It’s a popular choice for many Los Angeles homes and businesses to combine shades and blinds for an elegant and functional flair. In this blog entry, the window treatment installation experts here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will describe some useful tips for shade and blind installation.
Picking Blinds
We recommend choosing blinds before curtains. Blinds are closest to your windows, and define the general aesthetics. Blinds face the outside of your home, and are particularly attractive in cream or white, as they match most interiors and exteriors. You can choose blinds in colors ranging from pink and green to gray and blue. Some of the most popular layering friendly blinds are roller shades, Roman shades, Venetian blinds, and wood blinds.
Identifying Color Schemes
As you’re browsing curtains, consider whether they compliment your blinds and the rest of your space. You can choose a solid color that contrasts your blinds attractively – or a matching pattern. Don’t mix patterns on both blinds and curtains at the same time. Multicolored striped curtains are very attractive when paired with neutral shades like white or beige. Bright colors are best paired with floral patterns, dot patterns, geometric patterns, or other patterns.
Texture Determination
Decide what texture you want your blinds or curtains to be. You can create a sense of airiness by matching Venetian blinds with flowing sheer curtain material. If you want your space to feel cozier, choose thicker curtains made of fabric. Blackout lining fabrics will keep out heat or sunlight, an ideal choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and offices. Don’t pick any materials that clash with your blinds – and choose stronger and more robust fabrics when matching wooden blinds with curtains.
Custom Fitting
Custom fit blinds and curtains look best. Blinds should always fit perfectly inside your window frame regardless of their individual style. Curtains should completely cover windows, and have extra length or width to make the room appear larger.
