SEAMLESS STYLE

If you’re looking for blinds for a large window, consider hanging a series of Roman blinds outside the frame and flush beside each other – this will achieve a seamless look while giving control over the light levels of individual bays. Choosing a small repeat design in a neutral shade will help the space appear larger.

1 LET THE LIGHT IN

Venetian blinds are a great choice for bathrooms, as they have adjustable slats, also known as louvres, which allow you to control light levels and privacy. ‘Wood Impression Venetian blinds offer water resistance suitable to a bathroom environment,’ says Leah Aspinall, head of creative at Blinds 2go. ‘Alternatively, roller blinds with polyester or polyester mix fabric are resistant to damp and humidity and are easy to wipe clean, making them a practical choice.’

2 FEATURE PRINTS

A Roman blind in an eye-catching fabric is a brilliant way to create a focal point within a room where the space for wall art may be limited. No matter how large your window, a colourful geometric fabric will liven up a neutral corner.
