important to you or you work with sensitive documents, blinds are a great way to stay secure. They can be adjusted to stop anyone outside from seeing into your office, while still allowing plenty of natural light to flow in. You can easily keep your blinds adjusted for maximum privacy instead of spending all day opening and closing curtains. Blinds are also ideal if you plan to see clients in your home office and want to preserve their privacy.
