Many of us are very well aware that the right curtains or blinds can alter and enhance the look of our home dramatically. But what if they’re paired together; how about that? We are often asked about the question ‘do blinds and curtains work together?’ The simple answer is “YES”. The perfect combination of blinds and curtains can really transform your home and make it look stunning.
But before you pair them both, here are some do’s and don’ts that you need to know-
DO’s–
- Choose the blind first
It’s always good to decide the type of blind you need beforehand. Determine whether you need a better sun blocking, light controlling or insulation blind. Once you know the purpose of purchasing the blind, then you can easily decide the type of curtain that will match that blind.
- Go tall and wide
The plus point of combining blinds and curtains together is how they can change the perception of the size of the room. You should place the blinds a few cms. below to curtain, this can give a more expansive appearance to your room.
- Match the curtain and blind colour with the rod colour
Once you have decided the colours and design of curtains and blinds make sure to specify the exact colour tints with the curtain rod. This will help to complement the look of the room. Also, try to avoid using high-shine rods. With many curtains and blinds sellers in Singapore, you can choose the right combination of colours that can work for you.
DON’Ts-
- Not pairing print with print
If you combine prints on both the curtains and blinds then it will look overpowering, therefore, always opt for an ideal option of one solid and one print in colour. This way you can make your room look more appealing.
- Using same curtains and blinds across the house
Don’t use the same colours and patterns in every room of your home. Instead, try to create different “moods” for each room by choosing the colours according to different room types. Brighter colour for the kitchen, soothing prints for bedroom, richer and elegant designs for living room, etc. So go and pick the most beautiful, bright and elegant designs of curtains and blinds from best of Singaporean vendors.
The right combination of both will definitely frame and enhance the view of your home. So, the next time you think to decorate the home by pairing blinds and curtains then, do consider a few things.
