Combining blinds with curtains is a really easy way to mix and match colours, textures and patterns and create a gorgeous focal point for any room. It’s also great for layering practical solutions with more stylish ones, so the finished result not only looks stunning, but works hard too. Read out handy guide to discover how to get the best results from pairing blinds and curtains.
If you’re looking to solve a problem such as light levels, privacy or temperature control, try layering one of our specialist blinds with curtains like those in our blackout range. This wide window lets in plenty of light, so a sheer Roller blind helps diffuse some glare, while curtains soften the space and make it cosy at night.
Large areas like kitchen diners often have multiple windows and doors.
Windows in a kitchen area may need to be more practical to withstand heat and steam, while dining spaces might call for softness and style.
Here, we’ve opted for a wipeable, moisture resistant Roller blind by the sink, and introduced a vibrant teal with curtains at the door.
Pattern is a great way to add interest to your decor. When matching plains and patterns, select a colour from your patterned blind or curtains and use a similar or related colour for your matching plain fabric.
Here, a Roman blind in Darcia Velvet Teal is the perfect background for curtains in Loxly Emerald. Velvet is up there with some of the cosiest of fabrics, making it a great choice for your windows. The thick, heavy nature of this luxurious material not only blocks out light but makes it perfect for insulation too.
Coloured furniture or accessories are an easy way to inject colour into a neutral decor scheme, which you can then reflect in your window dressings. We’ve chosen curtains in a similar shade to the walls but with a pop of burnt orange and duck egg blue, with the Roman blinds in the same blue tone making a lovely statement at your window.
