Every homeowner spends time thinking about how to style their blinds to match their home. It can be hard to come to a decision. With so many designs to choose from, it can be difficult to know what will look best in your home. However, we are here to help!

Soft textures and hues blend well. Geometric prints are having a moment in fashion, creating an intense and graphic look. These patterns can transform a room to make a statement in any home. The appeal will make your home stand out from the crowd. This style looks best on Roman or Roller blinds.

If miss matching colours are your style, then going bold with colour is for you. Pick out the highlighted colours from the blind fabric and use that as the basis for your accessories as cushions, rugs, mirrors, and other interior items. It will allow the colours to pop and make sense within your home, providing style to the room.

Too many of the same fabrics in a room can make it look cliche, while a room with too many patterns can make a room look too busy. It’s important to add different layers to create interest within your windows. Keep the tones similar for greater compliance when trying to add more colours. Roman blinds can help bring this style to fold when done right in a home. Try matching this with your rug or poster that may be a different material to the blind for it to stand out. Use fabrics that complement the woods or metals in your room.

If you want a simplistic feel for your home, then your go-to is earth blinds. Using blind colours that are simple and natural will give your home a cool look. Colours like brown, grey, green, and wood bring a natural look that matches the other interior objects in the house. Make sure your room is as minimalistic as possible with open spaces, which will have a greater appeal. Blinds like roller, verticals, roman, panel and motorised blinds are good examples to bring out this look.

Patterned Roller Blinds for Modern Homes

We’re big fans of pattern, and roller blinds are the perfect way to introduce it into the home! However, if it’s roller blinds for modern homes that you’re looking for specifically, we have a few recommendations…

Create a contrast. Contrasting colours are big right now and are a great way to introduce colour into a modern home. Go for black and white, blue and yellow, orange and blue – the choice is yours, but make it bold!

Keep it simple. A simple patterned roller blind for modern homes is ideal. Simple patterns are easy to style (and restyle… repeatedly!). A simple pattern might include just two or three colours. Avoid intricate designs and go for larger prints or abstract blends. 

Make them the focal point. If you’re going bold with a patterned blind, you won’t want to add anything else too crazy into the room! What we mean is, don’t introduce a second pattern that would clash. Style patterned rollers with plain accessories in matching or complementing colours. Or even use the same pattern on your cushions, rugs, throws etc.

5 Ways To Style Your Roller Blinds

5 Ways To Style Your Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are one of our most popular blind styles year on year. Understandable really! They give a modern look to any window and can be styled to your tastes and needs.

So, what is a roller blind? Roller blinds are a single piece of fabric that is rolled around a metal pole and fit across the top of your window. They can be fitted either on the inside or the outside. These blinds operate by unrolling to cover your window via a chain mechanism that is attached to the casting. Or, you can opt for the motorised mechanism whereby they open at the touch of a button!

The versatility in our range of roller blinds makes them a perfect choice for every room in the home. Our PVC roller blinds are superb for kitchens and bathrooms, as they can be wiped clean and are moisture resistant. Their contemporary design means they’ll complement any décor in a bedroom or living room alike. And, with blackout and dimout options available, roller blinds are a brilliant choice for complete light control.

At A1 there are endless possibilities when it comes to designing your roller blind! With thousands of fabrics to choose from, as well as a choice of bottom edge design and accessories, you’re truly able to make them your own. So, whether you coordinate your blinds across the house or mix it up from room to room, the choice is yours, and we have plenty! Read on to discover our top tips for styling your roller blinds.

1. Patterned Roller Blinds

Styling your home with patterned roller blinds will liven up your space instantly!

Large-scale patterns are on trend this season, but a smaller pattern is just as effective. You can use patterned roller blinds to pull together accent colours, or to decorate a plainer space. Style your pattered blinds with matching curtains, cushions or a rug. Or, have them as a statement piece to inject some colour.

We have lots to choose from when it comes to patterned roller blinds. Choose from a selection of dainty florals, geometric prints, large retro patterns and more!

2. Coloured Roller Blinds

Who said plain has to be boring? Plain coloured roller blinds could be the pop of colour that your home needs!

For a timeless look go for a neutral colour like grey, beige or off-white. Or, if you’re a little more daring, dark blue, green and ochre have proven very popular this year. These shades are all very versatile and can be styled with many other colours time and time again!

We suggest choosing a textured fabric with a plain coloured blind. This will add some depth and warmth to your space.

And then there’s also colour blocking! We have several roller blinds with a colour block design that work beautifully for dressing your windows. Colour block is a great way to join two colour schemes together, be it contrasting or complementary. Colour block roller blinds add a cool vibe to your home.

3. Roller Blinds With A Shaped Hem

Having a roller blind with a shaped hem has the power to soften a room completely. A scalloped finish will bring a touch of elegance to your window and is a great addition to a plain or subtle print.

A more traditional straight edge roller blind works best for a louder pattern or bolder colour, allowing the fabric design to take centre stage.

4. Accessories For Your Roller Blinds

Make them your own with that extra little finishing touch! Adding accessories to your roller blinds adds an air of luxury to a window. Our range covers braids, eyelets and pulls.

Our fabric braids are an elegant and fun addition to your roller blinds. Go for an accent shade or a contrasting colour, sewn onto the hem for a subtle yet beautiful design.

Eyelets are a smart addition to your roller blinds and are also a great way to style a plainer design. They are sewn in a row along the bottom of the hem for a sophisticated look.

A decorative pull finishes off a blind perfectly. From fabric and wood to metal and beads, there’s an option to suit every décor.
