Pairing them together in the same space can also be a unique way to decorate your space. Combining blinds and curtains allows you even more flexibility for styling, light control and privacy. Plus, don't feel like you have to match your curtains to your blinds!

We often get asked the question 'do curtains and blinds work together? ' The answer is, for the most part, 'yes' – when paired, the two can bring out a flexible décor and ensure adequate blocking of light and privacy control.

Consider the size of the room. Large living and dining rooms and bedrooms can often look better with full length curtains, either lined or sheer. Smaller rooms are often better suited to blinds.

If you have windows with blinds, that could be an excellent place to start. Hanging curtains over blinds adds extra depth and elegance to your windows, as blinds alone can look cold or unfinished. Sometimes hanging curtains on their own is sufficient, but occasionally you need to add extra privacy or light control.
