When you don't have the right curtains to match the furniture of your room, do you go and buy a new set? There are times in our lives that we realize why we study history and this is one proof of that.
My friend in London recently purchased her desktop computer and a broadband for Internet connection. She was excited to use it of course and so she situated a table by the window to give her a view of the greens when her eyes grow tired from the glare of the computer screen. However, she was not prepared when she noticed that dusts appeared on the table, even more so when it rained. She wanted to enjoy the cool, misty breeze, but she was afraid that it will damage her newly acquired computer. So, she rummaged through her drawers for curtains to use as a shield from the dust and tried to be contented with closing the windows shut when it's raining.
To her dismay, nothing from the curtains seem to match the colors of her furniture. Does she have to buy a new set of curtains? What can be easier to do? So she went browsing through the web and alas, she found some nice articles on blinds – roman blinds at that! She did not know that blinds have citizenship too!
Kidding aside, roman blinds came to be known for their name because the idea was first introduced by the Romans during the rise of the Roman Empire. Basically, it was used to shield the room from dust and sunlight, to which it still serves the same function.
The Roman blinds have evolved and you can even purchase wood blinds. These blinds come in shades of almost white wood to dark brown, depending on which you prefer. Why is it the perfect choice for my friend's window?
Wood is naturally brown. Interior designers say that if you are at a loss on deciding which color to match the blinds with your furniture, look at nature and you will never go wrong. I believe they were absolutely right!
The shades of wood can go with any color of furniture you have. Even if the room contains modern furniture, you can just throw a brown rug to match the blinds and you're done!
What makes Roman wood blinds more desirable for your window is the fact that it is easier to clean. You don't have to remove it from your window fixture to have it cleaned up. Just a broom or some damp cloth, all cleaned up, just like that.
My friend was even more excited when she had it installed. She said, she can easily lower or raise it depending on how she want the sunlight to go through. At night, she enjoys the cool breeze yet, unworried about privacy issues. The woven wood blinds make it impossible for anyone to decipher any shadows from inside the house, making it the perfect choice for her.
When I mentioned that she can have it repainted to a shade she wants, she even grew more excited. She knew that she made the right choice when she heeded the advice of interior designers to look at nature when you are undecided on what color to use.
