Honeycomb window blinds are made from pleated fabric in a way that resembles honeycomb, hence the name. The pleated fabric creates cells that trap air making them great for insulation.

Good insulation, especially on your windows, will reduce your power consumption which is great for reducing your carbon footprint.

Choosing the type of honeycomb window blinds to suit your needs could prove to be difficult as there is such a wide range available to choose from.

The most popular blinds retract up and down like most blinds, however you can also find ones that are top down, bottom up.

When choosing the color and texture for your new blinds, take consideration to the color scheme of the rest of the room where the blind will be going. If the room is already full of different colors and textures you may want to tone the room down with a neutral blind that is only one or two shades lighter or darker than the feature color in the room. If the room doesn’t already have a feature, you could well introduce the blind as the feature. Some very popular Balinese honeycomb blinds can make a lovely feature for your room.

Some honeycomb window blinds are designed with a pattern or texture. If you are going for certain look, a patterned blind can add an interesting effect to compliment this look. Likewise, adding texture, especially when it is hanging over the window, can be a great way to make a room look larger and lively. If you are choosing a look that is in fashion right now, make sure that it is not going to date too quickly. You don’t want to end up needing to replace your blinds too soon because they look dated too early.

Textured blinds can be great for a feature, but make sure that they can still be easily cleaned. One of the beauties of honeycomb window blinds is that they are very easy to keep clean and are durable. If the material in your textured blind doesn’t lend itself to easy cleaning you may wish to consider purchasing upholstery cleaning attachment for your vacuum cleaner so that you can keep your new blinds looking fresh for longer.

Most honeycomb window blinds are now made from 100% polyester, with the exception of some which are made from cotton. Both of these materials are colorfast and will wash easily. Honeycomb window blinds are so versatile, they can be used to block out sunlight, keep the room warm in winter, and are a great investment for making your house look like a home.
