When you are building a new home or commercial building, or renovating your current one, there’s lots of decisions to make. You will consider the type of blind style, the texture and type of material and of course the colour. Our Ballarat customers have a wonderful selection of blind colours to choose from including neutral and pastels, bold colours, or wooden styles. But one area you may not have considered is whether your blinds should match your floor. Your flooring is the largest area of your room aside from the ceiling, so it’s a great idea to know what window coverings will match.
Blind Colour and Floor Coverings
It is a matter of personal choice to match your blinds with the floor, but the colour of the blind you choose will impact your entire room, from your flooring, to your furnishings and the general overall decor.
- Matching Blinds with Wood Flooring
If you are installing wood flooring at your home or business, then considering the colour of your blinds is very important in order to compliment each other. Wooden blinds or synthetic wood blinds such as timber shutters, plantation shutters, or venetian blinds are available in a range of colours and stains to match your hardwood flooring or laminate flooring. If the tones that you use in your blinds and flooring are similar, then this can help add style and warmth to your room, while providing a more natural look. - Matching Blinds with Concrete and Natural Stone Flooring
Many contemporary homes, offices and warehouse style buildings are choosing to use granite, or marble or concrete for their flooring. These modern floorings are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, entrances and meeting spaces, especially in wet areas and high-traffic areas. To match your concrete and natural stone flooring, you may consider various types of fabric blinds. To compliment the neutral tones, a softer material fabric may be chosen in white or creams, or neutral colours such as tan and beige. But if you are wanting a bolder look, then you may go with brighter colours of red, blues, yellow or green. Choosing a striking patterned blind fabric can also bring a room to life and create an unforgettable space. - Matching Blinds to Your Carpet
Carpet remains an extremely popular flooring for many homeowners and in many areas of commercial builds, such as high rise apartments and offices. Carpet is available in many colours and designs, so depending on what you choose Davidson’s Blinds and Shutters have many blind colours and patterns to match. Neutral tone blind colours generally match neutral coloured carpet, especially if you’re looking at our popular blind styles of roller blinds, roman blinds, panel glides, or vertical and pleated blinds. It’s also worth considering the type and style of furnishings that you will get, as matching your window blinds, carpet and decor will enhance your whole room and office.
