Summer feels like a new beginning. It is the perfect time to refresh the look of your living room with a fresh coat of paint, new window blinds, or elegant drapes. At Red Star Paint & Decorating Center, we take pride in being Montclair's premier Benjamin Moore paint supplier and Hunter Douglas window treatments provider. Let's explore some exciting ways to brighten up your living space.
Refreshing Your Living Room with Benjamin Moore Paints
The personality of your home can be significantly transformed by choosing the right color palette. While selecting the right Benjamin Moore paint, consider the following ideas:
- Cool and Soothing Colors: Cool hues signal a reprieve from the bustling world outside. The Benjamin Moore color series offers excellent muted cool blues and greens with options like Palladian Blue HC-144 or Beach Glass 1564, which bring in a refreshing feel to your living room.
- Bright and Bold Colors: If you're not afraid to experiment with bold colors, a paint like Caliente Red AF-290 or Autumn Cover 2170-30 offers a vibrant atmosphere with warm oranges and reds.
- Nature-Inspired Neutrals: Subtle, nature-inspired neutral colors like Edgecomb Gray HC-173 or Revere Pewter HC-172 create a soft, relaxing background—perfect for a laid-back evening at home.
Layering Hunter Douglas Blinds
Once you've selected your paint option, it's time to layer your windows with Hunter Douglas blinds and shades. Integrating your window treatments into your interior design enhances your living room's aesthetics while allowing control of natural light entering the room.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds: Crafted from high-quality domestic hardwood, they offer a warm, earthy vibe to your living room.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades: If you prefer a diffused lighting solution with great view-through, these sheer window shadings with adjustable opaque vanes put you in control.
- Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades: These multi-layered energy-efficient shades are perfect for maintaining a comfortable indoors all year round. Their special honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design offers added insulation when compared to their sister product, Duette® Cellular Shades.
Finishing with Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes
Curtains and drapes are the flourishes that round up the décor of your living room. When paired with blinds and shades, these window coverings add a layer of added color, texture, and light control to your interior design.
When choosing Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes, we have over 4000 different fabric choices to truly bring together your living room décor. Some of our advice for choosing a drape style that speaks to you include:
- Experimenting with Patterns & Prints: If your paint and blinds are on the neutral side, liven things up with patterned drapes. Choose an accent color to pop against your neutral tones and carry this through your drapes and accessories for a high-end and modern touch.
- Add Shades on Sheers for A Layered Look: Double up the drapes in different opacities to create complementary shades for a visually striking look. Plus, you can enjoy light diffusion or privacy when you need it with different opacities at your window.
- For Seasonal Expression, Choose Light & Breezy Fabrics: For a laid-back summer feel, opt for breezier, lighter fabric drapes in the warmer months and heavier fabric in the cooler months. Not only will this help with energy efficiency, but you will also reinvigorate your look each season when you switch your drapes in the fall and spring.
