Pairing blinds and curtains is an elegant look that is easy to emulate in your home with little effort. In fact, this technique is a favorite of interior designer Tam Taggart, who shares her wisdom with our readers: “Pairing blinds and curtains adds depth and versatility to window treatments, ideal for a layered, refined look. Typically, they have been used in this combo in formal or spacious areas, and for simplicity, opt for blinds in smaller spaces or contemporary settings. It caters to both style and practicality, enhancing the overall ambiance while ensuring optimal light control and privacy.” Dining rooms and formal living rooms, in particular, would look stunning with layered window treatments.
