How to use horizontal blinds to make your interior look cosy and trendy?
Do you feel like horizontal blinds have gone out of fashion? You might be surprised to learn that even this seemingly ordinary element can create a cosy atmosphere in your interior and look stylish. It just depends on how you integrate them into the space. In this article, we will show you how to use horizontal blinds so that they match your interior and at the same time serve as a practical element.

Appropriate shape of windows is crucial

Horizontal blinds stand out best on simple windows. They are not disruptive there and make the entire space seem calmer and cleaner. In addition, they are much easier to control. One move or pressing a button on the remote control and you can conveniently pull down/up or tilt the blinds. It is not that easy on segmented windows. The smaller blinds you have, the more difficult they are to control and maintain.

If you are looking for a modern and stylish solution, focus on large-area horizontal blinds with wide aluminium slats with a width of 35 or 50 millimetres. There is a simple rule that applies here, which is also followed by interior designers: large areas deserve large patterns (in our case, we mean slats).

Take advantage of unusual placement of blinds

Long gone are the days when blinds were mounted exclusively on the window frame or between window panes. Today, you have many more options for working with them in the interior. Installation on the wall or ceiling looks very good, which will help you create an elegant screen. Thanks to it, you can easily hide the window frame, window handle and window sill. The interior will be unified, acquire a clean look and will have a calmer impression. In addition, such a solution will help you achieve a minimalist style that will emphasize other elements in your home.

Match the colours

When choosing blinds, think about the atmosphere you want to create in your interior. Warm shades such as beige, cream or light brown will suit space with wooden elements, as they harmonize with natural materials and soften the overall impression. In modern interiors with clean lines and neutral colours, blinds in white, grey or anthracite will stand out beautifully.

We recommend colour harmonization according to the walls, furniture, textiles or window frames, so that everything looks harmonized and natural. In bright rooms, soft tones will work well, which will promote a sense of calm and simplicity. Darker shades such as anthracite, walnut or black will bring contrast to the room. However, always combine these colours with enough daylight or light walls so that the space does not feel too heavy. High-quality ISOTRA blinds do not look cheap, because they have high-quality coating, and thanks to the wide range of shades, you can easily match them with any style of living.

Choose the right material

When decorating your interior, the material of your blinds should match the style of the entire room. Aluminium blinds are a popular option because they look clean, elegant, and fit into modern and minimalist spaces. Thanks to their smooth surface, they are easy to clean and do not look distracting in the interior. In our offer, you will find various slat widths and colour shades, so you can easily match them with the colour of the walls, furniture, or window frames.

However, if you care about a cosy atmosphere and want the space to look more natural, we recommend choosing wood-decorated blinds or blinds with wooden slats, which you can also find on our website. This type of shading is perfect for interiors in rustic, Scandinavian or natural style. Wood tones soften the overall impression, add warmth to the room, and combine well with textiles, carpets, soft lighting, and indoor plants.

Play with light

What makes horizontal blinds unique is the ability to control the light. You can tilt the slats to decide how much light you let in and where they cast shadows. For example, in the morning, you can set the slats so that the room is pleasantly lit, while in the evening you can easily close them for more privacy and peace.

Unity throughout your home

A great advantage of horizontal blinds is the possibility of unifying them throughout the entire apartment. If you use the same type of slats and colour on all windows, you create a natural rhythm and visual order in the interior. This detail can significantly enhance the overall impression of the space, and it is just consistency that is highly valued in modern interior design today. This way you achieve the impression of well-thought-out and coherent style, even if each room is decorated a little differently.

Note: Minimalism leads

The trend in recent years has been focusing on clean lines and airiness. Many modern interiors are abandoning curtains and drapes, which can appear cumbersome or visually clutter up the space. Horizontal blinds in this context perfectly replace the function of textiles. Thanks to the subtle shine of the slats, smooth surface and easy control, they create a feeling of lightness, while maintaining privacy. This is an ideal solution for small rooms or low ceilings, because the room will not be optically reduced, on the contrary, it can give a larger and brighter impression.

Do you want to have blinds at home that will endure many years, beautiful and functional? Take a look at our website and choose which ones would suit your home best. If you are not sure which blinds to choose for your home, do not hesitate and contact our experts. They will be happy to advise you and help you with the selection.

How to start composting: you can have a vermicomposter in your apartment
Compost production is not complicated, and you can easily reuse up to 40% of your household waste. For a family house with a garden, compost should be a natural thing - if you follow a few rules, the compost will not smell or be a nuisance in any way, but you can compost with the help of a closed vermicomposter, for example, in a block of flats. Starting composting is easy - just fence off a suitable piece of land or buy a compost bin and find out what you can compost and in what proportion.
