I have a very neat one inch wide venetian blinds at 3 major windows my ensuite, the family bathroom and my kitchen. When we moved into our house way back in 2002, I wanted to have clean lines all round the windows and opted for simple drapes. However, when I decided to have the bathrooms and ensuite updated – well gutted and refurbed, after 4 years, took the dramatic decision to have pure white one inch blinds installed in each room. These matched perfectly the fantastic shade of white porcelain that was the new sanitary ware. Even today it’s wonderful to see the light sparkling off the good quality porcelian and a short whipe around with an e-cloth can cope wit the small amount of spillage in the kitchen particularly. The bathrooms were carpeted but now enjoy universal praise from the many visitors they receive throughout the season! The tiles are all mushroom seascape colour and with the still vibrant porcelain and shiny chrome, whatever, the weather and dullness outside the windows.
