Home Office Blinds 
 
 
There are a growing number of people who regularly or always 
work from home.  Those who have been doing this successfully 
have worked out how best to split their work life from home 
life. Now unfortunately, with coronavirus (COVID-19) there are 
many millions more people working from home.  Some will 
hate it and some will find it suits them perfectly. 
 
Ideally, you need a quiet, comfortable space that is your home 
office.  In some cases, you may have a home office room or a 
spare room with a desk and computer in the corner.  For many 
of the people who have found themselves working from home 
unexpectedly due to coronavirus, their office may be sitting at 
a laptop at the kitchen or dining room table.   
 
 
 
We can’t tell you how to do your job at home but what we do 
know from previous clients is that you need an area where 
your computer screen and desk aren’t blinded by sunlight.  The 
best way to do that is to install window blinds.  Yes, you can 
shut your curtains but who wants to sit in the dark with only 
electric light on a beautiful sunny day.  
 
 
 
 
At Forth Blinds, we supply and fit a wide range of made-to-
measure window blinds.  We can supply the perfect blinds to 
suit your home décor and meet your requirements. 
 
 
 
Benefits of Home Office Blinds 
Roller Blinds 
 
 
 
Roller blinds are easy to fit and are available in hundreds of 
colours and patterns.  We can even supply environmentally 
friendly blinds or personal printed blinds. When the sunlight is 
not on your screen you can roll the blind up so you can see 
outside and get the benefits of daylight but as the sun moves 
round and starts to shine into your room you can gradually roll 
them down but still get some sunlight. 
 
 
 
 
 
Venetian Blinds 
 
 
 
Venetian blinds are horizontal 
slatted blinds.  The slats can 
be made from PVC, 
aluminium or wood and they 
are also available in many 
colours.  For blocking sun 
glare, they are extremely 
flexible.  As with roller blinds, 
they can be pulled down 
covering the whole window, 
or just pulled partway down. 
 
 
 
However, they have the additional benefit of being able to 
move the horizontal slats. You can angle them so that you get 
some daylight in your room but prevent the glare on your work 
area. 
 
If you have uPVC windows, you can install Perfect Fit Venetian 
blinds which have the benefit of no dangling cords. Not only do 
they look very slick and tidy but they are much safer if you 
have young children. 
 
 
 
Vertical Blinds 
 
Vertical blinds have a similar 
look to venetian blinds with 
the exception that their 
louvres are vertical instead 
of horizontal.  They are ideal 
for tall windows but can be 
used in any size of window.   
As with Venetian Blinds they 
are excellent for shading 
your room for the exact 
amount you wish as the 
blind can be opened, closed 
or closed with the louvres 
tilted.
