Perfect pairing is a secret to success in any kind of relationship and the case is similar with blinds and curtains. You can get a large variety of curtains and custom blinds Dubai provides through reputed companies like Lacortina. We help with every move made in an interior using blinds and curtains together. Using them most adequately is the right route to get the desired style for an interior.
A flexible interior can be built with the combination of blinds and drapes that may offer privacy without blocking the natural light or the opposite. This must be taken care of when you buy curtains online or from a shop. Seeking professional help in choosing the style and type of blinds and drapes are most recommended. However, few points can be easily done when pairing curtains with blinds inside any interior.
Everything related to interior designing has a rulebook of dos and don'ts. The pairing of blinds and curtains is no different from this perspective. So, here are some tips that need to be done and not to be done when grouping them both.
Reason to suggest the selection of blinds as the initial step is the vast availability of curtains in various styles and shades. Venetian blinds and Roman blinds are available in different materials and sizes. Choosing any of them with suitable color will make it easier to find a drape that works with it well. A dark shade of the same color can be collaborated with a light shade to give some contrast.
Finding a blind that works with the curtain may be difficult due to the fewer materials they come in. The hardware section of blinds is another reason to select the blinds before curtains. Blinds can be fitted inside the window frame to accurately fit the window size for a clean look. Curtains cover the whole section from above the window. Going with a simple mechanism for curtain will come in handy when paired with blinds otherwise maintenance will become hard and they together will look crowded. Choosing a simple mechanism for curtains is easy than finding one on blinds.
Using a blind or curtain that just fits the window will surely make the room look smaller. This is worse when done in already small rooms. A blind can be fixed in front of the window to block the background light completely covering the window. This will get covered by a bigger curtain that hangs from just below the ceiling.
Doing it this way makes the room look bigger from any angle. Both blinds and curtains together too can be hanged from the ceiling to get a more modern look.
Alone or together doesn’t matter for considering functionality along with looks while buying blinds and curtains. Roman blinds with cotton drapes will provide a cozy feel inside the room. Soft materials used for roman blinds make it look and feel soft and calming together with curtain fabric.
It is better to use a Venetian blind behind a lightweight curtain to make the room bright without giving much exposure to the outside world. This allows closing the blind and curtain to block light and visibility together. Just opening the blinds alone while the curtains are closed will let the natural light pass into the room without exposing the privacy. Roman blinds with heavy materials can also be used with drapes to get the same functions anywhere inside.
Curtain seekers always fail in choosing the right matching hardware color for being used alongside curtains and blinds. This must be taken care of, especially when buying blinds and curtains to be paired. Choosing curtain rods and fabrics of different colors will make it a lot messier when hanged together with a set of the blind.
Keeping the same color code for all sections including curtain fabric, blind material, and hardware will make it look blending. Using shiny rods in golden and silver colors makes it pop out in the whole system. So, going for a matte finish with rods is also encouraged to give the whole setup a more natural look and feel.
Roman blinds and drapes are available with a lot of patterns and one has to choose them wisely. Recommended word of advice is to avoid patterns when pairing blinds and curtains if possible. However, it may not be possible for pattern lovers, so never choose different patterns for each of them.
It is the same with the printed materials and fabrics of curtains. Either you can go with a printed curtain and plain blind or the opposite to make good use of the look they provide. Never overpower the look by overriding two different patterns and prints for blinds and curtains. Using the prints on both blinds and curtains is also not encouraged due to that it will diminish the beauty and simplicity of the printed material.
Using prints on blinds is more eye-catching when paired with a light-shaded semi-transparent drape in front of it. This will make the prints visible minimally like a background when light passed through both materials.
A blind and a curtain together already give a plump look in the region where they are hanged. So, be creative and simple is important when choosing accessories like pelmets, tie-backs, etc. Adding extras will sometimes give more character to the whole interior so never have to go back from a decision of adding something to go with a pair of blind and curtain.
A simple rope of the same or similar color can be used to tie back the curtains to either side. Small metal hooks can be placed on both sides of the curtains if the tie-back rope is not an option for any interior. The metal hooks and pieces can be creatively used to hide them from the visibility range. Or, curtain services like Lacortina can help you with a customized and clean system to pair blinds and curtains beautifully.
Both curtain and blind have their pros and cons but what about the advantages of using them together in one space. Here are some of those advantages that will come in handy when trying to buy curtains online or from anywhere.
A paired system of blinds and curtains gives a great deal of privacy with the two layers of different materials. Even if both of the materials are semi-transparent, they both together seal the view from outside.
A dark-shaded blind on the back of the curtain will block the light completely when closed. The light again dims if the curtain is also made of thick and opaque fabric. This will be beneficial when trying to sleep during the middle of the day. Exterior sound can also be decreased inside the room with these extra layers so altogether a good sleep can be promised by pairing suitable blinds and curtains together.
Temperature balancing is a big advantage of pairing blinds and curtains since there will be two different materials to keep the heat or cold sealed. They work together in both winter and summer to trap some hot or cold air. In winter, the trapped air inside the drapes will keep the room warm up to a level. In summer, both curtain and blinds work together to block the extreme sunlight from making the room even hotter.
Functional advantages aside, pairing blinds and curtains can offer a good-looking interior with a unique style. Using printed materials and different types of blinds according to the design of the room will add more character to the room.
