How to create a relaxing space

In today's fast-paced world, you need a home to relax and unwind after a long day. A space where you can recharge and escape from the stresses of everyday life.

Selecting the right window dressing is key to achieving such a space. The window is often the focal point of a room, and the right window dressing can enhance the room's ambience, light, and energy. Shade in Style offers a world-class selection of blinds to give you style and functionality for your home.

Understanding Roman Blinds

Our Roman Blinds are made from fabric and folded into neat, horizontal pleats when the blind is raised. They can be operated using a cord, which is used to raise and lower the blinds. When fully raised, the blind stacks up neatly at the top of the window. You can also get our ultra-modern motorised blinds compatible with Sonos, Alexa, and Hey Google for a smooth, automated experience.

Why You Should Get Them

Shade in Style blinds offer privacy, light control, and insulation — all you need to create a relaxing space. They are versatile, and you can style them to fit any aesthetic, making them a great addition to any space.

Whether you're looking to create a cosy bedroom or a calming living room, our blinds can help set the tone for relaxation. They are easy to operate and maintain, with most of our styles being machine-washable.

Choosing the Right Blinds From Our Collection

As you browse through our blinds, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We have a wide collection catering to many styles and preferences, and we want you to enjoy every blind.

Here are some tips on finding the right blinds for your home:

Colour and Pattern

When selecting colours and patterns, it's essential to keep in mind the mood you want to create. If you're looking to create a relaxing atmosphere, consider neutral or calming colours like cream, beige, or grey. You can also choose patterned fabrics with subtle designs that complement your decor and create a cohesive look.

Material

The material you choose for your blinds can also affect the overall feel of your space. Consider fabrics like silk or velvet for a soft and luxurious feel. Alternatively, if you prefer a more natural and rustic look, cotton and linen fabrics can help achieve that.

Light Filtering Options

Strong natural and artificial lights can disrupt your sleep, cause screen glares and reduce the quality of your life. Our Roman blinds with light filtering options can help control the amount of natural light that enters the room, creating a soothing ambience. You can opt for sheer fabrics that let in soft light or thicker materials that provide more privacy and light control.

Using Blinds as a Focal Point

Blinds can be used as a focal point in your room. For instance, patterned or brightly coloured Roman blinds can draw attention to your windows and create a statement piece.

Combining Blinds with Other Window Treatments

You can also combine blinds with other window treatments to achieve a layered look. For example, layering blinds with curtains can help enhance privacy, add texture, and create a cosy atmosphere.

Coordinating Blinds with Other Decor Elements

Coordinating your blinds with other decor elements is essential when creating a relaxing space. You can choose fabrics that complement your room's furniture, walls, and other decor elements. Matching colours or textures can help create a cohesive and balanced look.

If you want your blinds to really stand out, choose a colour that contrasts with the rest of the room. For example, choose a bold red or blue for your blinds if your walls are white.

Another golden tip is to consider the size of the window. Large windows can handle bold patterns and colours, while smaller windows may look overwhelming.

Using Blinds to Control Natural Light

Blinds work very well to control natural light. You can adjust your blinds to let in just the right amount of light to create a soothing atmosphere. With blinds, you can let in soft light during the day or create a dim setting in the evenings to help you wind down.

Enhancing Privacy

Privacy is an essential element when creating a relaxing space. Roman blinds can be adjusted to provide varying levels of privacy, depending on the thickness of the fabric. Thicker materials can enhance privacy, making your space more relaxing and comfortable.

Soundproofing with Blinds

Soundproofing your space can create a more relaxing environment if you live in a noisy neighborhood. Blinds can help reduce noise pollution by absorbing sound and preventing it from disturbing your peace. Choosing thicker fabrics and combining them with a soundproofing liner can help enhance the soundproofing properties of your blinds.
