Combining sheer curtains and roller blinds is easy with our range of fabric combinations.
Are you looking for the perfect combination of style, light control, and privacy for your windows? Look no further than sheer curtains and roller blinds! These two are a match made in heaven and will provide you with the ultimate flexibility for your home. Not only do they allow you to control light levels with ease, but they also offer the privacy and insulation you need—day and night.
But sometimes trying to match the perfect blind and sheer curtain fabric can be tricky. So, to make things easier, we’ve introduced our range of coordinated fabrics. We’ve taken the guesswork out of choosing your roller blind and sheer curtain fabrics by developing combinations that complement each other. Not only will they provide you with a beautiful window covering solution, but one that is functional and affordable too.
Why You Should Install Blockout Roller Blinds
Identifying the needs of the space is the first step in choosing the right window treatments. Every room has different requirements, and knowing them will help guide your decorating choices.
- Bedrooms: Full light blockout is essential for a restful sleep, especially if you have a shift worker at home. Installing blockout roller blinds is a great option. By outside-mounting the blind and back-rolling the fabric, it sits closer to the window architrave, eliminating light gaps and offering the best blockout effect.
- Living Rooms: Light control can be more flexible here. Inside-mounted roller blinds provide a more streamlined and subtle finish if your windows have enough depth.
Once your roller blinds are installed, sheer curtains can be placed over both inside- and outside-mounted blinds, giving your room a soft, elegant touch. Let Sheerluxe Blinds and Sheer specialists help you choose the perfect combination for your home.
Go High and Wide with Your Sheer Curtains
The way you install your sheer curtains can drastically change how your windows and room are perceived. If you have standard or low ceilings, mounting the curtains closer to the ceiling can elongate the height of the space. Running the track past the edge of your window frame by at least 100mm on each side will also make your windows look larger. For a stunning designer-style finish, consider running your sheer curtains across the entire wall. This gives the illusion of larger windows and adds a luxurious feel to the room.
Think about your fabrics
There are a few things to think about in addition to the basic “Which colour?” question. Privacy, insulation properties and ease of cleaning should all be considered when making your choices. Let’s break it down.
Blockout roller blind fabric considerations
A full blockout fabric is great for light control and insulation all year round, and our Bali blockout blinds is a stand-out choice. Its thermal properties will help keep your rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and it’s also easy to maintain and clean, making it ideal for use in any room or any climate.
Bali Thermal blockout blind fabric is PVC, VOC and Lead-free as well as being fade resistant and fire retardant, making it a perfect choice and safe for your family too.
Sheer Curtain fabrics
Sheer curtains fabric are not just decorative. They provide daytime privacy, filter the light entering your room and help insulate against heat and cold too.
Bali sheer curtain is a beautiful, lightweight fabric. It is effortlessly elegant and its linen-like texture will add a gentle, soft floatiness to any room. Colour fade resistant and flame retardant, it’s a perfect option for your home.
The importance of colour choice
Colour choice is not just about what you like or what matches your room’s furnishings. Believe it or not, colour also plays a big part in the insulation stakes.
Consider the orientation of the room in relation to the sun. Are you facing north or west, and copping a whole lot of heat during summer? Light colours will reflect the light and heat, keeping a room cooler than darker colours will, as darker colours will absorb the heat. This is especially relevant for blockout roller blinds.
Choosing your colour
When placing a roller blind behind a sheer curtain, you’ll achieve the best outcome if your roller blind fabric is a tonal match. The sheer curtain should be the star of the show, so installing a complementary roller behind it means it will stand out and there will be nothing to distract you from its beauty.
And that’s exactly what Bali blends range offers you! The perfect combinations are already decided to make your choice easy. All you need to do is choose which colour works best for you and your interior (the colour names are the same in both the blind and the sheer curtain to make it really easy!).
- Whites: Snow, Chalk and Pearl
- Warm neutrals: Blush, Driftwood and Smoke
- Greys: Cloud, Ash and Thunder
- Dark tones: Storm and Black
