I need some assistance regarding colour choice for some blinds. What colour/style blinds would suit an old Queenslander style home that is currently being renovated. The outside paint job is a mild olive green colour, and the interior is based on a peach/slate colour scheme. What colour blinds would be best, and would you suggest timber blinds, or vertical, etc?


thanks

Hi Carly,
Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you.
Firstly you are going to need to choose a colour that suits both the exterior and interior. I think a cream or alabaster would blend nicely with the mild olive green and the peach tones you have inside. Probably best to keep the blind colour neutral to balance the room. In terms of what 'type' of blind to use, i would recommend a timber or ecowood venetian blind. These look lovely in the old Queenslander homes and they create a warm, cosy environment.

Always remember that color is one of the important elements of design. The color of the room should be related so that extremes of light and dark do not jump aggressively our from background. I think mild olive green closely relates to timber blinds. Try to blend the color value and the balance. It would certainly give you the good design.

Hi

this is a perfect advice.. I like your idea.

Carly, so finally which color you get ? Can you post some pictures of your room in which you used the blinds please.

Thanks

When hunting for the good quality colour blinds always keep it in mind that It depends on the color of your room, your color scheme that you are using and also what theme you wish to have.Apart from that think of the sunlight you get in the room, and the purpose of the room. Are you in the North or South direction.Is your room facing the sun? If it is a bedroom you might want darker blinds. In the living room - go for white or a lighter color- then you can open them on the sunny days.
