How To Style Curtains And Blinds In Your Home

 Adding curtains and blinds in your home can completely transform the look and feel of any room. Here are our style guidelines when putting new curtains and blinds into your home. 

How To Use Curtains And Blinds To Make Your Room Look Bigger

One of the best benefits of combing both curtains and blinds together is how they change the look of the size and scale of your windows. This is the best solution if your room is a smaller size. A regular size window can be transformed into a larger one when you combine both drapes and blinds together. Not only does this change the size of the window, but it also gives the appearance of a higher ceiling. One tip is to install your blinds a few centimeters just below the ceiling to change the appearance of the height. Once this is done, mantle the curtain rod at the same level as the blind but extend it approximately 30cm each size beyond the window.  

How To Use Curtains And Blinds To Make Your Room Feel Cosy And Intimate

Curtains and blinds are one of the main larger features in any room, so it’s important to think about what style and effect you would like your curtains and blinds to have. In a living room or bedroom, it’s nice to have an inviting, cozy and warm feel, so it’s important to think about this when choosing your curtains and blinds. To create that cozy feeling make sure your purchase blinds with enough fullness. This can also be created when blinds are layered underneath curtains. There is a wide range of blinds on the market that can provide this look and feel including roman blinds, sheer or textures. 

How To Make Your Curtain And Blind Look Cohesive

To make your curtain and blinds look cohesive, it’s important to take note of the little things, such as the hardware components and make sure they match. Once you’ve decided on the colour of the blinds and curtains, make sure you’re clear with the supplier on the exact tint, so the curtain rod can match. Opt for matte finishes on the hardware and rod, as shine finished can more often than not look too bright compared to the curtains and blinds. 

How To Add Those Extra Details To Your Curtains And Blinds 

Both curtains and blinds can create a strong overall statement in the room. A way to personalize your curtains and blinds is to think about the extra details and accessories. If you’re not sure where to start, tiebacks can be a nice little detail to finish the overall look of your blinds. Start with a classic fabric tieback that can be used to create a draped look. Another option for a tieback is to have a metal attachment against the wall to keep the curtains out of the way. Another stylish detail is a Pelmet. These are a great way to accessorise your window. They are actually built into the room, and pelmets will hide the curtain tracks. These also offer better insulation in the room. You will see pelmets in many people’s homes as these give a clean finished look to your curtains.
