Measure Your Windows and Select Appropriate Blinds
The first step is to accurately measure your windows so you can find blinds that fit properly. Note the window’s height and width, whether it’s inside or outside mount, and any obstructions like handles that the blinds will need to clear.
Once you have your measurements, browse different blind styles like roller blinds, vertical blinds, and wood or faux wood blinds. Make sure to pick blinds that are suitable for your window size and mounting style.
Complement Your Room’s Color Scheme
Match or coordinate your window blinds with the existing paint colors, furniture, and accents in your room. Warm wood blinds can accentuate earthy décor, while cool-toned grays or blues help bright white rooms pop.
In bathrooms and kitchens, choose materials like aluminum or vinyl that can withstand moisture. For bedrooms, look for room-darkening shades to block light for sleeping.
Select Blinds That Fit the Function of the Room
Consider how you use the room when picking window blinds. For living rooms, choose adjustable blinds that let in natural light but also provide privacy.
In bathrooms, look for aluminum blinds which are moisture-resistant. Pick durable blinds for kids’ rooms or play areas. Focus on privacy for bedrooms and noise muffling for nurseries.
Use Blinds to Direct Natural Light
Strategically place blinds to control light and create an inviting ambiance in your space. Use dual shades, with some that filter light and others that block it out entirely.
Direct the light upwards to brighten a dark room, or angle blinds downwards for a cozier dining area. Adjust vertical blinds to let in light from the sides.
Incorporate Textures and Patterns
Go beyond basic solid blinds and experiment with different patterns. Patterned blinds like stripes, florals, or checks infuse personality.
Pair textured faux-wood blinds with rustic furniture, or try woven shades for a beach house vibe. Bold patterns can anchor minimalist décor, while soft floral prints complement cottage rooms.
Consider Blinds That Align with Your Décor Style
