A Simple Guide to Combining Blinds with Curtains
Layering window treatments is an excellent way to experiment with your home's interior design. One of the most popular combinations homeowners like is blinds and curtains. This dynamic duo can offer many aesthetic and functional benefits to a space.
Our team at Enhancement Window Design can help you find the perfect combination of blinds with curtains for a complete, cohesive look.
The Functional Benefits of Layering Blinds with Curtains
There are several functional advantages of layering your blinds with curtains, such as:
More Privacy and Security
When you double up on window treatments, like blinds and curtains, you add another layer of privacy, making your home feel more secure from passersby. This extra layer of privacy can help in several scenarios, including when traveling away from home and sleeping in.
Extra Energy Efficiency
Combining blinds with curtains is an excellent way to insulate your home. When both treatments are entirely closed, your home will stay comfortable during hot Florida summers and rainy, cool winters. Having better insulation in your home can also help reduce your energy bills.
Better Light Management
Blinds and curtains can work together to provide different lighting options. You can draw back the curtains to let more light in or keep both treatments closed to let less light in. It all depends on the time of day and your personal preferences.
The Aesthetic Benefits of Layering Blinds with Curtains
While you may choose to layer your window treatments for their functional aspects, there are also aesthetic reasons you might combine your blinds and curtains, including:
Increased Depth and Textures
Combining blinds with curtains will instantly add depth and texture to your home’s design. Since you can select from various blind and curtain styles, there are several options. For example, you may choose faux wood blinds, like EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, and pair them with sheer curtains in your living room for a timeless, soft look between the two types of materials.
Enhanced Interior Design Styles
Mixing up the color of your blinds and the patterns and fabrics of your curtains will create various styles. For example, consider layering velvet curtains with real wood blinds, such as Parkland® Wood Blinds by Hunter Douglas, for an elegant look. If you prefer a modern look, try metal blinds with bold, bright curtains.
Added Seasonal Options
Layering blinds and curtains will offer you seasonal variety. By changing the curtain style, you can change the look of your windows from season to season. In spring and summer, opt for a lighter, airier fabric. Then, go with a thicker, weightier fabric in the fall and winter.
Automate Your Blinds and Curtains
In a time when technology takes center stage, automate your blinds and curtains for even more state-of-the-art convenience. The award-winning PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas is an innovative window treatment motorized solution that allows you to control your blinds and curtains with an app, remote, or smart home system.
You can enjoy elevated security by programming your blinds and curtains to open and close at certain times of the day. This feature enhances privacy and security, making your home appear occupied while you’re away.
