“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

Roman blinds are becoming more and more popular every year but have you ever wondered why?

Here are our top 10 reasons for choosing a roman blind over curtains:

1. This type of dressing is perfect for smaller windows, which could be overwhelmed by a pair of curtains. Perfect for cottage windows, a roman blind will sit neatly within the recess without taking up any space either side of the window.

2. If you're a fan of a particular design range but can't decide between two fabrics, then have both! You could use one for the curtains and a co-ordinating fabric for the blind. Choosing two fabrics from the same collection is a guarantee that they will sit well together and compliment each other perfectly.

3. Perhaps you favour a clean, contemporary, minimalist look. Roman blinds are the ideal choice for this situation, as they have no fussy frills or extra fabric. A roman blind uses the minimum of material and looks like a flat piece of fabric when closed. It folds up concertina style to create smart, sharp folds.

4. If you have a radiator sitting directly under your window covering it with a pair of curtains will ensure that the majority of the heat produced goes up behind the curtains and sits between them and the window. A blind will cover only the window itself offering protection from draughts whilst still allowing the heat to circulate.

5. If you have a wide window or a bay window then the amount of curtaining needed to cover the window will be considerable. Opening and closing such heavy curtains twice a day can become a real bind. It's much easier to fit a pair of dress curtains and then use one or more roman blinds to swiftly open and close each morning and evening.

6. As a roman blind uses less fabric than a pair of curtains, you can use a large, bold or colourful pattern without fear of overkill.

7. Using a roman blind allows you to lower the blind to protect from the glare of the sun. The pleating style gives plenty of option between open and closed depending on how low the sun is.

8. As blinds site in the recess or just outside the recess of the window then they use considerably less fabric than a pair of curtains would. This means that it can be 25% cheaper to fit a roman blind than a pair of curtains.

9. Roman blinds can be the ideal choice for a kitchen or bathroom in which you don't want lots of bulky fabric hanging over your sink or taking up precious space.

10. A door curtain can become annoying as ease of opening and closing the door can be compromised with lots of bulky fabric in the area. A roman blind can be fixed directly onto a glazed door making life much easier.

So there you have our top ten reasons for choosing a roman blind. If we've converted you to the appeal of a roman blind, click here to view our extensive range:

They create jobs, they are generous sponsors of local events and charities. How can you help? One simple way. Stuff and 2degrees have launched a Shop Local campaign, which offers a prize of $20,000 towards marketing and advertising for one Tauranga business to help it stay on top of whatever challenges Covid-19 has thrown at them. A judging panel will decide on the winning businesses. There will also be a People’s Choice winner and that business will also receive a $20,000 marketing and advertising package. Voting for the People’s Choice will take place on Stuff in September. So encourage any business you love to enter now by going to 2degrees.nz/ShopLocal.

This is actually the second year this Shop Local campaign has run. 2degrees has been championing local businesses well before the current Covid crisis. 2degreesChief Business Officer Andrew Fairgray says they are behind Shop Local because: “We know local businesses are at the heart of where we live and give our community its distinctive spirit. This is a great opportunity for a local business to raise their profile and get some tangible help in $20,000 worth of marketing and advertising. It also gives us the opportunity to celebrate the positive, hardworking business and encourage the local community to shop locally,” he says.
