How to Design Custom Printed Blinds that Reflect Your Personal Style and Preferences

 Printed Blinds are an alternative to standard window coverings and add a touch of personality and creativity to your home. They are also perfect for businesses, as they can help to draw in customers by promoting the products or services on offer.

Blinds come in many different materials, colours and styles

Blinds come in many different materials, colours and styles to suit the decor of your living space. Some blinds, such as zebra blinds, may be more appropriate for an eclectic or rustic design scheme, while others, like roller blinds or panel blinds, work well with modern or traditional designs. They also provide practical benefits such as privacy and light control.

 Printing technology

With the advances in printing technology, it is now possible to print almost anything – including blinds. This is a great way to promote a business in a shop front, showcase a theme in an office or create inspiring environments in schools and hospitals.

Roller and panel blinds

The types of blinds best suited for printing are roller and panel blinds. This is because they provide a flat surface and are quite literally blank canvasses for the printer. They also allow the fabric to be printed either on one side or both. For maximum impact, the image should be a high resolution photo or graphic that will reproduce clearly. It is also a good idea to have the blinds fitted near a source of natural light to avoid shadowing.

Once the image has been chosen it is then digitally printed onto the fabric – often with a white or light colour over a dark cloth. The other side of the fabric can then be printed with a plain colour or another image, such as a photograph or a drawing. The result is a stunning and versatile window dressing that will enhance any room.

 A more subtle effect

Alternatively, the blinds can be screen printed which gives a more subtle effect. The other side of the fabric is still printed with a light colour but is not as visible as when using a digitally printed blind.

Conclusion

Printed Blinds can be used for any type of business but are particularly effective in shops and offices. They can shade the building from the sun during the hottest parts of the day, which helps to keep staff and customers comfortable whilst also reducing air conditioning costs. The addition of a logo can also be helpful, adding to the branding of the business and helping customers to find it. The bespoke nature of the product means that it is highly adaptable and can be tailored to suit each individual customer’s needs. For example, some of the blinds can be made to a curved shape in order to accommodate a bay window. The blinds can also be fitted with a tilt function to maximise the amount of sunlight that can be let in. They can also be made with components that make them vandal and graffiti proof for added security.
