For many of us, choosing the perfect coloured blinds or patterned blinds can be a tricky task. Which colour to choose? Will they stay on trend? How will you style them? Your blinds are a focal point, so it’s important to get them right!

We find that if you follow Pantone’s Colours of the Year, you can’t go wrong! Year after year we see Pantone’s Colours of the year shaping our interior design choices and trends. It’s a key tool used by designers when selecting their pallets for the coming year. Therefore, it’s a colour you’ll see a lot of in the magazines, Instagram inspiration pages, and in the shops!

So, what is Pantone’s Colour of the Year you ask?

Introducing Pantone Colour of The Year 2022… Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri

Very Peri is a brand-new Pantone Colour – Newly created specifically to reflect the global innovation and transformation taking place in the world right now as we continue to adapt to the new normal.

2022’s Pantone Colour is all about rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents, complemented by a new perspective that resonates today. Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute explains: “Very Peri brings a novel perspective and vision of the trusted and beloved blue colour family. Encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time with its violet-red undertone, displaying a spritely, joyous and dynamic presence. All of which encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expressions.”

A vibrant shade of blue with a beautiful violet-red undertone… We can certainly see Very Peri becoming a hit in the interior realm very soon.

At A1 Blinds we have a style and design to suit everyone. From patterned blinds to coloured blinds, bold or plain, we’re sure you’ll find a look you love in our range. So, if you’re here to get ahead of the trend and get ‘Very Peri’ coloured blinds, we can certainly help you with that!

Introducing Very Peri to your Home with Blinds

A vibrant yet versatile shade, we believe Very Peri would make a beautiful coloured blind that will complement many interiors!

Very Peri Coloured Blinds

At A1 Blinds we have a wide range of styles available in the lovely Very Peri shade. You’ll choose from Romans, rollers, verticals and more, and be able to incorporate the new ‘in’ colour into your home with ease!

When it comes to styling any colourful blinds, using matching or contrasting accessories works brilliantly! Take a look at some of our coloured blinds for inspiration…

Very Peri Patterned Blinds

Very Peri is the perfect colour to be incorporated into a patterned blind. It lends itself beautifully to soft pastel colours from greens and blues to pinks and neutrals. So, therefore, can be worked into the most simplistic or extravagant patterns you could imagine.

We have lots of patterned blinds that include Very Peri shades. Here’s some inspiration from our range…

Choosing Neutral Coloured Blinds Instead

If you’d rather not commit to a Very Peri window covering, neutrally patterned or coloured blinds are always in style.

Choosing a neutral pallet for your ‘bigger ticket’ interior items (like blinds, sofas, and light-fittings) will help you to stay on trend for longer. You can introduce the ‘in’ colours, such as Very Peri, with smaller accessories like cushions, vases, candles, and rugs. And change them regularly – without breaking the bank!

Your neutral colours range much wider than some may think. Many believe that a neutral colour pallet is limited to white and cream. A neutral colour pallet is much more exciting than that! Examples of neutral colours do of course include your whites and creams. But then add greys, beiges, browns, taupe’s, and even blacks into the mix – and you can still have lots of fun whilst keeping it neutral!

All of these neutrals will make beautiful, patterned and coloured blinds that will be extremely versatile when it comes to styling your home. At A1 we have thousands of neutral coloured and patterned blinds that will suit every home. Choose from roller, Roman, Venetian, vertical and more, in a variety of textures, colours and designs.

Are you ready to get ahead of the trend and introduce Very Peri coloured blinds or patterned blinds to your home? We hope we’ve given you some inspiration for your next set of blinds!

At A1 Blinds we manufacture over ten blind styles right here in our Newcastle factory! Our range includes everything from roller, Roman, vertical, Venetian, Velux and more. All of which, we believe are contenders to be the best blinds for modern homes!

One of our most popular blind styles year-on-year is our roller blinds. As a result of their sleek appearance and simplistic design, roller blinds give off extremely modern vibes and can work well in most interiors.

Coloured Blinds for Modern Homes

Choosing the best-coloured blinds for contemporary homes can be tricky. ‘Modern’ trends change quickly and there’s no way you could change your blinds as fast!

