Colour Matching Blinds: Walls or Trim? - Normandeau Window Coverings (2024)

If you find that you are completely stuck on which color of blinds to use in your home, it is typically safe to take a close look at the window casing or trim around the window. By choosing a color that closely matches the tone of the trim, it will give the appearance that your blinds are simply part of the architecture of the room. If your focal point in the room is something other than the window, such as a piece of furniture or a painting, white blinds will not draw attention from it. The good news is, there are many different colors and finishes to choose from when it comes to blinds.

One of the best ways to choose the color of your blinds is to simply consider the overall color scheme of whichever room you are working in. For example, if you are looking to add blinds to the windows in your kitchen, consider not only the color of the cabinets in the kitchen, but also any paint on the walls. You can either choose to have your blinds match exactly with cabinets, trim or wall colours or find a color that accents them nicely.

Window blinds are an excellent choice for any space.

Choosing the right blinds colour is an important part of the buying process.

Many homeowners like to pair blinds with drapery. The various layers add depth to a room and provide an extra level of privacy. You could add a layer of softness with decorative fabric drapery panels to customize the look and coordinate with your décor. Patterned full-height panels tie in wall colors to the colors of both the trim and the blinds. For a more traditional look and additional privacy, especially during the daytime, add a billowy sheer layer over the top of the blinds, in addition to drapery panels.
