When it comes to transforming a space, few things are as effective—or as overlooked—as window coverings. The right blinds can elevate your interior design, control light and privacy, improve energy efficiency, and even boost your home’s value. But with so many styles and materials available, how do you choose the right blinds for your room?
We’ve spent over 30 years helping Australian homeowners find tailored shutter and blind solutions. And in this guide, we’ll show you exactly what to consider when selecting the perfect fit for any room in your home.
Different rooms have different needs, and your blinds should reflect that. A bedroom will have very different requirements than a kitchen or living area.
In a bedroom, you want blinds that offer maximum privacy and light-blocking when needed. Blockout blinds or day-and-night blinds are popular for this reason, giving you flexibility for both sleep and soft daylight.
Living spaces often benefit from translucent or screen blinds that allow in natural light while reducing glare. They soften the room and can create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere without sacrificing visibility.
For wet areas, choose materials that are easy to clean and resist moisture—PVC or aluminium blinds are ideal. These options are practical yet stylish, and they won't warp or degrade over time.
Blinds are the gateway between you and the sun. Choosing the right opacity can dramatically impact the mood and function of your space.
Choosing dual-blind systems—like pairing a blockout with a screen—offers the ultimate in versatility, especially for open-plan homes.
Blinds don’t just perform a function—they also make a statement. You’ll want to choose a look that complements your furniture, colour scheme, and architecture.
Our experts at Security Plus offer tailor-made options that match your unique style down to the finest detail.
The material you choose will affect everything from durability to maintenance to insulation. We recommend:
Material isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about performance and longevity, especially in our unpredictable Aussie climate.
It’s not just roller shutters that help with energy bills—well-fitted blinds can also significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs.
Blinds act as insulation barriers, especially when custom-fitted. During summer, they reduce solar gain. In winter, they help retain indoor warmth. Over time, that means lower bills and a more comfortable home year-round.
Here’s the truth: when it comes to bushfire-rated shutters and attenuation screens, Security Plus is the go-to name in Australia.
We don’t just meet safety standards—we set the benchmark.
Our BAL-40 rated bushfire shutters are engineered to withstand the harshest Australian conditions, offering life-saving protection for homes in high-risk zones.
Our fire attenuation screens are trusted by architects, builders, and homeowners alike to provide additional shielding from heat and flame in both residential and commercial projects.
Audacious but true: If you’re building or upgrading in a bushfire-prone area and you’re not talking to Security Plus, you’re not doing enough.
In many areas classified as BAL-29 or higher, they are either mandatory or strongly recommended. Our team can help you navigate regulations and ensure compliance.
Attenuation screens are specially designed to reduce the intensity of radiant heat and embers during a fire event. They provide another layer of safety and are often used in multi-storey or tight-lot builds.
