Curtains and blinds both are generally used while decorating rooms in order to stop the entrance of light into the rooms. Each of these two has its own specialties and benefits. They are helpful in creating a peaceful and luxurious indoor environment. 

No doubt curtains as well as blinds both are used for the above mentioned purposes. However, when it comes to selecting one of these two, there are several parameters and factors , you need to consider. 

Here, we will discuss some of the factors you need to look at while choosing one among the curtains and blinds. At the same time you will come to know about the reasons why one should prefer curtains over blinds.

• Complete blockage of light by blinds:

We know that blinds block the light completely and that’s why they are comparatively less suitable. Because the complete blockage of light may make a room or house look more like an office. So, curtains are preferred over blinds in order to avoid this effect. 

• Bending capacity:

Another factor which makes the curtains better than blinds is their bending capacity. The blinds once applied or fixed remain in that position which is one of their drawbacks. Curtains help greatly in this regard.  You can easily bend the curtains in order to make them fix in the windows or make them compatible with the place where they are going to be used. 

• Insulation :

Another feature which gives preference to curtains over blinds is the insulation. In addition to blockage of light, curtains provide best insulation against the outer environment. During winter, they provide resistance against the entrance of cold to the indoor environment. During summer season, they restrict the entrance of sun rays into the rooms, eventually leading to the maintenance of temperature in the limit. Which leads to the reduced usage of air conditioners and thus reducing the electricity usage and reduction in energy bills.

• Easily controllable:

Another benefit of using curtains is that they are easy to control. So, you can easily adjust them in accordance with the requirements and needs. For example when you need some airy or sunlight environment, you can remove them. And when you need to block the sunlight , you can place them again.

• Reliable and budget friendly:

Curtains are more reliable and budget friendly as compared to blinds. Blinds are usually less reliable and they deteriorate easily. At the same time they are costly too. In contrast with blinds, curtains are less costly and more reliable. Hence we can say that choosing curtains instead of blinds would be a better option.

Conclusion:

Although, both curtains and blinds are used commonly for the purpose of blocking sunlight and creating a comfortable indoor environment. But if you need to know which of these two can be regarded as a preferable option, the above mentioned factors and aspects can help you a lot in this regard. 

Thus you can easily opt the better , which would be definitely curtains.
