Three Tips On Increasing Curb Appeal



Most likely when choosing window coverings, our first concern is how complementary they will be with the room's decor. Next, we consider the function of the room and the amount of light required for the tasks we perform there. However, we very seldom consider how will these window coverings look from the street-side view of the home. We all want our home to be as fabulous on the outside as it is on the inside. The professionals at Blind Solutions of Colorado can offer you stunning colors and designs to enhance both the interior and exterior look of your home.
Here are three tips on increasing curb appeal to your home while complementing your home's decor and functionality.

Consider Color

Nothing makes a home look more disjointed and hodge-podge than having different colored window coverings in various windows. Also, if the window coverings look fabulous with your interior's decor but clashes with the home's exterior color scheme, there will be a definite reduction in curb appeal. With the multitude of colors available for window coverings, there are beautiful neutrals that

will complement both the exterior and interior of your home. To offer a clean and cohesive look, a good rule of thumb is to use white (or a neutral, complementary color to the house) facing the street.

Consider Structure

Another consideration for achieving great curb appeal is to have the same style of structured window coverings on the street side of your home. The clean lines of structured window coverings accentuate the lines of the house and the eyes are drawn to the house as a whole. Soft coverings such as drapes and sheers result in creating a contrast to the structure of the house. This will draw the eye directly to the windows and not to the entire house. Examples of structured window coverings are blinds, shutters and shades. If a softer look is desired inside the home, try framing the window with drapes on each side.
For a softer feel inside the home, frame your blinds with drapes

Consider Presentation

The last of the three tips on increasing curb appeal is when opening and closing shades and blinds (on the street side of the house), make sure they are all opened at the same level. Having shades or blinds open at various levels results in a rather chaotic look from the street. Even out your window coverings to avoid attention being drawn, once again, to the windows and not your entire home and landscape. Uniformity really shows off the house's structure and makes your landscape pop!
