Blue Roman Blinds & Window Shades

Serenity, sheer serenity! That is blue’s personality - calming like the tranquil seas and skies from where it is borrowed. Unsurprisingly, multiple studies have concluded that it is a universal favourite across various cultures and demographics. Bringing blue to home decor is a logical conclusion to that gracefully ageing obsession and roman blinds are a great place to start as they occupy vertical space at an eye-level position -  a strategic position for garnering attention. So, explore The White Window’s blue roman blinds where the daintiest azure and the deepest navy blue don various patterns, finishes and textures representing varied tastes. Before you launch into a shopping spree though, pause here to fish some ideas and tips for integrating your made-to-measure blue roman blinds into your aesthetic vision-

Go Light for a Calming Visual

Bringing light and muted blues to your roman blinds transmits much the same visual effect as gazing into the blue yonder of a vast sky or deep sea. So, pick calming blues for your roman blinds for any room where you want the ambience to be hushed down and serene. It could be the foyer where you want a comforting colour to greet you as you enter the home or the bedroom where you wish to rest from all the hubbub.

No matter which room or what decor style, if you want to create an atmosphere of relaxation, pale blues are worthy candidates. Take, for example, our Glass Shower blinds, which make a soothing melange of soft greys and blues on a continuously running leaf silhouette pattern. They evoke the nostalgic charm of a rainy morning’s misty blues when overcast clouds paint the atmosphere with sombre hues and lulling pitter-patters. 

Pick Navy Blue Roman Blinds for a Moody Space

Some rooms look best when rigged out in cavernous palettes and to such belong the whole spectrum of dark and sombre blues. These deeply saturated shades of blue propel the mind into a reflective moment - the ultimate goal behind going moody with the palette.

So, if you have a Victorian-style dark wood library, an Art Deco man cave, an industrial-style condo, a rustic wood cabin or a moody Scandinavian home, add navy blue blinds to the mix of dark greys, charcoal blacks, deep purples and swarthy reds. Take our Monsoon Midnight blinds, for example, which offer a deep dark navy blue, its nocturnal bliss further accentuated between the dense wefts and warps of a lustrous velvet.

Pepper this inky room with warm lights, relaxing music and delightful scents and there you have your lovely evening ambience where you can unwind after a long day, hold your late-night parties or fix an eleventh-hour dinner date. 

Make Blue the Design Statement

The prime advantage of going for custom roman blinds is to leverage the endless potential of fabrics to bring any colour of your choice to the interiors. So, if you are an unapologetic obsessor of blue and want to make it the central feature of your home design, don’t miss the opportunity to bring it on in a strong dose with your made-to-measure roman blinds. 

Consider a blind like Ultra Blue that will inject your space with a rich shot of cobalt blue, commanding on the eye, but not intimidating like a fiery red or flashy like a lustrous yellow. Or, choose a patterned blind that brings a strong presence of blue through a hard-to-ignore large-scale motif as in the case of  Jovial Forest blinds. Its grand-sized turquoise blue florals are committed to grabbing attention and this blind can't be anything but a stunning jaw-dropper, a veritable showstopper.

Or, consider a darker shade of blue that offers a deep contrast to the sweeping palette. Like, our Sweet Saphyre blinds that have a striking toile print on a beautiful shade of navy blue. Besides offering visual depth, this blind offers an engaging motif that adds a unique personality and a classic touch to the room’s decor.

Build Upon the Coastal/Nautical Theme

Part of the reason behind opting for made-to-measure roman blinds is the creative bandwidth it offers to pick the precise pattern, colour, and fabric required to build on the central theme. If you live in a lakefront home or are decorating your home in the coastal/nautical decor style, blue window blinds could be your default choice. But not every blue speaks to the theme, so ‘which blue’ is a pertinent question. 

In the coastal decor style, you may look for ebullient blues that represent the glazed seas and sun-soaked beaches. Top that with the relaxed homely feel of natural airy materials like linens, cottons and sheers, and countrified patterns like low-contrast stripes and delicate florals. Like, Lustre Sky which recaptures the calm of the sea with its soft blues and linen-like textures or Whisp Waltz which brings dainty floral patterns on a gauzy cool white.

In a nautical-themed decor, go for darker blues on slightly heavier materials that represent the robust sailcloth and thick beddings used to weather the cold sea winds. Dark blue-white awning striped Drift House and plain velvet Armada are prized navy blues from our collection that perfectly air the maritime trope with their colours and patterns.  

Sweeten a Little Man’s Nursery with Dainty Blues and Fun Touches

For almost a century now, blues have reigned in boys’ nurseries and bedrooms, spreading sauve youthful elegance. From baby showers to christening ceremonies, babywear to nursery accessories, blue becomes the flagbearer of the young man’s personality. So, why not, the window dressings of his little cave as well?

Consider an airy blue sheer roman blind like Gypsy Wind that epitomises daintiness in its tender gauzy blue. Pair it with our Ultramarine blackout shades to darken the nursery for nap time. Or, consider a one-stop answer in a blind like Ocean Cruise or Navy Archer and back it with a blackout lining for room-darkening and acoustic benefits.

And, if you have added a lighthearted angle of a pirate theme to the decor for your little Captain Pugwash fan, consider our navy blue-red striped cotton Delmare blinds. Combine with raw wood textures, antique furniture and nautical paraphernalia for a full-on maritime appeal. 

Beachy Blues for En Suite Bathrooms, Powder Rooms & Laundry Rooms 

Drawing upon a theme in any space is easier if its innate characteristics, geographical location and purpose are already well-aligned with it. That’s why blue is the most legitimate choice for spaces like bathrooms, powder rooms and laundry rooms.

A spacious en suite bathroom that enjoys a seaview through its large picture window is only asking for some enthusiastic decor decisions to create a relaxing Bahamas-style waterside ambience. And, the powder room - which is often a small jewel box - is perfect for all kinds of thematic decor, but especially for an aquatic one. 

So, make use of the opportunity and convert these spaces into relaxing ‘spathrooms’, seaside saunas and mini beachfront spa salons with thematic accessories, suitable fixtures and, of course, the right blue blinds. Think of bright sea blue Pearl Bank blinds in a bathroom with white walls and beige floors, for example - no better way to recall a breezy seacoast. Or, opt for a blind like Neptune Liner that, through an ombre-style print, brings the coastal theme on with the triadic beachy colours. Or, choose one like Haria that adds cheerful intonations with green and yellow accents to the standard blue and white to give it a more summery feel.

In Closing

From unfurling the flag of peaceful bliss to recreating the nostalgic mood of a seaside stroll, blue roman blinds come with a vast creative potential that décor enthusiasts crave. Be it your state-of-the-art beachy ‘spathroom’, your kids’ safari-themed bedroom or the kitchen patio’s misty morning looks, blue roman blinds have a unique role to play that only they can. Scroll through our dreamy sheers and room-darkening blackouts, dramatic silks and glossy velvets, homely cottons and textured linens, and find the silken powder blue, perky turquoise or musing navy blue that will achieve your vision for your home.
