Benefits of Installing Both Curtains and Blinds
Combining curtains and blinds is beneficial, and not only from the point of view of protecting the room from ultraviolet radiation and prying eyes. The combination is a winning decorative idea. The traditional textile curtains deftly smooth out the sharp edges of a few cold blinds, adding a touch of cosiness and increased comfort to the setting.
Another advantage of the tandem lies in the visual correction of the room and the concealment of defects in the window opening. While blinds will create privacy for the inhabitants of the home, textile curtains will easily hide errors in the decoration of the walls. And curtain compositions in combination with blinds are an excellent solution for spacious living quarters. The windows of which will lose their majesty when decorating with only slats.
The blinds and curtains will reliably protect textiles from the scorching sun, allowing them to perform the main decorative function in the interior. When it’s time to freshen the curtains, the windows won’t be bare, which will prevent furniture and home textiles from burning out. In addition, the outdoor blinds will always be able to protect the curtains from dirt and from frequent washing.
Tips to Match Curtains and Blinds
- Consider the Location
While matching curtains and blinds, you need to take into account the location of the windows. Options made of heavy fabrics are suitable if the latter is on the sunny side, overlooking a noisy road or a nearby neighbouring house. They’ll provide a comfortable morning and afternoon sleep, protect you from prying eyes and noise. With a good location for the windows, you can choose both dense and airy textiles.
- Think About Colour Choices
Since the bedroom is intended for relaxation, there should be no place for bright flashy colours in it. Preferences should be given to shades that help you relax. So, in a room with orange or scarlet curtains, it’ll be difficult to sleep. Green sheds will help restore mental balance and get rid of painful thoughts.
- Consider the Material
Brown fabrics are a safe bet. They’re combined with many shades and don’t take all the attention. Brown warms the room and creates a sense of security. In addition, a bedroom with curtains and blinds looks stylish and expensive. If the room has lighting, you can choose light, warm colours, such as pink or peach. They’ll brighten the room.
- Play With Pattern
When buying curtains and blinds, you should pay attention to the presence and absence of patterns. For bedrooms with plain walls, it’s worth buying ornamental curtains. They’ll become a highlight in the interior. If the walls are covered with patterned wallpaper, plain textiles should be preferred. This rule doesn’t only apply to curtains and blinds, but also to pillows and bedspreads.
- Contrast Detail
Blinds can’t only be a functional part, but also a highlight of a room. And the curtains framing the windows will fulfil the task of creating comfort. Thus, you’ll get a comfortable room with bright attractive windows. The essence of the design technique is to create a textile decoration of the windows that practically doesn’t completely merge with it. At the same time, the colour of the blinds for the windows should be in contrast to the textiles. The less colourful the interior in your room, the more noticeable the difference between the colour of blinds and curtains will be.
- Define Length
Who said curtains should be longer than blinds? Blinds in combination with curtains may act well as a leading element, and leave a place for a decorating addition to the curtains. In the bright living room, kitchens, bathrooms, and offices, the blinds paired with short curtains or just a lambrequin will look great.
