Decorating your home’s interior and styling your windows can be lots of fun, however, for some it can be incredibly overwhelming when there are so many different style and colour options available.

In this guide, we’re going to be explaining how you can select the perfect blinds to match your home and things to consider when choosing them.

Should You Use the Same Blinds in Every Room?

One of the first things to think about before choosing your blinds is whether you want the same blind style and colour throughout your entire home or if you would rather tailor them to each individual room. 

Generally, most people will choose to have different blinds in each room, not just for the styling options but also for the needs of the environment.

For example, you may wish to have luxurious thick fabric Roman blinds in your living room, however, these would not be suitable for your kitchen, where waterproof wipe-clean blinds are needed to prevent staining from food splashes and frequent exposure to moisture in the air.

Similarly, whereas beige coloured blinds may look fantastic in your dining room, they may not go as well in a child’s pink princess themed bedroom.

However, there may be times when you wish to use the same blinds throughout your entire home for a more cohesive look.

For example, if you live in a smaller apartment with a minimalist style, you might prefer to have sleek, clean looking roller blinds throughout the entire property. In this case, having the same blinds in every room likely wouldn’t look out of place.

How to Choose the Best Blinds to Suit Your Entire Home

If you feel that getting the same blinds throughout your entire home is the best option, you might be wondering how to choose the right ones that will match every room. 

To begin with, think about the colour palette of each room. Is there a common colour such as white, grey or black? If so, this may be the best colour option.

If there isn’t a common colour in every room, you may be best opting for something neutral that will go with many other colours. Put simply, when looking at different blind colours and styles, ask yourself whether they will be a good match or if they will look totally out of place.

When it comes to choosing the type of blinds, you may want to opt for something neat and sleek that will suit the needs of every room. For example, Roman blinds may look great in your living room, but not so much in your bathroom.

Roller blinds are one of the most versatile styles as they are available in both blackout and waterproof options, making them ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens as well as your living room.

How to Choose The Best Blinds for Each Room

If you have decided to opt for different blinds in each room, it’s important to choose blinds that not only look great but also meet the needs of the room.

Choosing the Best Blinds for Your Bathroom and Kitchen

If you’re looking to install blinds in your bathroom, you may wish to choose waterproof blinds that can withstand frequent moisture without becoming mouldy.

Additionally, waterproof blinds are excellent for kitchens as they don’t absorb cooking oils and odours and can be cleaned much more easily than regular fabric blinds.

At Aspiration Blinds in Bolton, we offer a wide range of waterproof blinds to suit any bathroom and kitchen, with bespoke measurements for the perfect fit. 

Choosing the Best Blinds for Your Bedroom

Blinds for bedrooms come in a wide range of types and styles- there aren’t really any blinds that can’t work in bedrooms in terms of function or coping with the environment. 

So when it comes to choosing the type or style of blind, the sort of colours you choose it in, patterns and designs, you have an endless amount of options. Let’s narrow it down a bit.

Do you struggle to sleep without total darkness? Blackout blinds are the perfect solution for your bedroom. 

Blackout blinds aim to provide complete darkness in a room by blocking light that comes from outside the window. The fabric of the blind is opaque and prevents light from filtering through due to extra small spaces in the weave.

At Aspiration Blinds in Bolton, we have a wide range of blackout blinds available to suit every kind of bedroom in different styles, colours and patterns.

If light isn’t a concern for you, you have a much wider range of blind styles available to you. For a high level of privacy whilst still being able to control the amount of light entering your bedroom, vision blinds and vertical blinds are excellent options.

If you have children in your home, you should consider getting child safe blinds to prevent the risk of choking.

Choosing the Best Blinds for Your Living Room

In order to choose the right blinds for your living room, you’ll need to think about your existing colour scheme and theme.

If your living room is mostly neutral with very little colour, you may decide to keep your blinds neutral to blend in, using shades such as black, white, beige, grey or brown.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to add a splash of bold colour, you may want to opt for brightly coloured blinds in shades such as teal or fuschia and add cushions, throws and lampshades in the same colour to match.
