Blinds & Beyond: Creating a Stunning Living Room With the Right Window Treatments

Blinds have the power to enhance privacy and control the amount of light that enters your space, creating cosy ambiance for reading, movie nights, or simply unwinding after a long day. These understated pieces of interior style are more than pieces of fabric or slats; they elevate your living room, complementing or contrasting other design elements in your space.

Assessing Your Needs: Finding the Perfect Balance

Before considering your choice of living room blinds, it’s important to evaluate the main purpose of your living room. Is it a place for relaxation, entertainment, or a combination of both? Understanding the primary function of your space will help guide you in choosing blinds that cater to your specific needs.

Here are some popular blind types from Shade in Style:

Day and Night Roller blinds 

Simple yet effective, roller blinds are designed for convenience and easy light control. With a smooth rolling mechanism, you can effortlessly adjust the fabric to let in just the right amount of light or create privacy. Day and night roller blinds combine the functionality of two blinds in one, providing you with optimal light control throughout the day and night.

Venetian blinds 

These classic blinds offer versatility and control. With their adjustable slats, you can easily let in or block out sunlight, creating the perfect ambiance. Whether you choose wooden blinds for a touch of warmth or sleek aluminium blinds for a modern look, Venetian blinds are a practical and stylish choice.

Roman blinds 

If you prefer a softer and more elegant look, Roman blinds are an excellent option. Made from beautiful fabric, these blinds fold neatly when raised, creating a graceful and sophisticated appearance. Roman blinds provide both style and functionality, allowing you to control light while adding a touch of refinement to your living room.

Vertical blinds 

Perfect for large windows or sliding doors, vertical blinds offer practicality and versatility. The vertical slats can be easily adjusted to let in or block out sunlight in your living room, and they can be drawn to the side for easy access.

Cellular blinds 

Also known as honeycomb blinds, cellular blinds are designed for insulation and energy efficiency. Their honeycomb-shaped cells trap air, helping to regulate the temperature in your living room. With various opacities available, you can choose the level of light filtering or blackout that suits your living room, all while enjoying improved energy efficiency.

Roller blinds 

Embrace modernity and versatility with panel blinds. These blinds have wide fabric panels that slide on a track system, making them perfect for large windows or even stylish room dividers. Panel blinds offer a contemporary and sleek look, allowing you to control light and privacy while adding a touch of sophistication to your living room.

Embrace Convenience and Modernity With Smart Blinds From Shade in Style

Motorised blinds provide effortless control at the touch of a button or through voice commands, allowing you to adjust the blinds' position and angle easily. With motorised blinds, you can preset your preferred blind positions throughout the day!

Program your blinds to open gradually in the morning, letting in the gentle rays of sunlight, or close automatically in the evening for enhanced privacy and relaxation. You can even integrate them with smart home systems for remote control.

Bringing It All Together

Coordinating blinds with your existing furniture, wall colours, and decor elements can bring harmony to your living room. These are some of our golden tips:

Complementary colours - Choose blinds that complement the colours in your room. If you have bold or vibrant furniture, opt for blinds in neutral tones to create a balanced backdrop. Alternatively, if your furniture and walls are neutral, you can introduce pops of colour through the blinds to add visual interest.

Material harmony - Consider the materials used in your furniture and other decor elements. For example, if you have wooden furniture, wooden Venetian blinds can create a cohesive and natural look. Consider blinds with metallic finishes to tie everything together if you have metal accents.

Balance of patterns - If you have patterned furniture or wallpaper, opt for blinds with solid colours or subtle patterns to avoid overwhelming the space. Conversely, if your furniture and walls are solid, you can introduce blinds with bolder patterns or textures to add visual intrigue.
