Color, whether you know it or not, has a huge impact on our everyday lives. Color effects mood and can make a room or ruin a room.

Every color has its symbol and it is important to choose the color that will best suit your lifestyle and your mood.

Every color has an effect on us: red is power and passion, yellow is light, happiness, creativity, blue – devotion, trust and peacefulness. Green represents nature, hope, abundance and orange is considered energy, warmth and security. White is the purest light, energy and truth; black is formal and reserved, dignity and glamour. 

Color needs to be taken into consideration when choosing blinds for any room. Blinds and their color contribute to your privacy, controlling unnecessary light and also adds to the beauty and style of a room.

When choosing the color of your blinds, follow the color scheme and interior design of the room you are working with; consider the wall color, the color of the upholstery and furniture along with rugs and any other accessory.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Black and white are always safe decisions when it comes to blinds’ colors.
  • If trying to achieve a “natural” look choose materials and colors such as wood or bamboo.
  • A modern or a glamorous look would benefit from aluminum or black shades; whereas a classic look would be best achieved with a simple shade of white.

Color comes to play a major role in our lives. The perfect color can be the best way to bring interest and style into a room; however, a color faux pas can be a ruin to a potentially outstanding room. Choosing the right blinds and their color for your room is a great way to add character and perfect a style.
