Since 2001, the Mental Health Foundation has been leading Mental Health Awareness week! Every year they pick a new theme and this year’s theme is Community! At BlindsbyPost, we believe that a sense of community begins at home. The spaces we live in, share, and welcome others play a key role in how we feel and connect with others.
Making It a Joint Choice!
In a world that often feels rushed, sometimes it’s the small, shared decisions that bring us closer together. At BlindsbyPost, we believe choosing the right blinds for your home can be one of those moments — especially when it’s done as a joint choice with the people who share the space! Home should feel like a reflection of everyone who lives there. Whether you’re decorating with a partner, sharing a flat with friends, or making decisions with the family, choosing blinds becomes more meaningful when it’s a collaborative experience. Passing around fabric swatches, holding them up to the light, imagining how they’ll look in the morning sun — it’s a chance to slow down and really listen to each other’s preferences and ideas. And when the final choice goes up on the window, it feels good knowing it was a decision made together.
At BlindsbyPost we offer free samples designed to help you explore your options without pressure. Browse our range of styles, colours, and fabrics online, and we’ll send them straight to your door! It’s a simple way to bring everyone into the process — no guesswork, no stress.
DIY That Brings People Together
Putting up blinds might seem like a solo task — but it doesn’t have to be. With our easy-to-follow installation guides and support resources, it’s a great opportunity for families, friends, or housemates to team up on a simple home update!
Whether you’re a parent decorating your child’s bedroom, or flatmates freshening up a shared living space, working on a DIY project together helps build connection and shared accomplishment.
Top Tip: Next time you have a DIY project, rather than trying to accomplish the task solo, why not include family members and friends to spend quality time together! Remember if your DIY task is installing our blinds tag our social @blindsbypost and #YesBlindsbypost to be featured on our socials for the rest of the community to see!
Creating a Welcoming Space for Others
Your home is more than just your personal space, it’s a place to gather, host, and share. Something as simple as updating your blinds can make a room feel more inviting and cosy for guests! The atmosphere we create in our homes can help others feel welcome! Whether it’s letting in natural light for a morning coffee with friends, or adding privacy for an evening meal with family, blinds help set the scene for meaningful moments.
Here are a few more top tips for how adding BlindsbyPost Blinds to your home can help care for your mental wellbeing!
Control of Light- Natural light has a huge impact on mood, sleep, and mental clarity. Blinds let you control how much light enters your space! From soft morning sun to total blackout for rest.
A good night sleep- A good night’s sleep is essential for mental wellbeing, helping your brain process emotions and reduce stress. Blackout blinds block out light pollution, creating a dark, calming space that supports deeper, uninterrupted sleep. Better sleep means better mood, focus throughout the day!
Privacy and Security- Knowing you can create a private, secure space helps reduce anxiety and makes your home feel safer! We suggest investing in Motorised Blinds as you can schedule them to open and close at set times of the day meaning you can make your home look occupied even when it’s not!
