HERE’S HOW LIGHT FILTERING BLINDS CAN BRING IN THE LIGHT WHILE MAINTAINING YOUR PRIVACY
Who doesn’t love natural light? From increasing the value of your property to improving your well-being, and even just helping you to see things more clearly, natural light has a lot going for it. So, how can you maximise natural light in your home or business? The answer is light filtering blinds.
Love your home with our range of light filtering blinds
Light, glorious light! Our light filtering blinds allow you to enjoy a natural glow while being able to control how much sun you let in, all while maintaining your privacy.

Go colourful or neutral
Window furnishings can be styled to either blend in with your interiors or stand out as a bold statement. Light filtering blinds can afford you the option of coordinating with neutral tones while letting other interior elements like paint or furniture be the hero. Alternatively, choosing colour and texture with linen-look weaves and jacquard fabrics can make your window dressings a statement that you can complement with soft furnishings.
Commercial light filtering blinds to consider
Our Transitional Light range is a light filtering fabric that provides day and night-time privacy for any room.

The fabric for this collection is lead and PVC free making it ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Everything you need to know about your sheer curtains and light filtering blinds
Sheer curtains are a soft, elegant window covering that filter natural light into your home while maintaining daytime privacy. Curtains are hung from tracks or rods and can be made in a variety of designs including s-fold, pinch pleat, pencil pleat, eyelet, and more. Typically, curtains run to the floor and are often teamed with a room-darkening blockout curtain for night-time privacy and added insulation.
Light filtering blinds are very popular in Australian homes because they are minimalistic and versatile, offering excellent light control options. They offer privacy both day and night. Blinds can also be double hung on a duo bracket which means you can team a light filtering blind with a block out or transitional blind to give you more control of light and privacy. Light filtering fabrics are suitable for roller, and panel blinds.
Veri Shades® is a revolutionary new technology that combines the look of curtains with the functionality of blinds. They transition from day to night privacy at the twist of a wand.
All our curtain and blind options can be motorised for effortless operation. Talk to the expert team at Carpet Court about how you can make your place a smart home.
Light filtering, sheer and semi-sheer - what is the difference?
Light filtering fabrics offer more privacy than sheer and semi-sheer curtains. During the day, light filtering fabrics allow the same amount of light into a room as sheer curtains. However, at night, a light filtering fabric offers privacy, while a sheer or semi-sheer curtain does not. This is something to keep in mind for your window treatments if you live on a busy street with foot traffic directly outside.
Quality sheer curtains and light filtering blinds at affordable prices
Carpet Court has excellent relationships with leading manufacturers of high-quality window furnishings. No matter the price point in our range, we never compromise on quality. So, you can rest assured that even our more affordable options, like the Contemporary Light Filter range, don’t compromise where it counts.
Sheer curtains vs light filtering blinds - what is the difference?
Sheer curtains are made from lightweight fabrics, and they cover your entire window, often running to the floor. They provide daytime privacy, diffuse light, and provide softness and movement.
Light filtering roller blinds are the same size as your window and, like sheer curtains, they provide privacy, light control, and sun protection, however, they are slightly more versatile because you can adjust their height or open and close them completely.
Light filtering panel blinds tend to run to the ground like curtains and can be opened, closed, or drawn across with a wand.
Veri Shades® looks like sheer curtains but have the versatility of [RM1] [Ma2] blinds. A wand allows you to flick them from day privacy to night privacy and, when hung in doorways, you can walk through them at any point because the fabric folds separate effortlessly around you.
