When the seasons shift from the crisp cool of Winter to the warmth and vibrancy of Spring and Summer, it’s the perfect time to refresh your interior. With a few simple additions to your space you can create a light, lively feel that complements your existing roller blinds beautifully. Whether you love bright and bold colours, playful patterns, or a more subtle aesthetic, your roller blinds can become a key feature in your décor this season.
In this guide, we’ll explore how different styling choices can influence the overall ambience of your space, the latest trends for Spring and Summer, and how to incorporate additional elements like soft furnishings and greenery for a fresh, seasonal finish.
The Power of Styling: Colours, Patterns, and Accessories
The way in which you style your roller blinds can completely transform the look and feel of your space. We spoke with our interior experts here at Unbeatable Blinds to find out what to consider when styling your home this Spring.
Colour Choices
When styling your space for Spring, it’s important to consider what will go with your existing furniture and roller blinds. Lighter tones such as pastels, whites, and neutrals can make your space feel bright and airy, while bolder hues like coral, mustard, and teal can add a more vibrant energy. Earthy tones like sage green and terracotta are currently trending – and for good reason. They work well with a variety of neutral and bold tones and encourage warmth, giving your space a more natural feel.
Prints and Patterns
Whether you prefer subtle elegance or eye-catching statements, the design of your roller blinds play a significant role in styling. If your roller blinds feature delicate florals, geometric patterns, or tropical designs, it may be best to pair them with plain or textured accessories to balance everything out. However, incorporating matching prints with across your cushions and other accessories can create a cohesive look, while clashing patterns add a playful, eclectic touch.
Accessorising
To enhance the overall finish of your space, consider layering your roller blinds with curtains for added texture and depth. Soft linen curtains in neutral tones work well with vibrant blinds, while sheer curtains can diffuse natural light beautifully, adding an ethereal feel to your home. For a cosy finish, we love combining textures with cushions, throws and rugs in neutral tones – it’s the perfect way to complete the look.
Spring & Summer Trends for Styling Roller Blinds
As the seasons change, so do interior design trends which is why we’ve pulled together some of our favourite ways to style your roller blinds now that Spring is here.
Trending Colourways
This season, expect to see a rise in warm pastels, botanical greens, and ocean-inspired blues. Soft peach, sky blue, and buttery yellow are also great for creating a warm, welcoming space. What colours work best in your space will depend on the tones of your existing blinds and furniture. You can complement neutral tones with vibrant accent colours, while darker blinds pair beautifully with soft pastels to create contrast and balance in the space.
Soft Furnishings
Once you’ve got your colour scheme right, elevate your roller blinds by pairing them with complementary cushions, throws, and rugs. Textured fabrics like cotton and linen work beautifully to keep things light and breathable. Cushions work particularly well to introduce subtle pops of colour in an otherwise neutral interior. For spring, think about breaking things up a bit with green cushions or pink cushions with floral prints.
Layering with Curtains
While aesthetics are important, practicality can’t be forgotten about. Layering your blinds with curtains not only adds a polished finish to your window but can help block out the early morning sunlight during the summer months. Or, if you already have a blackout roller blind, consider sheer or light-filtering curtains to encourage privacy and soft, diffused light.
Embracing Biophilic Design
Spring and Summer styling is all about embracing the beauty of the outdoors. There’s simply no better way to do this than by incorporating greenery into your space. Think large potted plants, hanging planters, and delicate floral arrangements, each bringing your home to life. Greenery works especially well alongside bright or white roller blinds or those in earthy, botanical tones.
Embracing Pattern
Bold botanical prints, floral designs, and classic stripes are all on trend this season. If your roller blinds are neutral, consider pairing them with patterned cushions and rugs to add visual interest. Or, if you prefer a more eccentric look, pair patterned roller blinds with bold colours and try mixing and matching prints.
How you style your roller blinds is ultimately down to your own personal taste but with a few little tweaks it’s easy to transition your space from Winter to Spring and Summer. Consider your colour palette, patterns, and complementary elements such as soft furnishings and organic accessories. Whether you go for a minimal look or something bold and eclectic, the right styling choices can breathe new life into your space this Spring.
