4 Cozy Window Covering Options for Your Bedroom

admin

 

Coziness is really just another way of saying get the conditions right for you to feel safe and sound enough to fall asleep. There are many ways you can improve your sleep habits. At the end of the day though, a cozy bedroom is what pulls you to snuggle under the covers for a good night’s sleep.

 

Window coverings play a crucial role in making the bedroom cozy. While some gravitate towards curtains, you may want to try something different with these 4 other cozy options:

 

Blackout Blinds

For a lot of people, the non-negotiable sleeping condition is shutting out as much light as possible that distracts them from their beauty sleep.

This is something that blackout blinds excel at. They’re the ideal window treatments if you’re someone who likes to sleep in total darkness with zero light pollution in the room. And for good measure, install side channels as well to eliminate light leakage around the edges!

 

Magic-Lite

Coziness can also be achieved through look and feel. Take a look at the Magic-Lite blinds, for example. They’re inspired by the look of shutters that brings with them that rustic, farmhouse appeal. What’s cozier than feeling like you’ve stepped away from the busy city life into a calm and pastoral setting?

 

Ninet

When you think cozy, softness immediately comes to mind and Ninet shades are softness personified. The shades are completely wrapped between two smooth, translucent fabrics that diffuses all light that passes through into a soft glow. Imagine walking into the bedroom to be greeted by the ethereal sight of the Ninet shades painting the walls with moonlight. That’s a dreamlike scene that’ll beckon you to the world of sleep.

 

Print-On Blinds

Another nice way to get you into a sleepy mood is using print-on blinds. With the ability to print whatever you want on these blinds, you can customize the last thing you see before you drift off to sleep. Your dreams can be inspired by the play of light from Impressionist paintings like Monet or bizarre juxtapositions from Surrealist paintings like Dali.

 

Rest well and sweet dreams, everyone.

How Print-On Blinds Can Be the Centrepiece of Your Interior Design

Although window blinds commonly play an accent role for interior designers, there’s really nothing stopping you from switching things up by making them the focus of the room. Print-on blinds are your best friend if you’re ready to push the design envelope.

 

Furniture matcher

If you have a furniture piece that you absolutely adore in a room, you can match its pattern or colour with print-on blinds. That way, both the furniture and the blinds point the spotlight at one another as the room’s centrepiece.

 

Symbolic motif

Does your family have a coat of arms? Or is there a particular symbol or motif that has a special meaning to you? Putting it up on your print-on blinds not only highlights it, but it also helps remind you of the meaning every night when you pull down the blinds. After all, the best time to reinforce something in your memory is just before bed.

 

Personal motto

You can do the same thing with a personal motto that resonates with you. Sometimes, a quote or motto that perfectly captures your beliefs is a strong guidepost to how you want to live your life. You can go even further by choosing a font style that reflects the tone of the message as well.

 

Art gallery

What if you can turn your house into a secret art gallery that appears as soon as the blinds are pulled down? Now you can display your favourite painting masterpieces with print-on blinds! For a more contemporary touch, curate abstract art with bold colours.

One cute, minimalist idea is to print on an icon that represents the room function or fits the room theme. Think cupcake for the kitchen blinds or a soap bubble for the bathroom blinds!

 

Photo exhibition

Instead of letting your favourite photos sit in your computer hard drive, why not put them up in all their glory on your window blinds? Your family photos can get a place up there along with memorable travel or vacation photos.

A great design choice would be using landscape or cityscape photos so that you get a fantastic view even when the blinds are closed.

 

Home business branding

Do you run a business from your office at home? You can make it look even more official by printing your logo on the office blinds. It can be tough to focus when you’re working from home and seeing your business logo up on display would be a huge motivation boost. You can also take inspiration from how commercial offices reinforce branding with their window blinds.

 

Now, go and be the interior design maverick you’ve always wanted to be!

You’ve got your starting point and colour schemes that mean something to you in Part 1. Now let’s look at other ways to select colours for your home:

THEMED COLOUR SELECTIONS

Why reinvent the wheel if there are colours that have proven to work well together already? Going with themed colour selections is the easiest way to do it if you’re open to outside ideas.

First off, you can always get a palette of the hottest colours of the year and try different combinations among them. The only risk with this idea is that if colour trends change dramatically in the next few years, your house may start look dated.
