The way we live our interiors in spring and summer is totally different from the way we experience them during the dark, cold autumn and winter months. With an increase in light hours, the inclination is to try and welcome the sunshiny time and open up to the great outdoors. The feel is more playful, happy and all-round exhilarating.

The fleecy throws, the warming blankets and the thick carpets go into storage. And so, it is time to revert to lightweight curtains, choosing soft textiles, sheers and fabrics that effectively allow daylight to stream in undisturbed. Using them in layers will help let natural illumination in at specific times of day or filter it gently during peak hours of stronger sunlight.



The layering effect can be complemented creatively with the installation of shades or blinds that come in diverse styles and modes of fitting. Bespoke shades and blinds can be made to measure specifically to blend in with the style of your room and will further embellish its general feel especially when combined with furnishing designs or patterns already in place. Lots of inspiration can be had from high quality fabric firms such as one of our favourite British brands ‘Style Library. This company offers such a vast range of curtain or blinds fabrics, one is literally spoilt for choice. Click here to know more. 

Colours are also important to consider, so that the lighter hues from the spectrum are generally selected at this time of year. Going bright is an option and what better time than summer to experiment in this way? Bold, striking and strong colours can recreate your rooms in more ways than one, especially when mingled with creatively beautiful complementary patterns. Click here to know more.



Fabric designers think out their collections so that colour combinations are not the only options available. Consider the textile variations, the weave, the geometry, symmetry and artistic touches – all aim to create something unique. Indeed, brand collections offer every possible variation on a theme in order to provide the possibility of a suave assemblage that really does make significant difference to interior spaces. However, it is certainly not easy to pick and mix strategically and stylishly. The seasonal range of curtain fabrics and blinds is short of staggering, but expert advice will certainly help secure the best decision. An interesting combination of window dressing options will most definitely enhance your apertures considerably and can be elegantly styled by an experienced designer. Click here to know more.
