What blind?

This is our lovely kitchen after our garage conversion. Walls painted in farrow and ball cooking Apple green and cream cupboards.
My new struggle is what blind to get. My husband says we can't have a wooden blind as it'll be too heavy for the new lintel. Do I go plain fabric or patterned? I did find a lovely geometric print but it was too yellow for the green.

Your new kitchen looks fab, I bet you're so pleased! Both plain and patterned fabrics would look stunning in the new setting, but why not go for a pretty pattern if it's something you're considering? Geometrics are very on-trend right now, whereas a floral or botanical print will offer a timeless look. A stripe might be a nice choice alternatively.
As for blind types, Roller blinds are a perfectly practical choice for a kitchen, particularly when the window is behind a sink like yours. You might like to consider a PVC Roller blind to stop any little splashes from becoming a problem!
I've attached an image of a kitchen in a similar style to yours which looks stunning with a striking print. Of course, the colours are slightly different, but hopefully it will give you an idea of how a pattern might work.
Kind regards,
Zoe

Comments (14)Hi there, What a striking room! It is really beautiful. I would suggest simple roller blinds so that they compliment as opposed to overpower the windows. In my opinion cream blinds would look best and balance the colour of the room, I have included a few swatches below Wide striped cream, Spring twig natural and Light seagrass. I would recommend ordering a few free samples as it really helps to see them in person to get a better idea of the colour match. What makes our blinds unique is that you can swap the fabrics of your blinds by hooking off one fabric and hooking on another without removing the system from the window.

Comments (7)I assume you’re looking for a roller blind or roman blind? I think picking colours from the other end and incorporating them into a patterned blind would help it gel as Carolina suggests. I’ve got rather jazzy blind in my kitchen as everything else is quite plain 😊...See More

9 years agoI would suggest a laminated roller blind in a stripe incorporating green, taupe and perhaps raspberry.
Romo (fabric company) have lots of lovely stripes which are suitable for blinds. For a one stop shop The Stripes Company have a good range of stripes which can be made by them into laminated blinds. I thought this ticking called Beige and Green looked nice but there were other options - I like Cricket which has some brighter colours in it. You can order fabric samples and see what works best with the light.

9 years agoYou could go for a leather blind (pic 1) or something more geometric like the fabric on pic 2. Always prefer stripy fabrics to go vertically than horizontally. See idea from Casadeco. Also let me know if you want a natural look or more luxurious/glossy? www.casadeco.fr/en/collections/detail/135/TANGO
