6 TIPS TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOURS FOR YOUR BLINDS

Once you have decided to purchase new blinds, the next obstacle you will likely face is what colour would be right for your interiors. While some people seem to choose the perfect colours almost effortlessly, others may require professional assistance to determine colours that look good in their homes or offices.

Basically, the colour you choose for the blinds will depend on whether you wish to project the window area or draw attention away from it. Other aspects that may influence your choice of colours include current trends, privacy requirements and the decor style.

With the incredible variety of colours available these days, it can be tough to decide on that ‘perfect’ colour that will complement the overall look of the room. If you are having a hard time finalizing a colour for your blinds, here are six tips for choosing the right colours while buying blinds.

1. Choosing colours that match your window trims

If you prefer to go with the so-called ‘safe options’, you can try matching the colours of the blinds with the colour of your window trim. Most of the time, trims come in white or subtle shades. So matching colour blinds will turn out to be neutral shades that do not stand out or make an impression but rather blend in with the rest of the decor.

2. Make the room seem larger or smaller

If your room is rather small, you can make it seem more spacious by choosing light coloured blinds for your windows. And if the room is huge with big windows, dark-coloured blinds can add more definition to the space and make it look more inviting.

3. Choosing colours that match with wall colours

Choosing the same colour blinds as your wall colour is also a great way to ensure that you achieve a certain level of sync in your overall decor. If the same colour looks a bit intimidating, try choosing blinds that are a few shades lighter than your wall colour. This style is currently trending and is likely to be ‘in’ for a considerable time.

4. Bring in the elegance of wood

if your room features signature wooden pieces such as antique furniture, a study table, a chest of drawers or exquisitely carved chairs, you can effectively highlight the effect by choosing wooden blinds. This will bring a warm and rich feeling to your room.

5. Go for bold colours

Experimenting with unusual colours is highly recommended if your home or office features a contemporary decor style. You could choose contrasting colours or darker shades in the same colour scheme to bring in an element of vividness.

6. Keep an eye on your budget

Are you buying new blinds just for one room or for all rooms in your house? If you have severe budget constraints, it would be a good idea to go for your chosen colour in select rooms and more economically priced colours in others. Generally, blinds intended for larger windows and customized colours are likely to be on the higher side.

These tips for choosing the right colours while buying blinds will hopefully make it easier for you to upgrade your home with new blinds. Ultimately, it is your personal choice. You get to decide what colour of blinds would adorn your interiors.

If you still cannot make up your mind, get in touch with a designer or professional blinds consultant. These professionals will be able to offer you amazing ideas on the colours that will go well with your general decor theme. Professionals can also help you choose the right type of blinds and provide blinds installation.
