Tips on Picking Colors for Honeycomb Blinds


 Author by Susan Slobac
Honeycomb blinds are quickly taking the window treatments world by storm for several reasons. Cellular blinds are visually appealing, affordable and can save money. Honeycomb shades are well known for their ability to better insulate your home; saving you money in the cost of heating and cooling bills.

With all of this, you might find that your decision to buy honeycomb blinds is already made. However, when it comes to window treatments, color is an essential decision. The color of your honeycomb shades is going to come down to personal preference. Some people love certain colors, others simply loathe them. Here are a few tips to point you in the right direction:

Consider the Light
Honeycomb blinds come in a variety of colors. These include soft colors, bold colors, bright colors, and dark colors. Certainly the colors in the room will play a major factor in your color choice. A room decorated in dark red, for instance, might not mesh with bright blue blinds. Matching colors is not the only factor to consider. The amount of light you want shining into your room will also play a large role in deciding on the color of your new honeycomb blinds. Darker colors, for instance, will keep more light out than lighter colors.

Think Ahead
Another factor to consider when deciding the color of honeycomb shades is the future of your room. Since these types of shades are very durable, your new blinds may outlast the paint scheme of the room. If you are planning on redecorating a room or you tend to change things around with frequency you may want to purchase blinds that will go with virtually any decor. Tan and off white colors are much more versatile than bright yellow. Keep this in mind if you can see yourself repainting or redocorating the room in the next 5-10 years.

Be True to Self Expression
Ultimately, window treatments are about you and your self expression. Color is a huge part of this self expression. While you should consider logistics such as how much light you want shining in and how well colors will match, you really should buy window blinds that you truly like. If you can’t stand pastel colors, don’t get blind in those colors. If you think that the dark teal looks nice but just isn’t you, find something that is. Your house is a blank canvas, paint it with the colors that you love.
