Make Communal Spaces More Inviting
Adding blinds to communal areas like your living or dining room makes your home feel more comfortable and welcoming. A cosy environment encourages connection and creates the perfect setting for spending time with guests or loved ones.
Blinds & Mental Wellbeing: So what’s the Link?
1. Let the Light In—Boost Your Mood
Natural light is key to increasing serotonin levels, a brain chemical that helps regulate mood. Venetian blinds allow you to filter in just the right amount of light while maintaining privacy, giving your space a natural, calming atmosphere.
2. Maintain Privacy Without Losing Light
Onto this privacy thing…sometimes it can feel stressful (especially on a busy street) knowing people can see into your home! Adding Venetian Blinds is a great way to still allow in the gorgeous sunlight while still preventing people being able to see in!
Top Tip:
- Downstairs: Tilt your slats upward for maximum privacy from passersby.
- Upstairs: Tilt your slats downward to block views from higher angles while still enjoying the light.
MMaintaining a consistent sleep schedule is crucial for optimal wellbeing. Trying to catch up on missed sleep during the weekend might sound like a great idea, but this can lead to what’s known as a “sleep hangover”. This occurs when your body fails to achieve the necessary quality of sleep it needs to fully rejuvenate. It’s essential to stick to a regular sleep pattern and aim for a similar bedtime and wake up time each day, this can be done with our brand new Motorised Venetian Blinds which can be scheduled to open and close at set times of the day!
This Mental Health Awareness Week why not get into the DIY mood, even through something as simple as picking out blinds! Whether you’re grabbing a mate for a second opinion, teaming up for a bit of weekend DIY, or just making your space feel a little more inviting, it’s all about those little moments that bring people together.
