Which window covering suits your interior? A complete guide

Choosing new window coverings may sound simple at first – until you see how many options there are. Do you prefer the soft look of pleated blinds, the warm atmosphere of wooden blinds, or the clean look of shutters? And which colour best matches your interior?

When choosing the right window covering, appearance plays an important role, but there are several other factors to consider as well. Think, for example, about the type of window, the amount of daylight and how much privacy you would like. In this guide, we take you through the different options step by step, so you can discover which window covering best suits your interior.

Start with your interior style

Window coverings often take up a large part of the window surface and are therefore clearly visible in the room. That is why it makes sense to first look at your interior style. Do you want your window covering to blend subtly into your interior, or can it become a real eye-catcher?

Window coverings for a modern and minimalist interior

A modern interior is often characterised by clean lines, subtle colours and an uncluttered look. Window coverings with a simple design fit perfectly with this interior style.

Pleated blinds are a good option, for example. With the KeJe Splendid Pliss, you can choose from more than 130 different fabrics, allowing you to match the colour and look to your interior. The aluminium frame also provides a clean and high-quality finish.

The KeJe Latende aluminium blind, the KeJe Lamella and the KeJe roller blind also fit perfectly into a modern interior. Would you prefer your window covering to remain as subtle as possible? Then choose a colour that matches your window frame or wall.

Window coverings for a country-style and warm interior

A country-style interior is all about warmth, natural materials and a cosy atmosphere. Think of wood, soft fabrics and colours such as beige, cream and brown.

Wooden blinds fit perfectly with this style. The natural appearance of wood instantly adds extra warmth to the room. KeJe wooden blinds are available in various types of wood and at least ten colours per slat type. You can choose between slat widths of 35, 50 and 63 mm.

Pleated blinds can also work very well in a country-style interior. For example, choose a soft fabric in a warm or natural shade.

Window coverings for a Scandinavian interior

A Scandinavian interior is light, calm and functional. White, beige, soft grey tones and light woods are characteristic of this style.

Pleated blinds fit particularly well here – especially when you choose a light fabric that softly filters daylight. Would you like to add more wood to your interior? Then wooden blinds in a light wood tone can be a beautiful addition.

Try to preserve the light character of the room. Your window covering does not have to be exactly the same colour as your walls or furniture. A subtle difference in shade can actually add extra depth to the interior.

Window coverings for an industrial interior

Black metal, robust wood and dark colours are typical features of an industrial interior. In this type of interior, window coverings can have a slightly stronger presence.

The KeJe Latende is a great example. This window covering consists of 25 mm wide aluminium slats in an aluminium frame. The slats are available in more than 30 different colours.

Dark wooden blinds also suit an industrial interior very well. They combine the bold look of darker colours with the natural warmth of wood.

Window coverings for a colourful interior

Do you love colour? Then you can also make your window covering part of the room’s colour scheme.

For example, choose a shade that already appears in your sofa, rug or accessories. Thanks to the wide fabric selection of the KeJe Splendid Pliss and the various colour options of the KeJe Latende and KeJe Lamella, there are plenty of possibilities.

You do not necessarily have to choose a very bold colour. A soft green, warm earth tone or another subtle colour can already be enough to make the window feel more connected to the rest of your interior.

Which type of window covering suits you?

Your interior style gives you a good starting point, but it does not tell the whole story. Each type of window covering has its own characteristics. That is why you should also consider which practical features are important to you.

Pleated blinds: versatile and subtle

Pleated blinds are made from fabric that is folded into even pleats. This creates a soft and calm appearance that fits into many different interior styles.

KeJe offers several types of pleated blinds. The KeJe Splendid Pliss is fitted inside an aluminium frame and features top-down/bottom-up operation. This means you can move the fabric both from top to bottom and from bottom to top. This allows you to decide exactly which part of the window you want to cover.

With the KeJe Day 'n Night, you combine two different fabrics in one frame. For example, you can combine a decorative fabric with another fabric that provides more privacy or blackout.

KeJe also offers products such as the KeJe Fixed Window Pleated Blind and free-hanging pleated blinds. For extra convenience, electric versions are also available, such as the KeJe Splendid Pliss Electric.

Jaloezieën: veel controle over de lichtinval

Wil je gedurende de dag gemakkelijk bepalen hoeveel licht er binnenkomt? Dan zijn jaloezieën interessant.

Door de horizontale lamellen te kantelen verander je de hoeveelheid en richting van het binnenvallende licht. Je hoeft de raamdecoratie daardoor niet helemaal te sluiten wanneer je meer privacy wilt.

De Latende van KeJe heeft aluminium lamellen van 25 mm en wordt in een aluminium frame geplaatst. Het systeem wordt zonder boren of schroeven gemonteerd.

