Ways to Incorporate Blackout Blinds into Your Design

There are so many ways for you to incorporate blackout blinds into your design. I’m going to give you three different ways you can use blackout blinds in your design – whether you want to celebrate your view, celebrate the simplicity of blinds, or blend them in seamlessly.

1. If you have a great view that you want to see sometimes, just not when you’re sleeping or watching TV, blackout blinds are a great choice. You can raise them up completely to have an unobstructed view or open the slats so they’re perfectly horizontal. This will allow you to see the view but still maintain some privacy. When you’re trying to sleep or watch TV, you can close the blinds completely and you won’t have to worry about light seeping in or a glare on the TV screen.
2. Blackout blinds can be beautiful. If you choose a 2, 2 ½, or 3 inch wood blind, no one can say that they aren’t beautiful. Whether you choose stained or painted, wood or faux wood, you’ll be making a statement. Choosing routeless blinds will give you a more seamless look while choosing a contrasting color for your cloth tapes will really make your blinds stand out. Consider mounting your blinds outside of your window and extending them 6 – 8 inches past the window casing on every side. This can really make a statement and celebrate the clean lines of blackout blinds.
3. If you want your blackout blinds to blend in seamlessly, choose your color carefully. White faux wood blinds are selected often because they provide a clean look without standing out too much. You can also choose stained wood or faux wood blinds that match your color palette and wood choices. Routeless blinds are the way to go, since cloth tapes are unique enough to catch someone’s eye.

When looking at blackout blinds, consider what you’re going for before deciding on a type. Blackout blinds can do more than just block out the light, they can help complete your room.
