Pairing Blockout Blinds with Sheer Curtains

23/03/2020

When it comes to mastering your window décor for practicality and style, mixing curtains and blinds can be a difficult look to master. Pairing sheer curtains and blackout blinds is a great example of achieving a thoughtful, balanced window furnishing solution.

Where there was once a debate about whether to use either curtains or blinds, today you can incorporate both to achieve an elegant space full of practicality. Sheer curtains and blackout blinds are the perfect pairing for having full control of lighting and privacy. However, it’s important to choose the right materials and patterns for a polished, finished look in your room.

 

 

Choosing Your Blinds

When matching curtains and blinds, the best approach is to decide on the blind first as it will sit behind the curtain. Roller blinds and venetian blinds are the best options when pairing with drapes. They provide a solid block of colour to balance a soft window furnishing. Ensure you pay attention to colour and fabric selections and whether they complement each other against the window. Never pair a print with another print.

A blackout blind provides the perfect neutral, block colour to contrast your sheer curtain. They have the added benefit of being highly practical, helping you achieve a better night’s sleep by eliminating all light when they are closed. They also reduce sound and provide insulation, ensuring you can enjoy a cool room during summer and a warmer room during winter.

 

 

How Sheer Curtains Compliment Your Blinds

The sheer curtain is back on trend thanks to elegant designs that are a world away from the lacy looks of the past. Today’s delicate, romantic sheer curtains are sophisticated while offering privacy during the day. It’s a simple way of creating a beautiful ambiance by filtering light into the room. Where your blackout blinds offer privacy at night, your sheer curtains filter light perfectly during the day.

The combination of sheer curtains and blackout blinds is low maintenance when compared to shutters and venetian blinds, which gather an obvious film of dust on their blades. Sheer curtains come in a range of colours and textures to suit any style of home, from heritage to contemporary properties. Blackout blinds also come in a wide variety of colours, textures and patterns to suit your home. Choose grey or beige coloured blackout blinds paired with patterned white sheer curtains for a modern scheme.
