A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

Every layered window begins with an anchor, says Chloe, suggesting people opt for a blind as their base layer because it offers “day-to-day practicality without overwhelming the window.”

“I find roman blinds, roller blinds, shutters, and wooden blinds provide reliable privacy and light control - the best for a base layer - whilst still allowing you to be creative with your look.

“Sheer or light-filtering blinds are ideal for bright rooms where you still want to enjoy natural daylight, while blackout options are perfect for bedrooms.”

Choose a neutral shade if you want your base layer to disappear quietly into the background, she advises; or use a textured or patterned blind to bring subtle interest and complement your layers.
