It’s common to see curtains in a large space, such as a living room or primary suite, while blinds are primarily used in smaller spaces, such as a home office. “However,” writes Interior designer Jennifer Clavano, “there are instances where you can combine them, especially if you use Roman shades or roller shades instead of outdated blinds. Stick to fabric on fabric, not fabric on wood/metal. Avoid patterns because they can clash with existing lines.” I appreciate Jennifer’s wise advice! Trendy colors, patterns, and styles can quickly fall out of fashion and leave your home looking dated. Classic colors and fabrics are much more likely to last for years!
