Alternatively, you might have one main colour and a secondary or accent colour, which takes up less space; think say, the amount of space a skirting board takes up as opposed to the wall it runs along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending which way you\u2019re going in this regard then, your blinds can make up the final part of the sum to total your colours; to either bring one colour up to taking up around 50% of the space, or to form the smaller, accent colour, or to tip the balance over from 50-50 to favour one colour\/your main colour more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-blinds-match-with-if-you-want-to-make-a-feature-of-the-blinds-themselves\">What should blinds match with if you want to make a feature of the blinds themselves?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fish-patterned-roller-blinds-in-blue-and-white-striped-bathroom.jpg\" alt=\"Fish patterned roller blinds in a blue and white striped bathroom\" class=\"wp-image-8452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fish-patterned-roller-blinds-in-blue-and-white-striped-bathroom.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fish-patterned-roller-blinds-in-blue-and-white-striped-bathroom-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fish-patterned-roller-blinds-in-blue-and-white-striped-bathroom-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fish-patterned-roller-blinds-in-blue-and-white-striped-bathroom-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this situation, it\u2019s more a case of what should match your blinds than what your blinds should match with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your starting point is the blind or you have your heart set on a certain blind colour or design to the point that you\u2019re willing to plan the whole room around including it, your blind comes first and deciding what should match with it comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\/patterned\/\">blind has a pattern or design<\/a>, you might want to get other soft furnishings like cushion covers or bedding to match it. If this isn\u2019t possible or you don\u2019t want to go that route, I\u2019d ensure you go with picking an accent colour that ties into the blind; and avoiding the use of other, prominent prints or designs in the room that might draw attention away from the blind, or even clash with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-blinds-match-with-if-you-have-a-patterned-carpet-or-statement-flooring\">What should blinds match with if you have a patterned carpet or \u201cstatement\u201d flooring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/walnut-wooden-blinds-in-cream-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"Walnut wooden blinds in cream living room with a statement rug\" class=\"wp-image-8454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/walnut-wooden-blinds-in-cream-living-room.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/walnut-wooden-blinds-in-cream-living-room-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/walnut-wooden-blinds-in-cream-living-room-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/walnut-wooden-blinds-in-cream-living-room-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably not the floor itself!
