Rise and Shine Automatic Window Blinds

Posted under Window Blinds

I modified my alarm clock to open my bedroom shades whenever the alarm goes off (with buzzer or silently). Since the shades are now motorized they also open/close with a push of a button!

Help choosing colour of Roman Blinds for bedroom?

Posted under Roman Blinds

Hi, I’m trying to choose what colour roman blinds to have in my bedroom. My walls are cream (doors and skirting boards are white) The carpet is a deep heather/pink colour (I think more pink then purple though) my furniture is white. Could anyone suggest a colour of roman style blind that would look good, I’m guessing the carpet is the dominant colour, the walls are the medium colour so I guess I am looking for an accent, white possibly? or is that to stark? Help!! I have no idea!!!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks x

Hi,
I am qualified in interior design and will help!
From what you have described I would go with something which has the carpet colour in. If you go for white or cream then your eyes will be drawn to the carpet colour when you walk in the room. To avoid the carpet being too overpowering in the scheme you would need to either have the same colour blinds as the carpet or blinds that have a mixture of the rooms colours, ie a patterned cream/white/heather. I would suggest heather cushions or accessories somewhere in the room too to tie the whole thing together, just don’t go overboard! Good luck!
