With so much choice, how do you make the right choice of blind?

Let 247 Blinds show you the best buys from brightly coloured blinds to smart white wooden blinds, all of which will help your home look stunning.

What a Difference a Shade Makes

The choice of colours in your home can have an effect on your mood and can change the overall feel of a room. The meaning behind our most common colours can be revealing in terms of the effect the shade has on a room and what it says about the person who chose the colour! Black for example, is the colour of power and authority, blue offers peace and tranquillity and red stimulates emotion and warmth. These associations with colour go back millions of years since humans learnt that fiery red indicated danger and passion and green evokes feelings of nature and calm.

Making The Right Choice

It’s important to make the right choice when it comes to choosing coloured blinds. Red blinds are hugely popular and can be an eye catching focal point of a room. If you want to introduce some colour and warmth to your living room then red blinds on your windows can also create a vibrant and warming environment. If you hold a lot of dinner parties then introduce red blinds to your living room as red can stimulate appetite and increase sociable feelings. Conservatories and bathrooms can look great with lots of light flooding in. White wooden blinds are a great choice for these rooms as they’re light, neutral and will go with all other colours.

Choose Blinds That Reflect Your Style

Although functionality is important when it comes to blinds, you should choose blinds that reflect your own personal style. If you want to make a statement in your home then coloured blinds in your favourite shades is a good place to start. The colour of your blinds should also complement the room they’re in. If you have a style and colour theme which is similar in each room then the same coloured blinds throughout is an easy option for keeping your house style consistent. If each room has a different style then you could consider investing in a variety of coloured blinds to make each individual room look fabulous.

What Colours Works Best?

The colour of your blinds will also have an impact on the light in your rooms. Light shades of coloured blinds such as salmon pink, beige or cream can let in a lot of light so are better for day rooms to block out the glare of the sun. Darker shades of coloured blinds such as chocolate, mocha and black keep more light out and can look very stylish in studies and bedrooms.
