How to Decorate Your Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds look elegant and are highly practical window treatments at your home. They can provide privacy, allow the right amount the sunshine inside, and complement your room style, whether it is modern or traditionally-designed.

But what more can you do to decorate those blinds? There are a hundred ways where you can. And, we have gathered here a few methods where you can implement them in your home within your set budget.

The Right Colour Does the Trick Always

The blinds are available in almost all the colours you know – from light shades to dark tones and patterned designs. Choosing the right colour suitable for your window or room is itself a decoration you can give to your straight-angled blinds.

For instance, in the bedroom, you can go for bold shades of blues and greens. Or if it is a baby’s room, select wooden vertical blinds that obstruct maximum sunlight. In the kitchen, you can select typical designs and colours like white or ivory. You can even choose to have the blinds as blackout blinds if you want to, depending on what room you want to block the light out of – this is usually the bedrooms!

You can adjust these blinds by moving them from side to side. So, see that whatever colour you are choosing is looking good even when you change the direction of the blinds. If you need more clarity or information, approach professionals, and they will suggest which shades look best depending on the room and style of your home.

Add Lamps or Stylish Lights

Lights are the decorative pieces that never go out of style. And who would say no to the extra light at the night times? If you install lights on either side of the window sills, it will not only add warmth and colour to your blinds but also brightens up the whole room.

It is particularly helpful if you have a large room and need extra light (after all, a single source of light cannot do the job of lightning up the whole room). Or if you have a table near the window, you can turn on those lights instead of fitting a table lamp, especially if you are the person who hates the nearness of the light intensity.

And the best part is, window blinds adorned with decorative or designer lights can hike up the aesthetics, ultimately increasing the value of your home. So, when you decide to sell the house, it will fetch a higher price for you.

Top It Off with A Layer of a Curtain

For a more sophisticated look, you can add a thin layer of a curtain on the top of your blinds. But what use does it have? For starters, it will keep your nosy neighbors away from peeking to check what is happening in your home, especially when you kept the blinds open.

And it has a couple of practical uses too. For instance, the added curtain act as a protection layer from dust and dirt entering your home. As germs can pass through the empty gaps present in between the blinds, the added thickness will obstruct them from entering your home.

Aesthetically, the curtain on blinds can elevate your interiors, if you complement it with the right design and colour. Whether you are choosing a contrast colour or keeping it the same with the blinds’ colour, see that the curtain is not standing out odd in your room.

Wavy Blinds for A Unique Look

Do you know vertical window treatments are available in curved designs? Yes, they do. In contrast to the standard straight-edged blinds, wavy blinds have curvy or zig-zagged edges.

It is a simple way to achieve uniqueness in your home. As they have differently-shaped edges, they can bring attention to them quickly. You can turn your standard window space into something more beautiful, trendy, and modern. After all, the purpose of decorating is to elevate your interiors and ambiance, and wavy blinds just do the trick.

Even when you adjust the window blinds, whether you keep them open or closed, wavy shades do not decrease their beauty effect on your home.

Plants and Indoor Pots as Decorative Pieces

If you are a person who prefers traces of natural greenery at home, then you can place some potted plants near your vertical window treatments. You can put them on either side of the window or only one hand. They do an excellent job of enhancing the interiors and also your blinds.

If you don’t have idea about the plants, you can start with a money plant. They don’t require much maintenance and can easily thrive indoors. For more appeal, you can think of bonsai, bamboo plants, etc.

Paint the Blinds in A Style You Prefer

By far, this is the best way to decorate your blinds – by painting them in your style. Choose contrast colours and go for minimalistic designs to rightly elevate your blinds.

For instance, on cream or ivory blinds, you can paint the edges or semi-circles that look great when you open or close the curtains. On the other hand, on darker shades, go for polka dot or different light designs to highlight the blinds.

If it’s a kid’s room, you can paint their favourite things like stars, hero characters, toy designs, etc. In kitchens, you can go for contemporary designs or natural patterns like food dishes, leaves, fruit colours, etc.

Final Thoughts

There are multiple ways to decorate your vertical window treatments. The techniques mentioned above are just some of the ideas to get your gears running. When decorating your blinds or home, remember the limit is your imagination itself. However, keep the budget in your mind and plan to decorate your blinds accordingly.
