Here in the city of Toronto, where our moods and activities are dominated by the fluctuating seasons, nothing screams summer like an interior design makeover to suit the climate! Whether this means painting your kitchen, hunting for vintage antiques and furniture, throwing out a bunch of old junk, or cleaning up your backyard, we salute you! We tend to have a bit more energy when summer hits, why not direct some of that extra energy towards perfecting your space. At the end of a long workday, or when you’re entertaining guests, you’ll feel proud and relaxed in your chilled out home! Affordable Blinds can definitely help you out if you’re looking for fresh window treatments to revitalize your space and integrate with your new summer vibe!
Because our design experts visit you in your home, they can see exactly what you’re up to and present several solutions that could work for you on a logistical and aesthetic level. This will save you a trip to the shop, and you may find that our clever experts can offer design solutions beyond treatments for your windows. If you’re going for a classic rustic cottage kind of a look, you may want to consider California shutters; if on the other hand, you want more modernist shades, peruse our huge selection of Hunter Douglas shades and see what tickles your fancy!
Since we understand that design is a holistic art-form that incorporates many distinct considerations, we thought we’d offer up some general design tips for you to perfect your space and nail down the perfect style to express your personality and taste.
White & Bright
Painting your space white and kicking old furniture (especially if it’s large, dark and clunky) to the curb is a fantastic way to open up your space. A fresh coat of white paint, in addition to extra mirrors and lamps, will create a sense of space and help you feel fresh and energetic every morning. Check out our window treatments in lighter colours to complement a light and bright space and help invite sunshine into your living room without overheating the zone!
Playful Concrete Tiles
Patterned concrete tiles are a simple and funky flooring solution that will look amazing in your bathroom or kitchen. The patterns can be over the top, or simple and work well with either modernist or traditional aesthetics.
Bold Pops of Colour
A bold pop of colour is a great way to add a fun accent to your neutral or white colour scheme. This can be accomplished on a modest scale by painting a chair bright pink or hanging a teal or aquamarine painting on your wall. Typically, these colour pops are accomplished by strategically placing small art objects or furniture pieces around your living room or bedroom. Since these objects can easily be removed, the stakes are pretty low!
We hope some of these tips will be helpful to you in your quest to freshen up and revitalize your home. Once you begin your journey, make an appointment with our design specialists, they can help you pick your ultimate window treatments and might just have some tricks up their sleeves for all your related design issues!
