Roller blinds

A tried, tested, and trusted option, roller blinds can also be highly inexpensive; they are easy to install, available in a wide variety of colours, and compatible with most types of windows. They can also be great for blocking out plenty of natural light and boosting privacy around the home.

The only downside with roller blinds is that they do not provide a huge amount of control as far as natural light is concerned. They can be open or closed, with very little room for manoeuvring between them. In addition, roller blinds are not typically suitable for non-standard openings and awkward shapes around the home.

Thicker curtains

Upgrading to thicker curtains can make a big difference in terms of comfort, practicality, and visual appeal. It can block out light, boost energy efficiency, and make an attractive addition to any room. Curtains can also be easy to install if you already have the required runners in place.

As for the downside, curtains have a tendency to soak up dust, dirt, and grime like a sponge. The thicker and heavier your curtains are, the more difficult they can be to keep clean. Thicker curtains need to be dry-cleaned on a regular basis to keep them fresh and hygienic, but on the plus side, they have the potential to last a lifetime.

Window shutters

Quality window shutters are an ultra-premium option that can also be surprisingly cost-effective. They are by far the most versatile window dressings and are available in countless styles. Manufactured to fit absolutely any opening around the home, it can be hygienic and easy to clean, with a near-indefinite lifespan.

Premium window shutters may have a higher initial purchase price, but they are unbeatable in terms of long-term value for money. They improve energy efficiency, boost home security, and even add to the market value of your home. It is well worth considering as a surprisingly cost-effective home improvement.

Window film

The lowest-cost option for a quick fix is the installation of window film. This can be particularly useful in rooms like conservatories, where direct sunlight and excess brightness may be an issue.

With tinted or frosted window film, you simply cut it to the size and shape required before sticking it in place. It has a fairly limited lifespan, but is also easy to remove and can be replaced when needed at a minimal cost.

With window coverings, there is no shortage of options to explore with indefinite longevity.
