How to choose the right colour
One of the most important things to consider when you’re investing in door blinds is making sure you get the right colour. We have an extensive range of colours available but you’ll need to decide which is right for the room you’re getting them for. Below are some key things to consider to make sure you make the right choice –
- Coordinate with the existing colours in the room –Â The main thing that will inform your choice of colour of blinds is that existing colours in the room where they’re going to be fitted. The colour of your walls, furniture and floor will certainly help you to decide on an ideal shade. The colour you choose necessarily have to be the most prominent colour that’s currently in the room though. You can choose something that’s more subtle and matches the colour of smaller furnishings, such as lamp shades and ornaments in the room.
- Choose a contrasting colour – Another option if you have a fairly neutral room without too much colour is to choose something that’s bold and contrasting. For example, a deep blue or red shade of blinds can really help to bring life to a room.
