Canberra Blinds Centre: Getting the most from spring living at home
Spring is a season of rejuvenation and renewal. What better way to embrace this season of growth and change than by transforming your home into a bright, stylish haven to enjoy? Whether it’s creating a backyard oasis, managing light and climate inside or something else, there are indoor and outdoor solutions to enhance any home.
Bringing the Outdoors In
With spring comes the end of winter and more opportunities to immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Indoor and outdoor blind, curtain and awning solutions can help you seamlessly integrate the outdoors with your interior living spaces.
Curtains and blinds can brighten your rooms, keep the costs of cooling and heating down, provide privacy when you need it, and add the personal touches that make a house a home. There are blinds, curtains and shutters in an exciting suite of colours, fabrics and materials with a focus on features such as energy-efficient and child-safe options. You might even like to indulge in luxury offerings or explore innovative technology with the latest in motorisation.
Head outside to savour the spring breeze – rain, hail or shine. Shutters, roller doors, retractable roof solutions and more can help protect your house against the elements and create comfortable outdoor spaces where you can be outside year-round.
Whether you have a spacious patio or a cosy balcony, outdoor blinds and awnings can create comfortable, shaded spaces where you can relax for your morning coffee or host an alfresco dinner party. We believe quality and function go hand in hand. Discover UV and weatherproof fabrics, contemporary styles and innovative products.
A visit to the Canberra Blinds Centre display centre is the perfect way to explore all your options. Book a free design consultation! The team will get to know your space and tailor the perfect indoor or outdoor option for you and your budget.

Alliance Climate Control: Repair or replace your AC unit?
Your Air Conditioning system is a household essential, offering relief from scorching summer days, chilly winter nights and providing you and your family clean, healthy indoor air to breathe.
Like any appliance, it can develop issues over time and eventually stop working. Determining whether to repair or replace your air conditioner can be a difficult decision. Alliance Climate Control, your dedicated Air Conditioning specialist, offers this helpful advice.
If you are having frequent and costly repairs, this is a clear indication that a replacement system is necessary, especially if the warranty has expired and the unit is over 15 years old. Other signs include incorrect air temperature, reduced airflow, moisture leaks, short cycling, strange noises, odours, outdoor unit vibrations, excessive dust, acid formation or corrosion, and slow cooling. Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening underlying issues and increased energy bills.
A recent study has shown that replacing your air conditioner with a newer, improved, energy-efficient model can result in up to 46 per cent savings in energy costs. Upgrading to a new unit can yield substantial savings compared to repairing an old one. Additionally, a properly sized air conditioner ensures better temperature control, improved ventilation, and enhanced air quality. Advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity and occupancy sensors add convenience and efficiency to your daily life.
When deciding between repair and replacement, consider the extent and cost of the issues, repair frequency, unit efficiency, and size. Minor repairs and a unit with minimal repair history may make repair the better option. At Alliance Climate Control, we say the general rule of thumb is if the total repair costs for the air conditioner are not more than 50 per cent of the price of a brand-new unit, and your unit still has plenty of life in it, then repairing it can be the cost-effective solution for you.
Ultimately, replacing your air conditioner is a wise decision if your current unit consistently malfunctions and fails to deliver comfortable cooling. Improved technology, cost-effectiveness, better ventilation, and enhanced air conditioning performance make it an investment in home comfort and wellbeing.
By paying attention to subtle signs and considering the benefits of replacement versus repair, our team of qualified technicians can help you make an informed decision. If you experience any of the mentioned indicators or are contemplating a more efficient system, it might be time to replace your air conditioner.
Speak to our team today, and don’t get caught out with a broken system this Spring-Summer season.

Create your forever home with Journey Home Interiors
I get plenty of calls from people who ask, “is my project too small to engage a designer?” And plenty of people can’t tell me why they need help and want me to “just come out and tell me where to start”. If you knew what you needed, you wouldn’t need a designer, right?
The truth is, as much as it thrills me to see whole magazine-worthy rooms come together like the projects you’ll see in our portfolio, not everybody has the budget to commit to whole rooms in one go. Many of you have stuff you just can’t part with.
If your decorating project has stalled because you are overwhelmed and just can’t seem to pull it together, now you can access help on just the parts you need. I am offering an a la carte design service, where you can choose from a menu of the different design tasks that I can help you with. I won’t lie, you will still need a small budget to work with as I can’t build it with matchsticks after all. If you book in a free 15-minute chat I can guide you about budget and the process to success.
I am an expert in making your home feel like home, so if your project covers these areas – carpets, rugs, paint, wallpaper, furniture, upholstery, curtains and blinds, cushions, lamps, lighting, and art – I’m your woman.
Narrowing down decisions is my superpower!
If your home is bursting at the seams, I can also help you audit your furnishings and show you how you might better arrange your furniture. Downsizers find this part very useful. A furniture plan is a fundamental for successful design, so my advice is to always start there.
We’ll pull your ideas together and make recommendations so you can confidently take action.
Avoid big ticket mistakes with a holistic plan to guide you to achieving your forever home. To get started, I invite you to visit my website to grab my free guides.
