Window treatments come in a variety of material ranging from blinds, shades and roller shades. Window blinds are made from slats or vanes which can be opened or closed manually by pulling a cord or they can be automatically controlled with a remote control device. Blinds can be adjusted easily – they can be raised up to stack together, leaving an unobstructed view or the slats can be tilted at the desired angle to let in light and air as per your needs.

A well appointed window heightens the appearance of the room so you must ensure to select the best coloured window blind that would suit the overall décor of your home. Your window blinds can be of various types – you can choose from wooden blinds, vinyl blinds, faux wood blinds or aluminium blinds. All of these can be colour coordinated with the surrounding interior decoration. Nevertheless, here are few tips to select the best colour for your window blinds:

1. If you’re thinking in terms of wooden blinds, take a look at the window trim and select a colour that closely matches the trim. You could also have a blind in the colour that matches the floor or the furniture in the room. Wooden blinds come in painted and stained finish, so you might easily find a matching colour tone quite easily.

2. Aluminium blinds come in a variety of colours and you could easily colour match them with your interiors. If you want your window to stand out in the room décor, you can have an attractive colour for the blind. Of course, it must go well with some of the colours that already exist in the room.

Another option is to go by the same colour as the window trim. If you’d like the window blinds to blend in the background, then it’s a good idea to match them to the wall colour.

You could also use the basic metallic colour of the aluminium blind to match with your metallic lighting and door fixtures for a contemporary look.

3. In case you plan to decorate your window space with drapes or curtains, select a neutral colour for the blinds. Use the same colour as the wall for the blinds so that they blend in the background but lend emphasis to your curtains or drapes.

4. Consider for how long you will retain the same theme for your interiors. If you intend to leave it in place for a number of years, select neutral shades of colour for your window blinds. You can experiment with trendy colours for your window blinds if you change the window treatment very often.
