Tips for Choosing Window Blinds Color

Choosing custom window blinds offers numerous benefits, one of which is the choice to select color. Whether you want a shade that’s vibrant and eye-catching or a hue that’s more mellow, the selection of choices at SunGard Window Fashions can help you find your dream window blind color.

Go for a Lighter, Laid Back Look

Lighter hues are a great choice for those who want a more laid-back appearance in their home. If you have beige or muted furniture, consider Hunter Douglas blinds in shades like off-white or cream to complement the color scheme. Alternatively, spaces that feature bold colors, such as living rooms with ruby red sofas, can benefit from the contrast of a set of taupe or tan Hunter Douglas wood blinds.

Be Bold with Hunter Douglas Blinds

Dark stains and solid colors make spaces feel more intimate and can ground a larger area in your home. Deeper tones are also great for more formal spaces, like dining rooms. Parkland® Wood Blinds and EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are available in over 50 colors and finishes, many of which are striking, head-turning shades to put an exclamation point on your design.

Did we mention how striking Hunter Douglas metal blinds can be in any area of your home? Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are available in a wide selection of finishes, including matte and metallic, so that they can make a statement on any window. Additionally, these metal blinds are incredibly durable and ideal for high-traffic areas in your home, meaning they’ll look beautiful for years.

Get a Perfect Match with Complementary Finishes

Matching your window blind's color to the trim of a room ensures the shade won’t clash with the existing decor and allows your blinds to blend in with the room subtly. You can also choose to match the stain of your Hunter Douglas wood blinds to gorgeous hardwood flooring or cabinets. Even faux wood varieties can pair perfectly with your genuine hardwood cabinets, furniture, and flooring.

Many people choose to coordinate their blinds with the wall color in a room. We suggest going a couple of shades lighter or darker than the walls to prevent your blinds from fading into the background. Complementing your blinds with the color of your walls is also a fantastic way to create a monochromatic color scheme within a space.

Consider Your Entire Design

While you don’t want every room in your home to be identical, a central theme can give your layout a cohesive feel. Using blinds of similar color in every room throughout your home allows the interior design to flow throughout your entire home. For instance, adding dark wood Hunter Douglas blinds in each room can help you create a more traditional feel, while incorporating bright white blinds will allow your home to feel more open and airier.
