The case of a house interior without window covers is rare,
however. And this is because window covers’ premier function to shield us from
sun rays and public intrusion from outside and at the same time respecting an
opening to permit natural air ventilation still cannot be ignored. Window
covers are not simply linen that you want to hang in your window. It is also
like choosing your wall paintings which you need to consider the overall theme
of the house. If most of the ornaments are Asian arts, then go for covers that
will perfectly blend with them. Wall
covers which is evident in most of the houses we visit in our lifetime makes or
breaks the home design. This could
probably be attributed to its large size to consume most parts of our home
wall.
Imagine a mural at home. This is no different to window
covers that are sometimes printed or just plain in color. It is impossible to
ignore a mural in our home wall because of the space it occupies. This goes the
same for window covers which are not just dominant in one area of the house but
are prominently present in every room. It would be awkward to see grandiose
Victorian style furniture jam packed in one room when all of a sudden you have
vertical mini blinds that are commonly used in office spaces. And we know
perfectly that rich drapes hanging from ceiling to floor is perfect for such
style. Add trimming like tassel and use an intricately designed bronze or gold
iron rod and you have just created a perfect set of Victorian drapes.
And as to Asian art, we can use of mini venetian blinds made
of canvas or any suitable fabric. This can be rolled up and down and could be
of prints and colors. For Zen type, plain white or cream canvass rolled in a
wooden rod or mini blinds that are made of bamboo can suit the style. As we
see, we carefully pick our window covers in fact more than choosing our wall
paintings at home. As for wall painting, we can pick the one that best blends
with the surrounding or the one that is a perfect contrast to the main theme.
This home designing technique, however, does not apply to window covers at all
which need to consider the furniture, the home wall, and some other more.
