Redecorating one or more rooms in your home can be part of the New Years Resolutions you recently made. It’s easy to maintain if you stick to the classic methods of changing the look of a room. Paint can have a huge impact in changing the entire feel of a room and so can the window treatments you choose. If you want to try something new, wood window blinds can add a rich touch to your home bedroom, library, dining room or living room. Knowing what colors of wood blinds to buy when shopping for decorative items for your bedroom makeover will go a long way in giving your room a visual appearance consistent with the floor and window frame in the room.
Wood window blinds add a natural, warm look to any room, just as hardwood floors would. When the blinds are in the lowered position with the slats closed, the wooden blinds offer excellent privacy, light control and effective cold air blocking.
Since the floor of your room that you want to decorate is the largest area in the room other than the ceiling, it helps to ground the room. If the wooden window blinds match the floor, the eye will make the connection to the large area of the floor and add visual weight to the blinds. If the blinds are the same color as the window frame, it will give the visual appearance of detachment from the floor.
If you choose to match your wood blinds to the floor or window frame, it is a matter of your preference. If your window is located on a high wall and you want to reduce the visual height of the wall, then it would be better to match the blinds to the floor. If you combine wooden blinds with the window frame, on the other hand, you will draw attention to the window area and away from the floor, which can help make your wall appear taller. Your eye, as it travels across the room and wall, will stop at the visual weight created by the combination of the window and frame decor.
Since you want to draw attention to the most attractive areas of the room and divert attention from the less attractive, you can place window treatments accordingly to achieve the look you want.
