Creating a Calming Home with Blinds

The desire to make our homes our sanctuary is stronger than ever, as we long for a safe space we can retreat to at the end of the day.

With our surroundings having such an impact on our wellbeing, ensuring our homes place us at ease is more important than ever. From using sheer finishes at your window space to adopting natural materials into a scheme, see what you can do to create a restorative home environment below.

Sheer Blinds are Perfect for Gently Casting in Sunlight

Use sheer finishes to dapple the light and create a gentle glow throughout a space.

Be inspired by textures found within nature and opt for a textured sheer blind for added interest. Alternatively, Day and Night Blinds offer a functional and contemporary window treatment, gently diffusing sunlight into the room whilst benefitting from increased light control and privacy.

Use Pared Back Earth Tones

Colour has a significant impact on our mood, so place your mind at ease with a neutral palette inspired by the beauty of the outdoors.

Jutelinen, and ivory tones all create a serene atmosphere. Use varying shades of similarly earthy colourways to add interest and cohesion. Richer hues of ginger and teal are ideal for the cooler months, warming up a room visually. When working with neutral colourways, allow texture to do the talking and use a mix of different finishes.

Pair Natural Materials Together for a Tranquil Space

Invite the outdoors in and pair your blind with a range of other textures and natural materials.

Carefully arranged sprigs, strands of pampas grass, and even succulents are perfect for an environment that incorporates the healing properties of nature. For added style points, present foliage featured in your window dressings alongside your blinds or curtains.

Frame Outdoor Spaces with Nature-Inspired Designs

Use your blind as an extension of your décor scheme and present scenes of flora and fauna that are as gentle as they are conversational.

Scenes of sprawling woodlands and whimsical flora in earth tones offer an ideal starting point for a scheme, whilst inviting a calming feel into the room. Select colourways from your blind or curtain and present these elsewhere such as through scatter cushions or throws.

Pair Curtains with Your Blind for a Tranquil Space

Truly switch off from the outside world and enjoy a room free from distractions, by pairing your blind with curtains.
