Blinds aren’t just functional—they’re also part of your room’s design. Choosing the right colour can elevate your space, tie everything together, or create contrast where you need it most.

Here’s how to choose blind colours that work with your furniture, walls, and overall style—not against them.

Match with Wall Colour for a Seamless Look

Want a clean, modern vibe that makes your room feel bigger? Choose blinds in a similar or matching shade to your walls.

Works best with:

• Neutral colour palettes (white, beige, soft grey)
• Roller blinds and blockout fabrics
• Minimalist and Scandi-style homes

Tip: Matching the wall tone keeps things subtle and visually open—great for small spaces.

Use Contrast for a Bold Statement

If your style leans more creative or bold, contrast is your friend. Dark blinds on light walls (or vice versa) create visual drama and highlight your windows.

Great combos:

• White walls + charcoal blinds
• Warm neutral walls + black-out blinds in navy or graphite
• Pale grey walls + deep oat or taupe textured fabrics

Tip: Stick to two or three main colours in a room to avoid clashing.

Pick a Blind Colour That Matches Key Decor Pieces

Look around—what colour appears most in your rug, artwork, or furniture? Use that tone in your blinds for a harmonised, designer-like finish.

Ideal for:

• Textured blockout fabrics
• Subtle patterns or weaves
• Matching or toning shades in sofa cushions, throws, or cabinetry

Tip: Apollo’s free swatches make it easy to compare fabric with your existing décor in person.

Choose Fabric Textures that Match Your Style

It’s not just about colour—fabric texture plays a big role too.

• For modern styles: Go for smooth or screen fabrics in cool tones
• For cosy or classic looks: Try linen-look or woven textures in warmer shades

Tip: Textured fabrics hide dust better and add softness to hard-edged rooms.

Final Tip: Test Before You Buy

Lighting affects how colours appear. A fabric that looks beige online might read grey in natural light—or vice versa.

That’s why Apollo offers free fabric swatches—so you can test in your home, against your walls and furniture.
