Hi I’m Jason from the company Blockout Blinds and today I’m here to show you another house transformation.
00:14 – Why is Jason excited?
Look I get excited about blinds, I know it’s sad but I can’t help it because I’ve seen so many before and after photos that for me there not too many other things that can make such a big difference to your home. I’ve got another example for you here today.
00:28 – Curtains in open position
In this first picture here, what do you see? We’ve got those mission brown curtains on the front window of the bedroom. Wow, don’t they look… so yesterday!
Well curtains, they’re a bit of a thing of the past now, they’re a bit old style and what we find with all these old curtains is that they haven’t been taken down for a long time and they are literally full of dust. You just shake them and the dust just wafts out which is not good for asthma, allergies etc. and most people don’t bother getting them cleaned.
01:02 – Curtains take up a lot of window space
Now what else people don’t realise also about curtains is that as a general rule of thumb, a curtain takes up about one third of the window space when they’re in the open position unless you run them past the window which you can’t always do. So one third of your window is a lot of light and view that you are blocking out.
01:21 – Curtains nearly completely shut
Let’s take a look at when the curtains are nearly shut and another thing that curtains can tend to do especially if they are a darker fabric is that they can really encroach into the room and make the room feel a lot smaller than what it is. So this person, they woke up in the morning they looked at those blinds for one last time and they said, I’ve had enough, no more curtains!

They got us out, we measured them up and what did we do? Well let’s look at this photo here. Well no surprise they went for a light colour is it after they had that amazing brown for years, they said no dark colours, give us a light colour please. So we installed a dual roller blind in a light colour, they’ve got a screen that they can put down during the day which gives them a view with privacy. No longer do they just have the open or shut option. Then they have the blockout over the top so at night time they can pull it down so people can’t see in and if they want to sleep in they leave the blockout blind down and that light colour just makes the room feel so much bigger.
02:22 – Summary
So what a difference from an old curtain in mission brown to some modern looking dual roller blinds in a light colour. So there is another home transformation and I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s a big transformation so until next time.
