Living Room Blinds – How to Choose Window Coverings for the Room Where You Spend the Most Time

The living room is the place in the home where the family spends time together. This room has a truly representative function in our homes, which is why its practicality and appearance are considered important aspects of the living space. The finishing touch to the cake is certainly correctly chosen blinds, which the window coverings e-shop RULO recommends choosing primarily according to the size of your windows.

Large floor-to-ceiling windows

For larger windows, semi-blackout pleated blinds are a good choice, as they block excess sunlight but don't make the room pitch black. Additionally, the pleats can be opened from the top or bottom as needed or desired – this way you have much more options for light control compared to regular blinds.

Medium and small windows

For smaller windows, it's worth considering semi-blackout cassette blinds. Since a cassette blind is mounted directly on the window frame and the blind sits tightly against the glass, it doesn't let light seep in from the edges like other blinds do. A cassette blind is a convenient solution if you plan to open the window frequently or keep it in ventilation mode, because it moves with the window and so you won't end up in a situation where you have to choose between an open window and blinding light or a drawn blind and stifling heat.

But what if I still want blackout blinds?

RULO recommends 100% blackout window coverings for the living room, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Keep in mind that in this case, when the entire window is covered, the living room will be completely dark and natural light won't pass through the fabric into the room. However, if you still plan to have "movie nights" during the day or want to be in a "cave" with your gaming console, then blackout cassette blinds are the best choice. In this case, however, we recommend combining the blackout blind with a lighter curtain.

But what about color?

And what color is love? If we knew that, all blinds would be that color! But how do you choose the right color? If the room already has the main colors and accessories in place, the decision is quite easy to make. Use the dominant accent as your base and choose colors according to that, to emphasize the accent even more. For window coverings to blend in with the room, choose blinds or pleats in the same color and tone as the walls – this way the result will be light and airy.
