Blinds over curtains

Thank you Annette who blogs at Wallys Paper for the post on blinds. It was lovely to see your warm home and how well the blinds fit in. I’m not sure I think the same about the blinds in my home !!

The living area blinds have a leafy print. Kind of feels like the shadow of the plants outside. The blinds are lovely… but am not so sure they fit in well with my traditional dark wood décor. What do you think??

Butterflies in my girls room look the best. They are very pleased and so am I!!! The blinds here are translucent (not transparent) which means that there is sufficient light in the house but it doesn’t get too hot in the summers.

This is the print ~


The blinds in my space are called ‘black out’ blinds, which means… if it’s not drawn the rooms looks absolutely dark. I’ve had these for a few days now and can actually feel the difference between curtains and blinds in a warm (rather hot), sunny place like Dubai!! You sure need blinds!

This is how my space looks ~

Well something doesn’t look right in my mom’s room. Don’t get me wrong, the blinds are lovely with little hearts on them, but don’t you think it looks rather bare, undressed types??!!! Please suggest how I can improve this~~ I have a few ideas in mind… and am working on them, but any suggestions are more than welcome!!



Check out more ‘Home Series Blinds’. I have also seen photographs and company logos printed on the blinds. I believe they can custom make and print anything, which I thought was rather impressive. Do check out Serial Trading Dubai who are the distributors on the blinds here for their complete range, and their counterparts in India are Marvel Trading. They obviously have the conventional styles, but the printed ones are out of this world… and I’ve never seen them before!!
