Rethinking Vertical Blinds and Shades
posted by
Vertical Blinds are perfect option for the home décor for many reasons. They come in a variety of colors and materials that make them versatile and easy to use. While some windows may not look quite right in a vertical blind or shade, you would be surprised how they really look great on even tall narrow windows. If you’re thinking about decorating your home with new window treatments, consider how vertical blinds or shades will enhance the overall look of your room. Rethinking Vertical Blinds and Shades will allow you to consider how beautiful they look and how they can make your room appear taller.
What’s Your Decorating Goal?
Think about what you want your room to look like when you’re finished. Thinking about the finished effect will enable you to choose the right style of vertical blind or shade. For a modern, sleek style choose a vinyl or metallic blind. Our Hunter Douglas Skyline® Gliding window panels offer a unique way to cover your wide windows with large 17” panels. If you are looking for a more casual option you might like our Crosswinds® wood blinds or our Cadence® Soft verticals. If you really want to add an elegant window treatment, consider our breathtaking Luminette® Privacy Sheers featuring a soft vane with attached sheer.
How Will The Room Be Used?
Decide what your privacy and light needs are in the room you’re decorating. If you have a sunroom, you may prefer a sheer to a blind so that you can take advantage of diffused light while still protecting your furnishings from UV rays. If you’re decorating a bedroom however, you may want something with darker fabric or closer vanes to block the sun when you’re taking an afternoon nap or trying to sleep in on Saturdays. Consider the other furnishing in the room and how they will look with your new window treatments. Will they compliment the look or detract from it?
What’s Your Color Scheme
Once you decide the overall style décor and how much light you need, you can start thinking about your color scheme. Rethinking vertical blinds and shades gives you a multitude of color options including metallic, stains and geometric shapes and patterns.
Vertical blinds and shades are available in a wide range of colors. You can choose a neutral or a bold, bright hue. Color plays a big role in the ambiance your room creates. Choose a light neutral or cream to create a clean, light atmosphere. If you want you’re blinds or shades to stand out, choose a brighter color or pattern to create a focal point. If your room is full of other colors and the focus isn’t your windows, choose a calmer color or pattern. Ambiance Window Coverings offers in-home consultations so you can play with fabric and material samples to visualize how your room will look before you purchase your vertical window treatments.
Coordinate Your Room
You can choose different blinds and shades for various windows in your room. If you are covering a sliding glass door with a vertical blind, you can add a horizontal blind to a smaller window in the same room or living space. Many of the fabrics we carry come in a variety of window treatments to fit any size or shape window. Our Duette® Honeycomb shades and Vignette® Roman shades come with a Vertiglide™ option for larger, wider windows.
You can soften your vertical blinds with a soft sheer fabric placed above the window and draped on either side. This is an easy way to hide the window frame and soften the hard lines of the vertical blinds. We also work with soft window treatments and custom drapery to layer your window treatments for a unique look.
Rethinking Vertical Blinds and Shades
At Ambiance Window Coverings, we will work hard to help you create the space your dreaming of. We have a variety of window treatments to show you, including: shutters, shades, blinds and custom drapery.
