Sheers have the ability to soften an interior, adding a more feminine touch to the space but without being frilly or too girlish, and with the range of fabrics available can be casual, relaxed looking or even suit a more luxurious, formal interior space. The possibilities are almost endless.<\/p>\n<p>Behind this flowing sheer quietly sits a roller blind, obscured from view but at the ready for when its services are required, such as blocking out the light for sleeping or night-time privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately for me this blind would be fully automated, so I could simply operate it at the touch of a button or via my iPhone when needed.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22727 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/1-5-300x184.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/1-5-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/1-5-585x361.png 585w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/1-5.png 589w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>How they hang<\/strong><br \/>How a sheer is hung will also affect its appearance and its performance.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a range of options for different style rods or tracks that your sheer will hang from, but make sure it\u2019s practical as well as pretty. There\u2019s nothing worse than seeing a curtain rod hanging off the wall because it was never strong enough to take the weight of the curtains or has come unstuck due to the effort required to drag your curtains open or closed.<\/p>\n<p>Always ensure there is something for the track or rod to fix to, as often fitting directly into plaster is fraught with danger.<\/p>\n<p>This is really where expert advice and professional installation will make a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the winner is definitely sheers and roller blinds, so now I\u2019m just off to do a little redecorating myself.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One question I\u2019ve been asked numerous times over the years is \u201cwhat blinds do you or would you have in your own home?\u201d Having worked in the industry for a long time, you do see trends or fashions that come and go, with some we are happier to see go than others.
