1. A Refined Ambiance: Installing Aura Day Night Blinds in a New Build Home
We recently wrapped up an exciting project, fitting our Aura Blinds into a newly constructed home in Strabane, Co Tyrone. Working closely with our design consultant, Mark, the homeowners selected the perfect window blinds to complement their home’s clean and contemporary aesthetic. After exploring various options, they settled on our Copenhagen Grey Aura Fabric paired with an Anthracite Fascia and Bottom Bar.
2. The Sophistication of Aura Day Night Blinds For New Build Homes
Aura Blinds have swiftly become a favoured choice for new build homes, owing to their sleek, modern design and practicality. The clean lines and horizontal banding offer an architectural touch that harmonizes seamlessly with modern construction. The unique day/night fabric of Aura Blinds allows homeowners to filter daylight and ensure privacy when the blinds are lowered.
Aligning the horizontal fabric bands seamlessly when multiple blinds are adjacent on the same wall can pose a challenge. To achieve meticulous alignment from blind to blind, our team takes extremely precise measurements, manufactures each blind to milimetre perfect specifications, and installs them with great care. The end result is an elegant display of Aura Blinds with flawlessly continuous bands of fabric across all windows.

3. Curating the Ideal Aura Blind Design
When Mark, our design consultant, initially met with the homeowners, they expressed a desire for a sleek, modern aesthetic using the large full-height windows and corner windows throughout the home. Simultaneously, they wanted to infuse warmth and character into the contemporary concrete and steel construction.
The rooms where the blinds were to be added included a large open plan dining room, a living room space as well as a utility are.
With the homeowners’ vision in mind, Mark focused on fabric recommendations in subdued tones such as greys, taupes, and lighter wood shades, aligning well with the modern style while adding a touch of softness. After narrowing down the fabric selection, the homeowners settled on Copenhagen Grey Aura Fabric, feeling it struck the right balance of sleekness and warmth.
For the fascia and other hardware crucial to the overall aesthetic, Mark recommended finishes like brushed steel or anthracite grey to match the home’s structural elements. Anthracite offered the right mix of richness and sheen, making it the ideal choice to accentuate the Copenhagen Grey day/night fabric.
When it comes to controlling the Aura Blinds, Mark took the customer through the multiple options available, including convenient motorisation, and simple chain operated control, with the customer opting for chain operated.

Even with detailed measurements, flawlessly aligning multiple Aura Blinds requires tremendous technical skill and precision.

Our installation team, seasoned from numerous Aura blind applications, used their considerable skills to position brackets perfectly on the window expanses. Anthracite fascia bars were cut to exact lengths for each blind, with every component methodically labeled for efficient matching during hanging.
As the Aura Blinds were mounted to the fascia and brackets, the vertical blind drops had to be calibrated to ensure identical alignment of horizontal fabric bands. Thanks to precise measurements and fabrication, very few adjustments were needed during installation.
