Warmer weather is on its way here in the UK. And, whenever we move into a new season, it’s inevitable that interior design trends do so too. Spring 2021 will be one to remember after over a year of being cooped up in our homes. This newfound freedom is driving people to do the things they’ve always wanted to do – invest time in their physical health, build summer homes in their gardens and redecorate those rooms they’ve always disliked. Here at Shop4Blinds, we believe that new window blinds should be at the top of your focus list when it comes to bringing new trends and styles into your home. This is why we’ve pulled together this blog to show you all the newest trends this season and how you can bring them to life with your window blinds.
Black accents
If you’re a lover of interior design, you’ve surely noticed more and more people going over to the dark side. Black radiators, black staircases, and black accessories throughout the house. We’ve fallen back in love with an obsession with dark opulence and luxury – and it’s a trend we love! For so long, the idea of bringing black into our homes became taboo. After all, we continually chased light and space in favour of experimenting with the deeper tones available to use.
Spring 2021, while being one of light and freedom, is also one of experimenting. No longer does a design choice need to be set in place for many years. Instead, we can embrace deeper accents throughout our homes with the knowledge that it takes little other than a few coats of paint to change it back. Black window blinds are an adventurous step but one we believe can work in any home.
If you’re working with smaller windows, consider a black Venetian blind such as the Armarda with its wipe-clean surface and high durability. If you’re worried about taking the plunge, choose a pattern like the Chatsworth Black, allowing you to play with this new hue demurely. And, if you’ve decided to take the plunge and go for it, the Banlight FR Black Roller Blind is a light-blocking and undeniably elegant addition to your space.
Earthy tones
After over a year of uncertainty, there is an overwhelming need to feel grounded once more. To feel safe in our surroundings and confident of where the world is going now. Earthy tones have risen to popularity for this reason, behind a reassurance that balance is being restored. And, the beauty of these accents is their ease when dressing a room of any size. Pairing together hues such as terracotta and deep greens can bring decadence into a room. Even simply picking soft furnishing such as pillows and throws in these tones can bring an undeniable warmth into your home.
To help elongate the look of your window, choose a vertical blind such as the Splash Chocolate or the Banlight Duo FR Henna. Both of these hues can be paired with golden accents and textured furnishings to bring the warmth of nature into your space. Wooden blinds also fair well within this trend, including options like Fired Walnut and Warm Oak.
Nature-inspired prints
Again, our love for the outdoors comes into play with the nature-inspired prints trend. Think flowers, leaves, and foliage – everything there is to love about being outdoors during Spring 2021. The beauty of this trend is how easy it is to dress in a multitude of spaces. If you’re someone who loves detail and pattern, you can go large (think maximalist with big colourful blooms and styles). If you’re more demure, opt for a paisley print that has a more traditional look to it.
Styles such as the Rose Mulberry Roller Blind or Flourish Redcurrant allow you to play with muted colour and floral tones in the home. The beauty of them is that they sit well in any room – from bedrooms and living rooms through to kitchens and bathrooms alike.
Stripes
If you’re someone who appreciates simple, classic patterns, there’s something to be adored about stripes. And, in 2021, they have shot right back into popularity. On our walls, on our sofas, and – especially – on our window blinds. One of the things we love the most about striped blinds is the way they create a visual illusion. Opt for vertical stripes if you’re looking to make a window appear longer. Opt for horizontal lines and you’ll make it feel wider.
The Cyprus Mist Roller Blinds provide a subtle entry to the stripe window blind market, giving you the ability to easily play with other patterns too. Equally, vertical blinds allow you to create the look of stripes in your windows while also offering a practical way to control light in any room.
