Window dressing ideas for every room in your house

You want every corner of your home to feel like it’s yours. Every detail counts – from the colour of your walls to the various fixtures and fittings in each room.

When it comes to choosing the right blinds, you should pick something which complements a space and adds functionality. Different rooms have different requirements. Maybe you could try mixing curtains with blinds, or maybe it’s best to keep your window dressing simple with a pair of shutters.

The right style can make a huge impact on the look and feel of your home, so choose it’s important to choose carefully. For some guidance, take a look at this guide to some of the best blind ideas for every room in your home.

Best blinds for kitchens

The blinds in your kitchen will likely be positioned near your cooker or sink – so they’re particularly prone to splashes and stains. That’s why wooden blinds aren’t generally suited to your kitchen, as they can warp from exposure to steam and water.

But you can still get that authentic wooden look. Faux wooden blinds give the illusion of wood without the risk of damage. They’re easy to wipe down and maintain, making them perfect for the cooking splash zone.

Choose from lighter shades to lift the light streaming into your kitchen space, or add to that feeling of warmth by opting for a deeper toned blind.

Best blinds for bedrooms

Create a snug setting in your bedroom with Roman blinds. This type of window dressing can help create a cosy atmosphere and, if you choose blackout Roman blinds, can stop any light from getting in. This style of window dressing works well in bright and bold hues, and can really add an instant pop of colour to your space.

Roman blinds add a softer feel to a room, which makes them perfect for capturing the warm, intimate feel of a bedroom. For more options, check out these blind ideas for bedrooms.

Best blinds for bathrooms

A timeless addition to your bathroom space, roller blinds are perfect for shutting out the world as you sink back and relax in the tub. If you’re looking to enhance a simpler bathroom setting, choose roller blinds in a bright shade to add a burst of colour – or pick a stand out pattern to make a statement. If you’re going for a more neutral theme, choose neutral hues and softer looks to create a simple and elegant look.

Venetian blinds also make a good choice for your bathroom. Make sure you choose a waterproof variety to stop your blinds getting warped or discoloured by the moisture in your bathroom.

Best blinds for living room

The living room is often a showpiece in your home – so it deserves some striking blinds to boot. A gorgeous feature in any room, plantation shutters look particularly stunning in a living room setting. Fusing modern edge with traditional charm, shutters are an attractive choice. Plantation shutters can also help block out any road noise, creating a more peaceful, private space for you to relax. If you don’t want to fully shut the world out as you kick-back, half window shutters. As well as being chic and stylish, they also let the light stream through without passers-by being able to look in. 

Plantation shutters are also easy to keep clean, and can be paired with curtains or Venetian blinds for an even dressier window setting.
