Redecorating one or more rooms in your home can be part of your recent New Year’s Resolutions. It’s easy to maintain if you stick to classic methods for changing the look of a room. Paint can have a huge impact on changing the entire feel of a room, as can the drapes you choose. If you want to try something new, wood blinds can add a touch of richness to your home’s bedroom, library, dining room or living room. Knowing which colors of wood blinds to buy when shopping for decorative items for your room remodel will go a long way in giving your room a cohesive visual appearance with the room’s flooring and window frame.

Wood window blinds add a warm, natural look to any room, just as hardwood floors would. When the blinds are down with the slats closed, wood blinds offer excellent privacy, light control, and efficiency in blocking out cold air.

Since the floor of the room you want to decorate is the largest area of ​​the room aside from the ceiling, it helps to ground the room. If your window’s wood blinds match the floor, the eye will make the connection to the large floor area and add visual weight to your blinds. If the blinds are the same color as the window frame, it will give the visual appearance of detachment from the floor.

Whether you choose to match the wood blinds to the floor or the window frame is a matter of preference. If your window is located on a tall wall and you want to reduce the visual height of the wall, then it would be best to flush the blinds to the floor. Matching the wood blinds to the window frame, on the other hand, will draw attention to the window area and away from the floor, which can help make your wall appear taller. Your eye, as it travels across the room and along the wall, will be stopped by the visual weight created by the combination of window display and frame.

Since you want to draw attention to the most attractive areas of the room and draw attention away from the less attractive ones, you can place your window treatments accordingly to achieve the look you want.