That’s why we’d recommend playing it safe when it comes to colours. Neutral blinds pair easily with a wide range of colours, including fellow neutrals and bolder tones. So, by choosing a neutral colour, you’ll be able to re-style your blinds easily, time and time again. What’s more, neutrals are very on-trend right now as more and more people move to minimal!

On the other hand, though, if going bold is your kind of thing, we still have some ideas for you! Our top tip for choosing a bold blind is to choose one with lots of colour-pairing possibilities. For example, a navy-blue blind could be paired with yellows, pinks, oranges, and neutrals. Therefore, you’d be able to restyle them with the trends.

Each of our styles is available with a wide range of colours for you to choose from, be it pleated or wooden Venetian and everything in between. You’ll be spoilt for choice no matter what your taste is!

Patterned Blinds for Modern Homes

Patterned blinds are ideal for injecting another dimension into a room! This is especially true for one of this year’s biggest pattern trends which follows the rule of ‘more is more!’ We’re seeing many interiors being shaped by this ‘maximalist’ trend which combines abstract patterns with garish colours. This could easily be created in a roller, vertical or Roman blind and is perfect for someone looking to make a modern statement.

Another approach to patterned blinds for modern homes is choosing a subtle print. Subtle patterns such as florals and stripes in muted shades can add character to a space without being overpowering. Sometimes a subtle print is all you need!

Style a patterned blind with plain(ish) accessories and you’ll have blinds for modern homes in no time!

Eco-Friendly Blinds for Modern Homes

Not all modern homes are about the aesthetic, and more and more we’re striving to be greener. In our actions – not colour!

Our collection has over 15 different blinds styles to choose from, however the most popular for children’s bedrooms are roller blinds and Roman blinds. Probably because they’re available in patterned and blackout options!

One of our best-selling styles, roller blinds are a simplistic but effective solution. Perfect for children’s bedroom blinds, the single-piece fabric shows off the design beautifully.

Our Roman blinds are an elegant window dressing option. They offer a soft visual to your windows whilst adding more of your chosen colours or patterns to your room in a folded fabric blind.

For those of you with a Velux window in your children’s bedrooms, we also have several patterned and themed Velux window blinds. This range includes Disney’s Cars, Winnie The Pooh, cloud prints and more.

Blackout children’s bedroom blinds

So we’ve talked about style but now for the important part. Sleep.

Babies, toddlers, and children need up to 12 hours of sleep per night, plus naps during the day. This can certainly be difficult when the sun is beaming through the windows!

Blackout window blinds are ideal for reducing light levels in a bedroom and creating a restful area for your children. Not only that, but they’re also perfect for keeping rooms cool by reducing their sunlight levels.

Blackout fabrics, therefore, produce the perfect children’s bedroom blinds.

Many of our roller blinds, Roman blinds, pleated blinds, vertical blinds, panel blinds, vision blinds, and Velux blinds are available with a blackout fabric.

Also if you like the sound of blackouts for your own bedroom, we have an entire range of blackout window binds to suit your style too.

Child safe blinds

Of course, your children’s bedroom blinds need to look the part, but safety always comes first. And in fact, all blinds within the home, not just in children’s bedrooms, should comply with Child Safety Regulations.

Upon ordering your blinds, you can talk with the team and they will provide you with all the additional child safety options and guidance when it comes to your blinds. Our fitters will also install all of the safety accessories you need on the day of your fitting.

So when you buy from A1 Blinds, not only will you have beautiful blinds, but you can rest assured that all of our products comply with Child Safety Laws. 

Anti-microbial children’s bedroom blinds

Anti-microbial window blinds have been widely requested within commercial and healthcare settings for a long time. However, they do also have a place within the home.

The anti-microbial treatment that is applied to blinds offers proven protection from microbial attack by controlling the growth of unwanted microbes. But not only this, and what makes it perfect for children’s bedroom blinds, is that it prevents stains that are caused by bacteria and fungi.

Therefore, you’ll have blinds that are fresher and cleaner for longer.

You can browse lots of our range of children’s bedroom blinds here on our website, or to see our collection in full, visit our North East showrooms in Forest Hall or Blaydon.
