Go Bold; Statement Blinds For Showstopping Rooms

  • Tips

Windows naturally draw the eye, so they’re the obvious place to make a bold design statement. New fabrics and technology allow them to change the mood and use of a room, from shimmering fabrics that soften light to digital printing patterns that can bring a whole scheme together. We’ve got some new ways to make them the star of your interior design show.

Contrast

Confident design breaks the rules of ‘good’ taste. Don’t feel that your fabric choice needs to match your walls or furniture. Not only is it a great opportunity to create a feature in a complimentary tone, the right hue, such as this soft pink, can change the quality of the light. This shade will warm up a cold Northern light, or try a cool blue or green to cool down aggressively bright sunlight through the clever light enhancing vanes of Pirouette® Shades.

Optical Illusion

Using a distinctive colour that works as a matt, opaque stripe will play with the changing view behind, as the light moves thought the day. These bold on-trend Twist® roller blinds will keep the look feeling modern and graphic, adding more form to the windows rather than a white blind that blends into its surroundings.

Finishing First

The ombre story is popular across fashion, interiors and even hair. These super stylish pleated blinds move from a soft white to a pale green - blue hue, helping them blend beautiful with the darker wall colour and industrial inspired shelves.

Stand out from the crowd

Who says blinds have to match? These three roller blinds have a relationship and work as a triptych but also add an unexpected twist with this central window covering. This not only looks great but can help with practical problems such as a large tree blocking light from one window. The two end panes may need full blackout but the central one may benefit from a less opaque approach to let in available light.

Material World

Even a single window can have a big style impact. These faux wood blinds in a dark stain add some glamour to this clean lined bathroom. Bathroom and shower rooms need special consideration taking into account the damp environment so faux wood an ideal solution.

Keep it in the family

Another way to add impact is to layer colours in the same tone but of different intensity. The soft grey walls in this hallway are made softer with the introduction of these blue Duette ® blinds and deeper hued furniture. The addition of different height accent pieces make the space feel harmonious. A great look for a modernist that hates pattern but wants to create a strong look.
