Good blinds do more than just cover a window they can change how your entire office feels, and anyone who has ever worked in a bad office, how your workspace feels can make all the difference for productivity.

If your office or commercial property is based in Preston, Leyland, Fulwood, Chorley, or anywhere across the North West, we’d love to help you find the right blinds for your space. We’ll bring samples to your office, so you don’t have to take too much time out of your day, and help you find your perfect office blinds. We’ll measure and fit everything so you get the perfect fit blinds with none of the hassle.

Getting The Light Right

Lighting in an office is so important. Too much direct sunlight can cause glare on screens, which quickly becomes tiring and distracting. Too little natural light and the office can feel gloomy and uninspiring. At it’s absolute worst case, the wrong lighting can lead to headaches for your team, it’s crucial you get the lighting right.

For offices we typically suggest roller blinds because they’re clean, simple, and easy to adjust throughout the day. If screen glare is a real problem in your space, blackout blinds are worth considering, they block light almost entirely and are particularly useful in rooms used for presentations or video calls. On the other hand, sheer or light-filtering blinds let in a soft, diffused light that keeps the space feeling bright without the harsh afternoon sun.

At your site visit we’ll talk to you about how each room is used and take you through the different options available to you so you get the right blinds.

Privacy Matters

Depending on where your office is based, privacy can be a genuine concern. Ground floor offices on busy streets in Preston or Chorley town centres, for example, may need a bit more thought when it comes to what passers-by can see. Nobody wants clients or competitors peering in during an important meeting!

The good news is that you don’t have to block out the world entirely to get the privacy you need. Our vision roller blinds are made up of alternating fabric panels or translucent and opaque fabric so you can adjust them to let as little or as much light in as you want. They will also obscure screens from passers by from privacy and reduce the amount of prying eyes into confidential workspaces.

Match Your Blinds To Your Brand

It’s easy to treat blinds as an afterthought, but they’re actually one of the most visible features of any room. The right blinds can tie a whole office together, while the wrong ones can look out of place no matter how well everything else is put together.

Neutral tones work well in most professional settings because they’re versatile and easy to pair with almost any office decorations you already have. If your brand has a strong identity or you’re in a creative industry, there’s nothing wrong with going bolder. A bright colour can make a real statement and give visitors a great first impression. The key is making sure your blinds work with what’s already in the room rather than against it. If you’re not sure where to start, a free design visit from one of our team is a great way to get some advice before you commit to your ideal blinds.

That’s the beauty of an office design visit, you can view different samples without having to order multiple samples, waiting for delivery and sending back the wrong colours. With Blinds of Preston, you can pick your perfect blinds stress free.

Easy to Use Office Blinds

In a busy office, you need blinds that are quick and easy to adjust without any fuss. If your team is constantly stopping to wrestle with a complicated mechanism or try and find the remote, it won’t take long before the blinds start to irritate your team.

For most offices, a simple roller or venetian blind with a chain or wand mechanism is perfectly fine and very easy to operate day to day. However, if you have large windows, high ceilings, or windows that are difficult to reach, motorised blinds are well worth considering. With a remote control or even a smart home integration, adjusting the light in your space takes just a second.

The key is to find blinds that work for your space and your budget. What works for once office won’t work for another and that’s why we always recommend a site visit so we can go through all of your options and tailor your new blinds to your business.

Low Maintenance Office Blinds

Office blinds can pick up dust surprisingly quickly, they’re easily forgotten as part of regular cleaning routines. If low maintenance is a priority for you, it’s worth thinking about materials that are easy to wipe down.

Faux wood Venetian blinds and aluminium Venetian blinds are both brilliant choices for offices because they’re incredibly easy to clean. To get them looking as good as new you really just need to give them a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Roller blinds made from wipe-clean fabrics are another solid option.
