Blinds users 'should consider accent colours in kitchens'People who are improving their kitchens could benefit from using bold coloured roller blinds as part of their new designs, it has been suggested.

According to Dallas News, the classic white kitchen remains a popular touchstone of inspiration for many people, but a number are choosing to bring out the best in the room with some bold accent colours.

Talking to the website, Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of Decordemon.com, said that accessories can help to ensure certain colour schemes can be changed over time.

“Fire-engine red in accents such as a pendant light over an island, a steel console table and vinyl stool cushions,” he outlined to the website.

“The small doses packed a ton of colour into the space.”

In a recent posting on DecoratingDiction.com, it was suggested that roller blinds are a “fantastic way” for windows in any room to be improved.

Home improvements with blinds ‘more important than holidays’

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Home improvements with blinds 'more important than holidays'Property owners should always regard home improvements as more important than taking holidays, according to an expert.

Andrew Leech, director at the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC), said people should always consider putting DIY tasks, which may include the installation of roller blinds and patio awnings, ahead of indulging in a break abroad.

However, he explained that this often is not the case at this time of year.

Discussing home improvements, he added: “You could say they are more essential than going away for a holiday in this day and age.”

Mr Leech added that improvements which are popular at present include work on gardens and patios, which may include the installation of awnings or canopies.

Recent research published by Santander Mortgages found that first-time buyers spend an average of £3,782 on kitting out their new homes.

Nearly 60 per cent of respondents admitted to getting their properties fully furnished within 12 months.ADNFCR-3100-ID-19906965-ADNFCR
