Using blinds to transform your room

February 7th, 2008

If you’re thinking of giving your home a new look for this year, one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do it is by changing the blinds.

Window Shades are generally considered something of an afterthought but in doing that you’re missing out on a very easy way to transform the feel of a room. For instance, you can begin to create an almost tropical feel just by using bamboo blinds and a few well chosen plants.

Similarly you should consider how the sunlight comes into your room and perhaps use that to decide between vertical or horizontal shades. Once that decision is taken you can then consider the choice between opaque and translucent blinds and, of course, there’s the range of colours to consider too.
