IMPORTED

** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds

** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS

** IMPORTED Chinese New Year.  The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type).  This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure.  Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work.  Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running.  We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.

A Dose of Inspiration: How Blinds Can Enhance Interior Design

Deciding on your window coverings is just as important as choosing any fixture in your home. Windows are a subtle yet vital point of attraction when you enter a room. That’s why interior designers opt to use customisable blinds that easily allow homeowners to match it with the look of their space. 

More than just providing year-round comfort, blinds offer versatility like no other. With blinds, you’re free to choose the colour, material, and style according to your taste. So, if you’re looking to quickly level up your home in the design department, changing up your blinds is a great start! Take a cue from these examples so you too can improve your home’s overall visual appeal.

Open the space with lighter shades

Blackout roller blinds are ideal for bathrooms and bedrooms, which require additional control of privacy. However, you don’t have to limit yourself from choosing only dark-hued blinds for these rooms. On the contrary, you can select light or pastel shades that make rooms look more spacious and elegant without compromising your privacy.

Material to match your décor style

With blinds, anything is possible! With several material options, you can create a cohesive look that best reflects your personality. Faux wood venetian blinds, for example, provide the rustic feel of wood with the practicality of composite plastic to make living areas can look much more classy and cosy. On the other hand, if you’re leaning towards a more rustic feel, wood venetian blinds may be the best option. For a more sleek, modern look, you can choose either vinyl or aluminium materials.

Great light control with dramatic shadowing

For homes that have built-in, large glass windows, vertical blinds make a fine option. Designed with a 180-degree rotation feature, you obtain great light control to adjust the intensity of light that enters your space. Vertical blinds also add a nice “less is more” look to rooms with its minimal and elegant vertical blades, not to mention the shadow effect it has on your space.

Makes the view worth it

A great thing about roller blinds apart from them being highly customisable is the fact that they also emphasise great outdoor views. By using roller blinds, you have the freedom to raise them anytime with blind accessories such as control chains. Similar to the space above, you can use your blinds to beautifully frame a scenic view while protecting your privacy at the same time.
