Neil Ginger, CEO of Origin Bi-Folding Doors, offers his advice on how fitting blinds can enhance interior decor, while complementing bi-folding doors.
Bi-folding doors make such a wonderful statement in a home, so it’s important that the blinds chosen to dress the doors are not only equally striking, but also fit with the style of a room. Blinds can be fitted in a number of ways to enhance the decor of a property:
Add a splash of colour
Keeping walls neutral and incorporating a colour scheme, fitting blinds, using soft furnishings such as cushions, lampshades and rugs is an easy and effective way to update the decor in a room without having to do any decorating. Colour schemes can be changed to reflect the seasons simply by switching these soft furnishings from rich, warm tones in winter to fresh, bright tones in summer.
Choose blinds to fit for style, not just functionality.
The type of blind fitted should take into account the use for the blinds, but also the style of the interior. Roman blinds are a classic, elegant addition to period properties, while more modern home interiors suit vertical blinds.
Bring the outside in.
Bi-folding doors allow home owners to connect their home with the outside living space. So, why not match the floral tones of the garden to the blinds?
Mix and match
Home owners should look at fitting blinds to match their doors, in a variety of colours, or alternatively express their creativity with bold, contrasting colours and patterns. Origin Bi-Folding Doors, for example, has created nine eclectic colour palettes to encourage home owners to be more creative in their choice of colour for bi-folding doors. Rather than opting for the standard black, white or grey finish.
Be bold with print and colour
Bi-folding doors allow home owners to make a feature out of their doors, which should remain the case even when the blinds are closed. Choosing blinds in a bold print or colour, while keeping the rest of the decor neutral, will make the blinds stand out, especially with the sun shining through from outside.
