Things to consider for your guest room
Providing light control
One of the first goals for your guest room window treatment makeover should prioritise — making your guests feel comfortable. To achieve this, providing adequate light control is an absolute must. Roller Blinds and Venetian Blinds are classic treatments that ensure your guests can rest undisturbed during those bright and early sunrises, as well as those pesky lights from bustling traffic. For a range of light filtering needs, we provide a complete range of options from our Blockout Roller Blinds to our Light Filtering and Room Darkening Roller Blinds, to our Zebra Roller Blinds.
Our Blockout Roller Blinds are guaranteed to prevent light coming in during the day and the glare from street lights shining through at night. Blockout Roller Blinds are perfect for guests working on screens or late-night travellers needing a sleep-in and a soothing sense of solitude. Each design comes with its range of colours and customisation options to fit your window perfectly.
Privacy and security
For the ultimate sense of privacy and locations needing reinforced protection, Aluminium Security Shutters provide the ideal solution to meet style and safety with sleek elegance. To enquire how we can create the perfect customised shutter order, get a quote for your windows.

To get this balance just right, explore our guide on colour coordination ideas for your window treatments. Colour matching is a central theme for any space as it informs your rooms and your furniture choice, but also how you define the mood of a space. This guide helps you bypass any confusion and gets right to providing the rules to navigate decorating.
In addition to designing by colour, you can easily achieve a theme with various window accessories to liven up your curtains.
