For a house to become a home, we have to enjoy being there, we have to have created precious memories in each room with our loved ones, shared meals, relaxed and unwound, grown and developed. Falling in love with where you live is made easier if you decorate and accessorise with colours, furniture and ornaments that represent you, as well as items you’ve fallen in love with.
How your interior is designed, including its appearance and how it functions, is all part of the appeal of living where you do. Choosing the perfect interior to match your uniqueness and compliment how your family move and function within the space is important for you to get the most out of your home. So, whether you are a minimalist, who likes clean edges and understated colours, or, you appreciate an array of vibrant and enlivening colours, whatever you choose, spending a little time and attention on your interior will help you make your house a home.
For many, choosing the overall style is the first thing they do, and most focus on the large furniture and colour scheme, often leaving blinds until last. Here at Shop4Blinds, we believe a complimentary blind, that has been carefully considered and chosen can not only improve the function of your house, but it can also be a welcome addition to your interior, enhancing and improving the room, which is why, in our latest blog, we have included which blinds are best suited to which interior style!
Contemporary
As one of the most popular home interiors, the sleek and flawless trend is here to stay. With neutral tones, such as grey, white or light brown being used as the primary colour, for many rooms within the home, the pallet allows for the furniture to take the limelight. Contemporary rooms are known to utilise the benefits of different textures, but rather than these being soft of layered, they are glossy, smooth and blocked. For example, reflective worktops in kitchens or glossy tiles in the bathroom.
A Venetian blind which matches the colour pallet of your home will enhance and compliment your contemporary interior. The slats add a block of texture to the room, while the ability to vary the incoming light maintains your privacy, yet ensures your home is filled with natural light.
Classical Farmhouse
When we consider a classical interior, we often think of country-styled homes, with vintage patterns, chunky wooden furniture, open plan living spaces and whitewashed walls. This traditional style is hard not to love, the soft furnishings are often inviting, with cushions, blankets, and trinkets ensuring the room feels lived in and well loved.
To finish your classical interior, we suggest dressing your windows with a traditional wooden vertical blind. They are complementary to both whitewashed furniture, as well as chunky woods.
Industrial
Industrial interiors are one of the fastest growing trends, and we are certain that it is here to stay! Our recent guide of Industrialism and How to Achieve it In Your Home includes simple and budget-friendly steps to help you get the interior of your dreams. The style incorporates raw and authentic materials, with exposed brickwork, weathered woods, beaten metals, vintage accessories and antique light fittings all contributing to this stunning interior.
To compliment this authentic image, we suggest opting for a roller blind. Select a darker shade that will compliment your chosen colour pallet, such as brown, black, grey or dark blue. A roller blind that has a subtle texture will also work very well with an industrial interior, adding layers and depth to the room.
Bohemian
With summer just around the corner, vibrant patterns in warm and earthy colours, textured soft furnishings, multiple relaxation spaces and soft and gentle accessories all contribute to the perfect bohemian interior. Rich Moroccan, tribal or Southwestern patterns with reds and purples are popular, with plants and accessories drawing the eye further into the room. A patterned or textured roller blind is perfect for those of you who are wanting to make a statement. During the day, the pattern is hidden to allow the daylight in, while when the blind is closed, it offers an eye-catching addition to the space.
We hope our guide to interiors and which blinds are most complimentary helps you make this important interior decision. If you need any further assistance, whether that is deciding which blind, which colour or the size you require, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 0161 452 0784.
