To buy some nets

[WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream]

So, my vertical blinds in my living room have seen better days and need replacing. AIBU to be considering getting some nets?!

I think they are quite pretty and money being tight they are the cheaper option to cover my two large windows.

What do you think? Will I be made a laughing stock of in our street

Can you not get some off Amazon @SluttyButty ? You can buy the wire with hooks and eyes too on there

I've got non regular sized windows so I'd need made to measure and due to crappy hands I'd need those rods BUT these have caught my eye instead!

I have plain nets, I'm the only one on my street - ALL the neighbors just have tied back curtains so you can see straight in, I find it so strange 🤨

Dunelm do a nice selection of voiles

We have plain boiled with a slight bobble effect here and there. Not too busy but one step up from plain. Dunelm has some good options

Boiled? Fecking predictive text. Voiles darling, voiles!

😂 Jamie I was wondering if boiled was a type I'd never heard of.

I thought you meant 'boiled washed' haha

How do you pronounce voile? Rhymes with oil or french sounding vwull?!

I love our vertical blinds downstairs.

i don't like nets but needed something for our lounge as there is footpath by our front garden. i got these voiles from Wilko and they look ok and do a pretty good job plus are cheap.

I say it to rhyme with oil.
I am overlooked and have plain voiles from Wilko. They do tension rods too.

I love nets / lace / voiles / whatever you want to call them. They’re pretty and traditional and I can’t wait to dress my windows with them when my renovation is finished.

So there.

user yes ver-oil

Me too. Much better than glaring sunlight and nosy pedestrians.
Not keen on blinds or shutters.

Reality I still really shamefully love my lacy jardinières I had in the 80's 🤔

I pronounce it like "foil" but with a v.

I got some lovely silvery white voiles from ponden mills. They are bang on trend and not at all old fashioned looking.

I have at admit to having thought about getting them.

I absolutely hate plantation shutters - especially the ones where the hinges don't match up with the frames of windows.

I've had voiles since forever, i don't like people looking in, we live near a school so get a lot of people passing by.
They aren't like nets they're very pretty in fact. much prefer them over blinds. hate blinds!

I have privacy blinds. They look more modern than nets from the inside.

@BackToTheFuschia7 can you check my link above, is this what you have? If so do they really work?

These aren’t too bad www.dunelm.com/product/lille-ivory-slot-top-voile-panel-1000102076?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI17qD37jC2wIVo7DtCh2aVAG6EAQYAiABEgKrV_D_BwE&adType=showcase_product

I have lovely John Lewis voiles - 2 per window on a curtain pole so that I can open and close them as I want. Love them.

@SluttyButty Yes mine are like that and they do work really well. You can’t see through them from outside but they let loads of light through on the inside. I got mine from dunelm and trimmed them to size with a junior hacksaw. Really easy I promise and could save you some money! Ikea also do them.
