Making The Right Color Selections For Your Window Treatments
Putting the final touches on your Bluffton home with window treatments can be a fun and rewarding project. However, homeowners seem to get stumped by two main aspects of the project-- the type of window treatments to choose and the color they want them to be. If you have already decided on the style of window covering you'd like, then you have already won half the battle! Let's take a look at some important tips for making color choices for your custom shutters, shades, or blinds in order to make completing the project that much easier.
Which Hue Will Do Right By You?
The choices that you make about your window blinds, shades, or shutters will provide results that you will have to live with for a long time to come. Set yourself up for long-term success by making sure the color is something that you can live with.
Don't make things too "matchy." By that, we mean having the same color repeated too many times within the same interior design plan or the same two hues over and over. Add some depth and dimension by introducing multiple colors at once, or even better, choose a beautiful drapery to add extra style. The only exception to this is if you are going for a strict black-and-white plan.
On the other hand, don't go overboard with daring color choices that don't match. The more the room clashes, the more unsettling it tends to feel to those spending time inside it. Going bold with one strong punch of clashing color is different, as in color block designs, and some people do use the window treatment as that splash of contrast color. Just make certain you don't overdo the amount of clashing hues you implement.
Avoid going too trendy, unless you have a plan and budget that allows for changes again within a year or so. The best way to introduce fad colors that will probably fall out of fashion around the time you've added them to your home is with easy-to-replace accent pieces. Go with subtle versions of a fad color, or neutral hues, and let the accent pieces steal the show.
Perhaps the most important part of this process is finding a reliable company you can partner with-- someone like Seaglass Windowscapes!
