Consider how light affects colour
When choosing colours, be mindful of the lightness or darkness of a room.
Colour is a reflection of light, so the kind and amount of light in a room will have a significant impact on a colour scheme. Take note of how much light comes into the room, based on the position an intensity of the sun. Remembering natural sunlight not only changes throughout the day but the season. When choosing window treatment colours, we will always recommend viewing the fabric colours in each room as opposed to our showroom or from the computer.
Bold & Bright or Soft & Subtle
Trending colours can be popular choice but making sure you are happy with them to last for years to come, is another. It’s also important to ensure your colour selection is in line with your personal taste and theme.
Choosing colours whether you are going for bright and bold, clean and fresh, soft and subtle, it’s a good idea to consider how the colour will affect the space and mood of the room.
Lighter paint colours in your zones will reflect the natural light and make the room feel larger. If you’re after a more spacious feeling, opting for a light and neutral colour palette with your blinds will be more effective. Think pale greys, creams and white.
Blending natural colour window treatment tones with your wall colour can also achieve a relaxed & calming environment. Using lighter colours can also make a room feel more spacious and open. In small spaces decorative window treatments such as valances and curtains in luxurious fabrics can make a room feel smaller.
For a minimalist window treatment use blinds such as roller blinds or roman blinds in the same fabric colour as the walls. This will allow you to cover the window without encroaching on your space.
Darker or warm colours on the other hand, can make the space feel cosier and more intimate. These colours typically work well in dining, entertaining spaces and media rooms as they are inviting and promote intimacy by making the room feel smaller.
Want some personality brought into the room? Then be brave, go bold and bright. Window treatments are the perfect opportunity to invite colour, turning boring into a centrepiece. Colours, patterns and textured fabrics bring vibrancy to a room and aim to inspire confidence to an interior space. Generally, these blinds would work well in a bedroom or living area.
Be Consistent
Decorating one room or your whole home, think how each room relates to the other. You should aim to have a colour scheme to be cohesive from room to room otherwise you run the risk of disrupting the flow. This doesn’t necessarily mean using the same colour throughout the whole house. Instead, you can choose an overall colour theme that complements the interior décor of you house or office. The colour transitions from one room to the next will impact the overall feeling of your interior. For example, you can have a rainbow effect where the colour shades evolve subtly to a new but related colour.