Wil je juist een warmere en natuurlijkere uitstraling? Dan zijn Houten jaloezieën vrijhangend een goede keuze. Daarmee combineer je de praktische lichtregeling van jaloezieën met de uitstraling van echt hout.

Venetian blinds: maximum control over incoming light

Would you like to easily control how much light enters the room throughout the day? Then Venetian blinds are an interesting option.

By tilting the horizontal slats, you can adjust both the amount and the direction of incoming light. This means you do not have to close the window covering completely when you want more privacy.

The KeJe Latende features 25 mm wide aluminium slats and is fitted inside an aluminium frame. The system can be installed without drilling or screwing.

Do you prefer a warmer and more natural look? Then wooden blinds are a great choice. They combine the practical light control of a Venetian blind with the natural appearance of real wood.

Shutters: a striking part of your interior

Would you like your window covering to become a more prominent feature in your interior? Then shutters can be a suitable choice.

The KeJe Lamella combines the look of shutters with adjustable slats. Using the integrated handle, you can tilt the slats and control both the light entering the room and your level of privacy. The slats are available in widths of 30 and 40 mm and in various colours.

The clean lines make this solution particularly suitable for modern and industrial interiors, while a softer colour can also work beautifully in a calm and understated interior.

Roller blinds: simple and subtle

Would you like a window covering with a simple look that does not attract too much attention? Then a roller blind is a good option.

KeJe offers the KeJe roller blind, among other options. The roller blind is fully made to measure and is available with both decorative and blackout fabrics. The frame can be installed without drilling or screwing.

For larger windows, you can choose a free-hanging roller blind. By matching the fabric colour to the wall, the roller blind blends subtly into the interior. By choosing a contrasting colour, you can deliberately create more visual impact.

Consider not only your interior, but also your window

Your preferred window covering must of course also be suitable for the window where you want to install it. The type of window and window frame are therefore just as important as your interior style.

Window coverings for uPVC windows and tilt-and-turn windows

With uPVC windows, you often prefer not to drill or screw. A tilt-and-turn window should also remain easy to open and tilt.

KeJe offers various framed solutions for this, including the KeJe Splendid Pliss, the KeJe Day 'n Night, the KeJe Latende, the KeJe Lamella and the KeJe roller blind. These systems are attached to the window frame using magnetic tape and steel tape. As a result, drilling or screwing is not required.

You can find more suitable solutions on our pages about window coverings for uPVC windows and window coverings for tilt-and-turn windows.

Window coverings for large windows

Do you have large window surfaces? Then free-hanging pleated blinds, wooden blinds and free-hanging roller blinds are worth considering.

The free-hanging collection offers various operating options and is suitable for larger dimensions. This means you can also choose a solution for larger windows that complements the rest of your interior.

Window coverings for roof windows

There are also several options for roof windows. The KeJe Supplente was developed for roof windows and outward-opening windows. This system combines a pleated blind with an integrated pleated insect screen. This gives you both window covering and insect protection in one product.

Depending on the installation situation, the KeJe Fixed Window Pleated Blind can also be used for roof windows.

How do you choose the right colour for your window covering?

Have you chosen the type of window covering you want? Then the next decision is the colour.

Do you mainly want to create a calm look? Then choose a shade that is similar to the colour of your wall or window frame. This makes the window covering less noticeable and creates more visual unity in the room.

Would you like to create more warmth? Then wood and natural shades are a good option. Beige, brown and wood tones in particular are easy to combine with other natural materials.

By using contrast, you can deliberately make your window covering stand out more. Think, for example, of a dark window covering against a light wall. This gives the window a more prominent role within the interior.

You can also use your window covering as a colour accent. For example, repeat a colour from your rug, sofa or accessories at the window. This helps connect different elements of your interior.

Do not forget about light and privacy

Appearance is important, but window coverings also serve a practical purpose. That is why it is worth considering how much daylight and privacy you want in a room.

Would you like to flexibly cover a specific part of the window? Then top-down/bottom-up pleated blinds are an interesting option. Would you like to control very precisely how light enters the room? With Venetian blinds or shutters, you can tilt the slats accordingly.

With a roller blind, on the other hand, you can easily cover a larger section of the window.

The fabric you choose also plays an important role. A decorative fabric allows relatively more light into the room, while a blackout fabric is designed to block out as much light as possible. The most suitable option therefore also depends on the room itself. You will probably have different requirements for a living room than for a bedroom.

Complete your interior with the right window covering

Window coverings have a major influence on the overall look and feel of a room. Pleated blinds create a soft and versatile look, wooden blinds add warmth to your home and aluminium Venetian blinds give you plenty of control over incoming light. Shutters can make the window a more striking feature, while roller blinds can create a particularly calm appearance.

Which window covering suits your interior best ultimately remains a personal choice. Consider your interior style, but also remember to take into account the type of window, the amount of incoming light and your need for privacy.
