One of the most basic yet most important decisions that you will make for window treatments involves color. Given that is is the most noticeable characteristic of your windows, deciding on color can be a helpful start to any redesign project. Here are a few helpful tips on choosing the right color for window blinds.
Coordinate Among Rooms
Most people decorate rooms one-by-one. Although your theme may vary with each room in your home, it is important to coordinate certain elements for an overall flow and consistent feel. For instance, if you have dark plantation shutters in one room and patterned/colored cellular shades in another, it might stand out as a bit disjointed. Alternatively, if you had white plantation shutters in one room and white cellular shades in another, it might be more coherent.
Consider the Inside and Out
We all focus on what window blinds look like inside of a home and often forget to consider its impact on the exterior. Walk across the street and look back at your home. How do your windows impact the curb appeal? Now imagine if each of the windows on a particular side of the house was different? Would that negatively impact the home’s curb appeal, by making it look less symmetrical? Minor differences may not, but major differences certainly would. Thus, when selecting window blinds for different rooms of your home, remember to consider the impact of exterior color choices.
Redesign and Resale Value
Our last tip on choosing the right color for window blinds is to consider redesign and resale value. Window blinds come in a variety of colors, patterns, and fabrics. This can be great and allow you to personalize selections and achieve a unique look. However, be careful not to go too far with this.
If you decide to change your interior decor a bit, will your window blinds be able to adapt? Additionally, are your blinds neutral enough to appeal to potential buyers of your home, should you decide to sell? A good color selection should have adaptability for maximum value and benefit.
