Select the right blinds for your home

Blinds not only shut the outside world for you, they reflect your taste as well. Here is what you should keep in mind while selecting blinds for your windows:

1. Ensure that the measurement is correct:

Pre-built blinds may seem hassle free, but there is a great chance of a misfit. Just like clothes, blinds and chicks too don’t look decent in they are not of the right measurement. So even if you are planning to buy blinds, it’s better to leave guesswork behind and take the measurements of all the windows you want to select blinds for. Write it down on a paper so that you don’t mix it up. Make notes regarding color and all if you have some specific preferences.

2. Always see the readymade sample:



While your dealer may be hell-bent on convincing you to buy a particular design, do not fall for it unless you have seen the real sample. Never finalize a design based on what you see in a sample book, as the colors used in the final product may differ from the photographic impression. It’s always better to see and feel the material before zeroing in on it.

3. Think before you put your finger on any pattern:



There are many types of blinds. While solid blinds or shades are most commonly seen in offices, they can be used in modern homes as well. Venetian and Roman blinds are a rage these days. Roller blinds have always been popular due to their functionality and color variations. So any of these choices is perfect, as long as it doesn't challenge the looks of your well done interiors.

4. Think about the color scheme:



The treatment that you give to your windows is going to affect the look of that entire area. Keep color scheme of the room in mind. Do not pick a color that does not gel well with the interior of the room, or even a color which has been overdone in the room for that matter.

You can match blinds with a few paintings on the walls, or something as basic as furniture. What is important is that they do not look out of place. You have to make sure that are treated as a part of the interior and in turn they do add something to its looks as well.
