When renovating your home or decorating a new one, you definitely need to think of ideas on how to dress the windows. Modern interior industry provides multiple options. While that is welcoming, it also makes it difficult to make a decision.

Among window dressing options, people often get confused about shutters and blinds. Should we get roller blinds or roller shutters? Both have their own advantages but ‘which is a better installation for the home windows’ is a common question.

The particular difference between the two is the manner of the fitting. Shutters are attached to the window frame and the blinds are fitted to the inside or above the window recess.
