Moving in to my first home with my husband a few years ago left us needing a vast array of household items. As we had previously lived at home we ended up buying almost everything you can think of for our home including this black out roller blind for the bedroom! We bought this because initially when moving in we had been using curtains that my Mum had given us, however these were not sufficient in keeping the sunlight out and I was getting woken up very early in the morning after not going to be until the small hours after working evenings at my job. I can see on the Argos website that this blind currently retails for £16.96, however when looking on my ...  Read the complete review

~Black out blinds from Argos~ *********************** Some time ago when I was looking for a set of black out style blinds to help block out the summer sun a little in the early mornings I ended up buying a set of these Colour Match blinds, one of which was the 5 foot version of the product. I noticed from looking at the store catalogue that the blinds came in a good range of colours, from which I made my selection. I must admit that at the time of purchase I asked whether it was possible to view the blinds prior to buying them so as to ensure they were exactly what I was looking for. In store I was allowed to open the boxes that the blinds ...  Read the complete review

When we first moved into my old house from the house before that, I found that there was a major problem with me sleeping in the front room (something I had always done, even as a baby). That problem was the fact that we had moved from a 4 bedroom semi in the countryside with nothing around it for about 100 metres all around other than grass, to a 2 bedroom terrace-style house on a busier street that had streetlighting. Both the cars driving up and down it, and the street light itself, cast far too much light for my liking and I simply couldn't sleep at all. I was used to my room being dark, pitch dark, and I knew that unless I did something about it, I was going to be ..  Read the complete review

When we first moved into our home I bought some really nice curtains for our bedroom, I also bought my 2 cats from my parents home and we got a new kitten. Unfortunately these nice new curtains seemed to attract all the cats who would hide behind them and play, stretch up them and sharpen their claws and my youngest loved to take a flying leap and swing from them. Needless to say the curtains were slowly ruined and I recently replaced them with a roller blind which so far has been cat proof! I love things in my home to be colour co co-ordinated and buy quite a lot from the Argos Colour Match range, I got my roller blind from here too. The Argos ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~ Blackout blind ~~~~~~~~~~ Before my son was born, we needed to do a few things to make his little room ready. I didn't want to do too much to the room, as it is quite small and I felt that if I went for a theme it may be too much in the room. But one thing I did need was a blackout blind for the window. I wanted to go for a nice, neutral colour, and didn't have much money to spend, so I immediately decided to check what Argos had. These thermal blackout blinds are part of the Argos Colour Match range, and come in a wide range of sizes and colours. The colour we opted for was apple green, but you can also get this in pink, blue, ...  Read the complete review
