matching blinds colour based on your space

Consider room size and design when you choose the right blinds for your home. A light colour such as sand or snow may help to create a spacious, airy look in your room. Warmer shades add interesting depth and cosiness. Consider incorporating a statement colour such as dark grey if you would like to highlight an existing bold design scheme.

window trim or moulding

Blinds that complement the window trim or moulding look best. Want your windows to blend seamlessly with furnishings rather than star as a focal point? Choose one shade darker than the trim.

wall colour

For a subtle and cohesive look, select blinds with fabrics that are a shade or two lighter or darker than your wall colour.

flooring or other fixtures

Accentuate the natural tones in a wooden floor or furniture with wood blinds. Alternatively browse our fabric blinds collection and enjoy the choice of various textures and colours to enhance your home décor.

size of the room

To maximize small spaces, choose window coverings that sit within the window recess. A light shade can make a room feel bright and spacious. For larger rooms, blinds that sit outside the window recess block out more light. A darker colour adds depth to make your home look and feel serene.

choosing colours for window blinds based on your design style

When looking at dark blinds vs light blinds, remember that colours lend themselves to different applications and decor schemes. Here are ideas for how to choose blinds based on the aesthetics of your living or working area.

earthy and natural

If you want to add a light, welcoming and warm look to your room, choose an earth-tone palette. Create a sophisticated or rustic feel depending on your hue choices.

modern or contemporary

For a modern look, monochromatic window coverings or tone-on-tone styles are trending. One popular contemporary style is to choose dark colour fabric roller blinds.

eclectic

Successful eclectic decor features rich texture and links cohesively to multiple different design styles. Dark-coloured window blinds may best complement eclectic spaces. Neutral-coloured blinds add more brightness and allow your home furnishings to shine.
