Choosing Between Patterned Or Plain Blinds
No matter which room you’re choosing blinds for, one of your top considerations is always going to be whether to opt for patterned or plain window coverings. There are pros and cons of choosing either a single colour or a pattern for your blinds, and here we take a closer look at how you can go about making the right decision for you.
Consider Your Décor
Perhaps the most important thing to bear in mind when deciding between patterned or plain blinds is your room’s existing décor.
Unless you’re planning to give the entire space a complete makeover, you’ll want your new window coverings to be in keeping with your existing colour scheme and theming, and that will have an impact on whether you decide to go for a single colour or a pattern for your blinds.
Avoiding Clutter And Confusion
If your room already features patterned wallpaper it makes sense to avoid adding even more detail by bringing in patterned blinds as well. You would only run the risk of making the space look cluttered, confusing, and overwhelming.
It’s also likely that you’d struggle to find a pattern that complements your existing colourful furnishings and wallpaper, and that would result in a clashing aesthetic that would probably do your room no favours.
Making A Focal Point
On the other hand, if you have a very plain room with neutral walls and a lot of neutral, single-coloured furnishings, you may well find that some patterned blinds bring some focus and much-needed visual interest to your space.
Rooms look at their best when the eye is drawn to a single area, and some stylish patterned blinds are a great way to achieve this. When paired with minimalistic furniture and walls, patterned blinds add a hint of contrast that is very appealing.
Choosing A Pattern
If you’ve decided to go for patterned blinds, your next decision is which pattern to choose. There are so many different options to pick from that it can be tricky to make a decision. Striped, floral, or geometric patterns are just some of the choices you’ll have to select from.
It’s best to think about the overall effect that you’d like to create in your space so you can make the right choice. For example, if you want to create a traditional look, some floral-patterned blinds could be ideal.
Alternatively, if you’re going for a more modern and minimalistic aesthetic, striped blinds may be best. If you’re going for a retro feel, geometric or abstract patterns may be the right choice for your space.
Choosing A Material
Of course, if you decide to opt for plain blinds, the choice doesn’t end there either. You can choose from a wide variety of materials including various fabrics, wood, and faux wood in a choice of shades and colours to meet your needs. You can also select from a variety of styles including Venetian, Roman, Pleated, and shutters to achieve the perfect look for your home.
