Matching window decoration for every living style
Window decoration is an important and indispensable part of a home interior. Read here how to complete your furnishing with the best fitting window decoration
Different interior styles
Window decoration is an important part of interior design, because it completes your interior. Living styles tend to change over the years. Window decoration is part of that. Now, Scandinavian, industrial and botanical living styles are hot. In the 1980s and 1990s, we mainly saw different types of wallpaper combined with each other. And the trend colours were vanilla yellow and burgundy red. Wood veneer furniture was totally hip, on the floor was carpet or vinyl. And for the windows...there hung heavy curtains with prints, slats or valances....Don't know them? Google it.
Let's quickly go back to today's living trends. Looks better doesn't it? We don't see blinds for windows much anymore, and most valances seem to have been banished too. We now see mostly roller blinds, pleated blinds and horizontal blinds. And most window decoration goes well with any living style. Nevertheless, we would like to give you tips for three popular living styles and window decoration to match them.
Scandinavian living style
The Scandinavian living style is characterised by the use of light, neutral colours. Light wood and light furniture call the shots. It is an oasis of calm. This style of living is quite minimalist, but there is still room for atmosphere and cosiness. Besides the furniture, the light floor and the light colour on the wall, the window decoration is also often light in colour. Not necessarily white, but for example in a light shade of grey or beige. Pleated blinds and shutters, for example, fit perfectly in a Scandinavian style. You can fix a pleated blind at any height and play with light and privacy. With our Lamella; a shutter and blind in one, you add a touch of romance to your Scandinavian interior. Choose from 14 different colours and opt for matt or textured slats.
Clean & modern living style
Modern interiors are all about clean lines and shapes. Modern interiors generally lack colour, but they do use contrasts. Yet red, blue and yellow are typical colours that fit a modern style. Just like designer leather furniture, a glass table and smooth floors. Window decoration that fits this interior perfectly? Aluminium blinds. With these, you extend the sleek atmosphere to the window. How about black or anthracite blinds? And white is always good too, of course. By tilting the slats, you can easily create the atmosphere you want in your home.
Industrial living style
A very popular living style is one with industrial elements. It is a living trend that is all a bit more robust and tough. Wood, steel and leather are important materials in this style. And it can also be a bit darker. For instance, by choosing a nice dark wall and a concrete-look floor. When it comes to window decoration, quite a lot is possible. So it's nice and easy! Just like in the modern living style, aluminium blinds fit well within this style. But roller blinds or pleated blinds in a darker colour, for example, also look good in an industrial style.
