Simply put, the UK is a nation of pet lovers. From bunny huggers to people crazy for cats, we love creatures with two, four, six and even eight legs, but how do we keep them safe? While homes are comfy places for every living creature to live in, there are some obstacles to overcome when it comes to pet safety. Today, we’ll be showcasing our top picks for safe blinds for pets and people alike!

Perfect fit blinds for pet homes

One of the biggest challenges for pet parents and their windows is animals getting tangled up in the chords and causing chaos – potentially even harm to themselves. Luckily, perfect fit blinds remove the need for cords and chains as the blind clips directly into the uPVC window frame. With each style of perfect fit blinds being operated directly by hand, there are no dangling chains or cords and nothing for your furry or feathered friend to get stuck in. There is also a wide range of colours, fabrics, and patterns to consider helping you keep everyone healthy and safe while making your space more fashionable. 

Roller blinds for roaming pets

If you don’t have uPVC window frames, or perfect fit blinds just aren’t your cup of tea, you can consider other options including roller blinds. Roller blinds are a classic enjoyed in countless homes around the world. Roller blinds are great for pets because they can be rolled up to let your animal look out of the window upon their kingdom and since there are no slats, there is nothing to break or bend.

Illusion blinds for smaller pets

Illusion blinds are the perfect addition to any home with pets – especially smaller ones. Their innovative design filters subtle daylight into your room whilst allowing a view to the outside world which helps people and pets relax. With a twist of a wand, however, they deliver complete privacy and security. Moreover, because Illusion blinds don’t feature chains at the bottom, you can rest assured that your pets won’t get stuck and cause damage or hurt themselves.

The best fabrics for pet homes

All animals are amazing and full of personality, especially those we’ve domesticated over the years. That said, even the best trained dog, cat, rabbit, or chinchilla can have little accidents from time to time. From calls of nature to knocking pots and jars over, living with animals isn’t always super clean. Wipe clean and antibacterial fabrics are excellent choices for homes with pets. For pampered pets with their own space in the home, you could even consider thermal fabrics to help keep them toasty in the colder months. Prrfect!

At Blinds Direct, we understand the importance of pets and the need to keep them comfortable and safe. With a wide range of fabrics available in the styles listed above, you won’t need to compromise on style while keeping your furry friends safe.
