Dressing up your window may seem like an easy matter. And it is, especially if you know the basic principles and if you are already an interior designer. But for many people, this may seem a challenge that they are not willing to take.
This is why they are quite lenient when it comes to choosing the blinds that will suit their home. However, you should do your best to avoid going that route. You need to make sure that the look of your home is well thought of — your windows included.
There are actually some ways you can dress up your windows without having to sweat. The very first thing that you need to do is by choosing the right color. Still sound challenging? Let this article make it easy for you.
Here are some of the pointers to keep in mind when choosing the colors of your window treatments, which may include custom motorized blinds.
The Harmony of Colors
Your space already has existing colors. And these colors are chosen to imbibe the feel of your theme. If you are a fan of Marie Antoinette aesthetics, there is a great chance that you are using pastel shades. Have a Japanese Zen design? You may use neutral shades, such as brown, white, and gray.
When you choose the colors of your blind, you need to pick the ones that suit the existing colors of your home. Do not choose colors that directly match the existing shades. Otherwise, your interiors will look contrived.
The Design of the Window Frames
You may not have considered it, but the design of the window frames or even the valance can help determine the color of your blinds. Basically, the colors of your valance and frames are trims and swatches, which accentuate the main colors of your home. In this regard, you can use them as a reference when choosing the right colors of your blinds.
The Sunlight and Lighting
You may already have existing colors in mind, but have you checked yet how and what they will look like under certain lighting conditions? Keep in mind that the appeal and look of the colors change when the light hits them — be it natural light or artificial.
Pastel yellow may turn white when hit by sunlight, and blue blinds may look greenish at times. So before you decide, check first what they will look like under sunlight or your house light.
Your Mood
At the end of the day, the choice of color will still depend on your mood. It will still depend on your preferences. You love blue despite the color yellow being the dominant shade in the house? By all means, do what you want. After all, it is your home, and you can do whatever you like.
These are just some of the things to keep in mind when choosing the color of your blinds. If you are having second thoughts, it always pays that you seek the advice of the sales consultant or of an interior designer.
