How Can Blinds & Curtains Work Together?

admin • Jul 22, 2022

If you can’t pick between blinds or curtains, you may be wondering if blinds and curtains can go well together. Some people think using both can be overwhelming or unnecessary. However, blinds and curtains can complement each other very well if used correctly.

In this post, we’ll explore how different types of blinds and curtains work together to help you find the best solution for your home.

How Can Blinds And Curtains Work Together?

Blinds and curtains can work together on the same window in a variety of ways. They can help improve the aesthetics of a house by mixing together different textures and styles.

They can also help to block out any excess light that may enter your home and improve your security by shielding the view into your house.

Can Every Type Of Blind Be Layered With A Curtain?

You can layer a blind with almost any kind of curtain. It is best to use a lined curtain for this, but it may also be possible to use an unlined curtain if you have a very light and sheer fabric. You also need to ensure that the height of your blind is similar in size (or smaller) than your window opening so that it doesn’t stick out at all times when opening it.

Think about how much sunlight needs to get through into certain rooms where different types might work better than others (for example blackout roller blinds).

What Types Of Blinds And Curtains Go Best Together?

If you’re looking to match your blinds and curtains, there are several things you should consider. For example, think about the style of your home, as well as its colour scheme and size. Consider its function, a living room may need a more formal or decorative approach than a kitchen.

Finally, think about the shape of the space in which you plan to hang your curtains and blinds.

Which Window Styles Can Benefit From Using Layers Of Blinds And Curtains?

The 2 types that could benefit the most from layering can include:

  • Casement windows: These can be found in a variety of designs and layouts, but they all have hinges that allow for a more energy-efficient opening than other types of windows.
  • Sliding windows: Sliders are often used on the exterior walls of homes because they’re easy to clean and won’t let outside air in unless you want it to.

How To Style Blinds And Curtains Together

Everyone has their own individual style for their home so some trial and error can help to decide what works for you. Cellular shades can help to add depth to certain rooms and using plainer designs for curtains especially helps to not distract from the room itself.

Long draping curtains frame windows better and wide slat blinds help to control the amount of sunlight entering a room.
