In this episode, Janey and Penny are joined by Helen from Dynz Designz, specialists in window treatments that don’t just look good—they work for the way you live. From honeycomb blinds and curtains to shutters and automation, Helen explains how to choose window treatments that balance aesthetics, thermal efficiency, light, and privacy. Whether you’re building or renovating, this conversation highlights why window treatments need to be considered early in the design process and how they can even become statement pieces in your home.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• The challenges of window treatments and why they’re often considered tricky
• Thermal efficiency, light control, and privacy: what to consider from the outset
• The best products for different needs: honeycomb blinds, roller blinds, curtains, and shutters
• Mistakes to avoid when selecting blinds and curtains, and why function matters as much as form
• How window treatments can act as functional art with custom fabrics, prints, and textures
• Tips on longevity and caring for natural fabrics like linen and cotton
• Automation and motorised options: planning, installation, and emerging trends
• Solutions for tricky windows, including shaped and gable-end designs
• Helen’s dream project if budget wasn’t a constraint
  
  

Reflections from Helen:

• “Honeycomb blinds are your go-to for thermal efficiency—they keep warmth in and reflect light back out.”
• “Curtains, blinds, and shutters should be planned from the very start—it’s too late to fix once the house is built.”
• “Window treatments can be a form of functional art, reflecting personality and style in a space.”
• “Automation and motorised solutions are changing what’s possible, especially for shaped windows.”
