Blind faith!

If you’re thinking about updating your blinds, don’t do what everyone else in the world does and go boring white or neutral… be creative!

A centre panel of one colour framed with a pretty patterned fabric here looks so fresh and really draws the eye to the lovely window and outside view.

You can reverse the style by having the centre panel with a dramatic pattern bordered by two panels of a contrasting or matching colour as with the image above. The end result is a bold but classic look.

Here a really gentle pattern adds a sweet note to the quite traditional layout, softening what could have been an austere look with all the multiple architectural drawings hung symmetrically.

This final look is my favorite.  Black and white 60′s advertising photos have been screen printed onto the blinds.  The options today for printing and textiles means you are only limited by your imagination.  Remember, when the day is done and your blinds are down…why stare at a blank white rectangle when you can be staring at something that you realy love?
