Window blinds can be a great way to make a room seem more spacious. Here are a few tips on how to use them to maximise the illusion of space:
Choose light-coloured blinds
Light-coloured blinds will reflect more natural light into the room, which can help make it appear larger. Keep the colours uniform. Avoid dark or heavy-coloured blinds, as they can make the room feel smaller and more enclosed.
Opt for sheer or semi-sheer blinds. Sheer or semi-sheer blinds will allow more natural light to enter the room, while still providing some privacy. This can help make the room feel more open and airy.
Go for simple, clean lines and designs.
Hang them high
Hang the blinds high. Hanging the blinds higher on the wall can make the ceiling appear taller, which can help make the room seem more spacious.
Vertical
If your room has a low ceiling, vertical blinds and shades will draw the eyes towards the ceiling. This will create an illusion of vertical height that will make the overall room appear more spacious and airy.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are a popular choice for smaller rooms. Fit them inside the window frame, and by leaving the areas around the windows bare, it creates a seamless and more spacious look.
Keep it open
When possible, keep the blinds open to let in as much natural light as possible. This can help make the room feel more open and bright.
By following these tips, you can use window blinds to make a room seem more spacious. Remember that natural light is key, so choose light-coloured, sheer or semi-sheer blinds that allow plenty of light to enter the room and keep them open as often as possible.
