How to match your blinds with your flooring

StyloHome Blinds, Shades & More

When designing or refreshing a space, many homeowners focus on wall color and furniture—often overlooking two major design anchors: the floors and window treatments. At StyloHome Blinds, Shades & More, we know that coordinating your blinds with your flooring can dramatically improve the flow and aesthetic of your home. Here are a few expert tips to help you pair them perfectly.

Before selecting blinds or shades, make sure your floors are professionally cleaned. Whether you have tile, hardwood, laminate, or carpet, a deep clean can brighten the tones and reveal the true color of your flooring. It’s amazing how different a space can look when grime, dullness, or old polish are removed—especially with natural wood floors. A clean foundation gives you a better sense of how to match your window treatments accurately.

Trying to find blinds that match your flooring color exactly can be a frustrating—and often unnecessary—task. Instead, focus on choosing blinds or shades in the same tone family. For example:

If you have warm-toned hardwood floors (like oak or cherry), consider wood blinds or fabric shades in beige, honey, or terra cotta.

If your floors are cooler (like gray tile or bleached wood), opt for cooler shades like white, charcoal, or soft gray.

This approach creates harmony without looking overly matched or flat.

Matching doesn’t always mean blending in. In some cases, contrast can elevate your space. If you have dark wood or rich-colored floors, lighter blinds—like white or linen shades—can brighten the room and create an eye-catching balance. Conversely, light flooring paired with darker blinds can add drama and sophistication.

The key is to create intentional contrast. Choose shades that complement your floor rather than compete with it.

Matching the texture of your window treatments to your flooring can create a more cohesive feel. If you have rustic wood floors, consider natural woven wood shades or Roman shades in textured fabrics. For smooth tile or polished wood, go for sleeker options like roller shades or vertical fabric blinds that mirror that finish.

While the flooring-blinds relationship is important, keep the rest of your décor in mind. Look at your wall color, furniture, and trim work. Your blinds should tie into the whole picture, not just the floor. Our in-home consultations at StyloHome help ensure your window coverings fit the full aesthetic of your space.
