How To Choose The Colour Of Your Blinds

Deluxe Shutters & Blinds products are a stunning addition to any space, offering high quality, uniqueness and versatility. Whether you’re interested in sprucing up your home, adding a pop of colour or incorporating more of your personal style, we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’ll outline defining product features and the key factors to consider when it comes to selecting and styling your blinds.

The type of blinds you choose can significantly impact which colours and patterns will look best in your room. Deluxe Shutters & Blinds has a gorgeous range of varying styles, including:

Panel glides: Panel glides consist of large panels of fabric that slide along a track to cover a window and are often used for large windows or sliding glass doors.

Roller blinds: These blinds use a piece of fabric that rolls up or down on a cylinder to cover a window, offering a simple and affordable option for covering windows.

Roman blinds: Roman blinds consist of a piece of fabric that is folded up into pleats when raised and lays flat when lowered, often used for a more decorative, tailored look.

Venetian blinds: Venetian blinds are horizontal slats made of wood, metal, or plastic that can be tilted to control the amount of light entering a room. They’re a popular choice for both privacy and light control.

Vertical blinds: Vertical blinds are vertical slats made of fabric, wood, metal, or plastic that can be rotated to control the amount of light entering a room. They’re a great choice for sliding glass doors or large windows.

The type and shape of your windows is another consideration when selecting blinds. Darker colours can be used to create a dramatic effect on larger windows, while lighter colours can help make a smaller window appear larger. If you’re windows are uniquely shaped or more contemporary in style, they could suit a bold pattern or colour, while windows of more traditional styles will likely suit a timeless neutral colour palette.

Most homeowners will aim to achieve a cohesive feel across rooms, so it’s important to consider the existing aesthetic of your home. If your home features largely neutral colours, you might like to continue that theme or consider using your blinds to add a pop of colour or an interesting pattern. The design of your home will also determine whether certain styles, patterns and colours will fit with your existing space.

What room will your blinds be installed in? Each room has a specific function and atmosphere that should be considered when selecting your blinds. For example, a bedroom should promote relaxation and restfulness, which can be achieved with warmer, calming tones like grey and beige.

Both neutral and vibrant colour palettes offer unique features and benefits for homeowners. Neutrals offer a sense of calm and are great for reflecting natural light or providing a backdrop for other décor elements, while vibrant colours and patterns will produce loud, bright and fun energy. 

Neutral colours, like white or beige, are a popular choice for blinds due to their versatility and timelessness. They can also create depth and make a room feel brighter and more spacious. And as a feature you’re likely not going to want to replace anytime soon, it’s also a safe bet that neutrals will always be in style.
