PVC roller blinds in the bathroom

Much like how the kitchen is prone to stains, your bathroom will be prone to being wet and steamy, so you need a blind in your bathroom that can deal with being in a wet environment, straight away that means no to many fabric, wood or metal blinds that would be damaged by the constant moisture.

Roman blinds for the living room (small to medium windows)

Vertical blinds for the living room (bid windows)

If you have bigger blinds in your living room (wider than 250cm) vertical blinds are a good option for you. Verticals look stylish and can be rotated to allow as much (or as little) light as you want into the room and can be drawn sideways much like a set of curtains. They are also available in blackout variants to help cut out the light when watching television.
