Choosing Window Treatments that Complement your Paint Colors

Blinds by Design • Feb 27, 2023

When it comes to home decor, there are a few key elements that can make or break the overall look and feel of your space. One of those elements is choosing the right paint colors for your walls in your Kentucky Home. But once you’ve found the perfect hue, how do you know which window coverings will complement it best? Keep reading for a few tips on how to pair window coverings with your paint colors like a pro!

Grays and whites are still popular for interiors, with warm grays being especially fashionable. These neutral shades can be used to create a contemporary look with minimalist vibes. Window coverings in whites or off-white tones can help brighten up a room, while dark gray shades can add contrast and drama.


Home paint colors are constantly evolving to reflect current trends. Currently, warm and muted tones are becoming popular for interiors. From earthy browns to deep navy hues and luscious greens, these colors create a cozy atmosphere that pairs well with complementary window coverings. Roller Shades and Natural Woven Wood Shades in neutral colors can add texture and depth while also allowing natural light to filter in.


Homeowners are increasingly mixing colors to create unique and interesting palettes, as opposed to staying in the traditional one-shade range. Darker tones can be used as accent walls while lighter ones are often used on larger areas of the home. Window coverings should work with the color palette and provide a nice contrast - for example, pairing bold deep blues and greens with sheer white drapes. Homeowners should also consider their room's purpose when selecting paint colors and window coverings, as each element is crucial for making different spaces feel comfortable.


Homeowners should not just think about the color of paint when selecting a home decor palette - the finish is equally important. Glossy finishes can make the room feel airier, whereas semi-gloss and matte finishes create a more muted and cozy atmosphere. Window treatments can also be used to complement the wall color: Sheer Shades are perfect for brightening up a darker-hued room, while Cellular Shades in bolder hues like burgundy, navy blue, or green can provide an interesting contrast against white walls. Roller Shades in a light filtering white Linen look marvelous against white walls for a modern minimalist look.
