Matching Your Blinds to Your Walls

Why Your Wall Colour Matters

Choosing the right blinds starts with understanding your paint colour. White paints may seem simple, but their cool, neutral or warm undertones can significantly impact how your window furnishings look in the space.

Matching your blinds to your wall colour helps create a cohesive, balanced feel. Whether you want your window furnishings to blend in or subtly contrast, getting the tone right is key.

Note: These recommendations are a guide to help with sample selection, not exact matches. Lighting in your home will affect how both paint and fabrics appear. Always test and colour match with our free samples in your space before making a final choice.

Lighting Changes Everything

Paint and fabric tones don’t stay consistent throughout the day. Sunlight, shade, and artificial light can shift how warm or cool they appear.

To get the best match:

• View your fabric samples at different times of day.

• Hold samples up next to your painted walls, in natural and artificial light.

• If you’re layering sheers and blockouts, view them together to ensure the tones and textures work in harmony.

Taking the time to test your samples in the actual space will give you the confidence that your final choice is the right one.
