There’s no time like the summer time, to start thinking about your new window furnishings!
Summer typically brings hot weather, longer days, and more sunlight. To ensure your window furnishings not only look good but are also functional, read on to learn about some key considerations when it comes to selecting what type of product would work best for your home.
Summer days can provide an excellent opportunity to assess how natural light enters your home and affects your living spaces. Observing the intensity and direction of sunlight during the summer can help you make the best decisions when it comes to deciding between Roller Blinds, Plantation Shutters or Curtains.
Summer is often associated with higher temperatures. Roller blinds with sunscreen or blackout fabrics can help regulate the indoor temperature by blocking out excessive heat and sunlight. In addition, sunscreen blinds are brilliant for retaining you view to outside world, whilst reducing the sun’s glare off the TV or your computer screen.
While block out curtains are often associated with providing warmth in cooler months, they can also have a role in regulating the indoor temperatures during the summer. Choosing curtains with insulating properties can help keep your home cooler and potentially reduce the need for air-conditioning and other cooling systems.
Similar to other window coverings, plantation shutters contribute to energy efficiency by providing insulation.
You could (and should) consider motorizing your blinds or curtains and integrating them into your smart home. This way you can set up timers to open or close your window coverings at certain times of the day to regulate and maintain your homes internal temperature. The additional cost of a motorized blind or curtain can lead to energy savings and lower energy bills, making motorized roller blinds and curtains a cost-effective investment.
All of these products will contribute to a more comfortable and cooler living environment.
In warmer weather, the desire for good ventilation becomes more apparent.
Plantation shutters are designed to provide effective ventilation when open. During the summer, when fresh air is particularly welcome, the ability to control airflow with adjustable louvers is an appealing feature.
Curtains, especially lightweight and breathable fabrics – like sheer curtains – can contribute to a well ventilated and comfortable living space during the summer months.
Be sure to choose the silent bottom rail, if selecting roller blinds. The special back of this bottom rail will bounce gently (and more importantly) silently off your window sills or architraves, enabling you to leave your bedroom or lounge room windows open to enjoy an evening breeze, without that annoying banging sound.
All of our Roller blind fabrics are specifically selected from reputable suppliers to ensure the safety of your family. Each of our ranges carries a Green guard certification. None of our fabrics contain VOC’s.
Be very wary of cheaper lower quality fabrics, as they can ‘gas off’ when sitting in direct sunlight, (I know right!?) causing skin irritations or breathing difficulties.
For individuals with allergies, summer is a time when pollen levels can be high. Plantation shutters are relatively easy to clean, and their design minimizes the collection of dust and allergens, making them a potentially beneficial choice for those with respiratory sensitivities.
You could (and should) consider motorising your blinds or curtains and integrating them into your smart home.

The additional cost of a motorised blind or curtain can lead to energy savings and lower energy bills, making motorised roller blinds and curtains a cost-effective investment.
The summer sun can be harsh, and prolonged exposure to UV rays can damage furniture, flooring, and other interior elements. Roller blinds or curtains equipped with UV-protective materials can help prevent fading and deterioration of your belongings. All of our block out curtain fabrics have UPF 50+ sun protection.
With longer daylight hours during the summer, having proper window coverings becomes crucial for maintaining privacy in your home. Roller blinds, Curtains and Plantation Shutters allow you to control the amount of light entering your space while ensuring your privacy and enhancing your security.
Holiday time is DIY time! Many homeowners embark on home improvement and redecoration projects during the summer when the weather is favorable and they may have some time off work.
Summer may inspire a desire for lighter, brighter and more vibrant interior décor. Choosing curtains or roller blind fabrics that complement the seasonal aesthetic can enhance the overall look and feel of your home during the warmer months. Whereas Plantation Shutters will add a coastal or Hamptons feel with their bright white appearance. All of these products will instantly transform the look and feel of your living spaces, providing a fresh and updated appearance to your home.

So happy with our first DIY experience. The instructional videos made measuring and installing so easy. Loved being able to order unlimited samples so we could make the right choice. Our master bedroom previously had 5 separate roman blinds to pull up and down everyday. Now with motorised blockout they all go up/down with the press of a button. We love the end result.
We are so happy with our iSeekBlinds Bali Snow s-fold sheer curtains. We have just under 8m altogether in our living and dining rooms and they have completely transformed the look and feel of the room. I just love how they provide softness, texture and also add movement to the room. Our overall experience with iSeekBlinds was faultless. They were incredibly easy to measure and install and the customer service provided was above and beyond. Thank you iSeekBlinds, they look amazing and we are thrilled with our purchase.
We took our time to decide on the best solutions for our space. We have a long room with high windows. The existing timber venetian blinds had provided the privacy we liked but were outdated and created a very strong, linear aesthetic that wasn’t particularly welcoming in our living space. We hoped to add some softness and texture, whilst maintaining privacy, with our new window furnishings.
Looking through iSeekBlinds Instagram account helped us to decide on what would work best, so using some of the images for inspiration ordered our sample fabrics and this really helped us with our decisions. We could see how tactile the fabrics were, the quality as well as test the colours in the room at different times of day. We then used Michael’s videos to plan our space, they were really informative and easy to understand. This meant we were able to measure up and decide on the roller blind layouts with confidence., and figure out the curtain measurements (and debate our preferences!).
The ordering process was simple, and useful that you could save the order and come back to it. To our utter surprise the blinds and curtains arrived in record time. I think it was about 12 days or so.
Installing the blinds and curtains was pretty straight-forward for my handy and perfectionist husband. It probably took a full day, but we spread it across our Easter weekend. The blinds were the trickiest to get the spacing right because we had to install hard up against another wall and partly inside the window frames. But when resolved this meant the spacing was super flush and no gaps.
By Sunday we had linked the motorised blinds up to the hub and can now use our Google Home to instruct them to open and close. The cat is slightly weirded out, but we love it! The room is transformed and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

So happy with my purchase of sheer curtains along with roller blinds. So easy to install and fits perfectly. I have been buying iSeek shutters, blinds and now curtains for many years and cannot fault the quality, service and fast delivery. The S fold is beautiful and it makes the sheer curtains flow perfectly. It really softens the room and gives an amazing feel to the whole picture.

This has been a very easy DIY experience for us. The instructions and videos were helpful and straightforward. Once hung, the curtains transformed our room into a very dramatic and stylish area. I will say those curtains were HEAVY and we were quite comical balancing them on our heads (high ceilings!) as we hooked them up!! All in all a very cost effective and easy experience. We especially like that they match our cat!
Because the sheers are affordable it didn’t hurt to hire someone through Airtasker to install them. They did a great job and we love our curtains. They change the look and feel of our dining room completely and we can’t wait to purchase more for our bedrooms.
These curtains are gorgeous, I have the same for my living room but will hang them in the cooler months .. the experience of DIY was extremely easy and fuss-free!! It took about 30 minutes to put the track, brackets and curtains up … I would highly recommend iSeek for all your window dressing needs.
We decided to use iSeekBlinds for our bedroom blinds and curtains as the online help videos made installation look so easy and to our surprise it was! The cost was also so much cheaper than any other quotes we had received. The blinds and curtains look fantastic and we have decided to replicate this look throughout the rest of the house.
