blissful blinds
Roman blinds are perfect for dressing up windows where minimal design and maximum style are a must. This type of window treatment can be casual or traditional, or even add a fun element to a plain room. The fresh, contemporary minimalism of roman blinds has made them tremendously well-liked in today's stylish home, giving a fashionable and cost-effective substitute to curtains.
If you decide to create your own Roman blinds, it's as easy as 1-2-3. Simply match the patterns and colours to your existing room decor to create a unique style that incorporates modern colours and fabrics.
ABOVE: This enclosed patio is given a nautical touch with the addition of blue, red and white striped blinds, creating a fresh look to an otherwise bland interior. You will also notice that although the room has quite a bit of clutter, the lines of the blind draw the eye towards the window and create an illusion of an ordered room - something to bear in mind if you are a bit of a clutterholic!
TOP RIGHT: Once again the use of a striped blind in coordinated colours gives this home office a well-ordered feel. The fabric was specially chosen to highlight the colours in the room.
MIDDLE RIGHT: If you're dressing up a room with a particular theme, use fabric in the same style for blinds. A breakfast nook decorated in airy pastel shades is dressed with a roman blind in a floral fabric in the same pastel shades used in the room.
BOTTOM RIGHT: Blinds are easily stencilled or painted to add a theme to a child's bedroom.
Purchase a plain cotton fabric and use stencils and fabric paint - or freehand painting techniques - for an amazing designer blind that will provide any room with a style that is unique.
Roman blinds are simple to make and don't require any expert sewing skills or fancy tools! With a little help, you can work your way up from the basic design to create your own range of beautiful, window treatments in no time.
All it takes is a bit of imagination.
