Thinking about shutters or new blinds before winter really sets in?

One question we would always encourage you to ask is whether the window covering will improve the comfort of your room as well as its appearance.

A full-height shutter can provide an additional barrier across the glazing when closed. A honeycomb blind works differently, using pockets of air within the fabric to reduce heat transfer. Properly lined curtains can also help, particularly when they cover the window generously.

And there's another detail that is often overlooked: gaps around the fitting.

Even an excellent insulating material may deliver less benefit if the installation allows air to circulate freely around it.

For a bay window in Chesterfield, a cottage in the Peak District or a modern home with large glazing, the best option may be quite different.

Our latest blog compares the choices and explains how independent testing has measured their thermal performance.

Is your living room warm enough until you sit near the windows?

Even modern double glazing allows heat to escape, and large glazed areas can make a room feel noticeably cooler during autumn and winter.

One option worth considering is Luxaflex Duette honeycomb blinds. Their cellular construction traps air within the fabric, adding an insulating layer at the window.

Independent testing commissioned by the BBSA found that a specialist framed honeycomb blind reduced heat loss through the tested window by up to 32%.

The fitting arrangement matters just as much as the fabric, which is why choosing the right system for your particular windows is important.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds, we've been helping homeowners across Chesterfield, Buxton and the Peak District choose made-to-measure window coverings since 1991.

We've put together a practical guide comparing energy-saving blinds, shutters and curtains, including what the independent research actually tells us.

There’s a lovely garden view behind these kitchen blinds — watch it open up as the metal slats gather at the top.

That flexibility is part of the appeal of Venetian blinds. You can leave them lowered and tilt the slats to adjust the light, then raise them when you want the window uncovered.

Above a sink, the practical details deserve attention too. The blind needs to clear the tap, the slats need room to turn, and the controls should be comfortable to reach without leaning awkwardly across the worktop.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds in Chesterfield, we consider the fitting and everyday operation alongside your choice of colour and finish.

You shouldn’t need to find your phone just to lower a blind, unless that’s how you prefer to use it.
Some households want a straightforward remote. Others want app control as well, perhaps to manage compatible blinds around their daily routine. The right choice starts with how you live, rather than the longest list of features.
Tell us who uses the room, which windows are awkward to reach and what you would like to operate together. We can then discuss the blind, motor and controls as one purchase.
Our new guide explains what to consider before choosing electric blinds.

A shutter sample tells you about the finish. It doesn’t tell you whether the panels will open comfortably beside your sofa.

That’s why we look at the whole window when planning shutters: how the opening sections work, where the handles project and what sits nearby.

Most day-to-day adjustments involve tilting the louvres, so the panels can stay closed while you change the light and privacy. But you’ll still want sensible access for opening windows and cleaning the glass.

If you’re considering shutters, show us how you use the room as well as the look you like. Those small practical details help us recommend a layout you’ll be happy living with.

There’s a useful detail in this video: once the external screen raises, the glazing is uncovered again.

That gives you a choice throughout the day. Lower the screen when you want more screening or softer light, then raise it to enjoy the view. It also leaves the inside of the room free for your chosen curtains, blinds and furnishings.

Fabric selection makes a real difference. A more open weave can retain more of the outward view, while a denser fabric provides greater screening. Daytime privacy also depends on the light on either side, so we wouldn’t treat a screen as a replacement for bedroom curtains after dark.

The installation needs thought too. Cassette position, side guides and access through glazed doors should be considered together, particularly if you’re planning new windows or an extension.

Talk to Etienne Curtains & Blinds in Chesterfield about external screens for your home.

Watch how the light changes as these conservatory blinds come down.

The grey honeycomb cellular fabric takes the edge off the sunshine, while still allowing daylight into the room. And with motorised operation, there is no need to walk around adjusting each window blind by hand. Particularly handy when furniture makes the windows awkward to reach.

If you love your conservatory but find yourself moving seats to avoid the glare, it is worth talking through the fabric and control options. We can help you choose blinds that suit the room and how you use it.

A bedroom beside a street lamp has a different light problem from one that catches the early morning sun.
Tell us what you want the curtains to do before choosing the lining. We can consider the complete fabric construction and how the curtains will sit around your window, including the space they need when drawn back.

Autumn is often when you notice what your windows need. Perhaps the bedroom curtains let in too much early light, or the living room feels a little bare once the evenings draw in. Or the lounge as this install shows

When we help you choose made-to-measure curtains, we look beyond the fabric sample. The lining, heading and track matter just as much to the finished result. We can help you find a combination that looks right in the room and works for the way you use it.

If you’re planning new curtains in Chesterfield, pop in and have a look through the fabrics with us.
