What should Roman blinds match with?
There are virtually no hard and fast rules when it comes to matching your furnishings. Always go with your personal taste, but we can offer you our professional opinions as a guideline. Matching Roman blinds to floors, soft furnishings, or walls - especially with neutrals - is the usual design approach.
For a neutral theme
Either pair blinds with the room’s colour or use them to add contrast/colour.
For a cohesive one or two-colour theme
Matching blinds to the main or accent colour of a room can create and improve a desired colour balance. If using two main shades, aim for each to cover 50% of the space. Alternatively, pair a main colour with a secondary or accent one.
Making a feature of the blinds themselves
It’s more about how your blinds should complement your surroundings than the other way around. Start with choosing a blind based on colour or design, then coordinate soft furnishings like cushions or bed dressings to match. Alternatively, pick an accent colour that complements the blind avoiding prominent prints that may clash or distract from it.
With a patterned carpet or “statement” flooring
If you have a bold carpet or rug, opt for neutral blinds or ones that complement the floor's shade or theme without overpowering it.
What should blinds always match with?
Considering the tone of the room and its furnishings is really important. A warm-toned room paired with cool-toned blinds (or the other way around) can create a disjointed and unbalanced appearance.
So aim to align the colour tone of the room with your blinds, as this takes precedence over matching specific materials or colours.

What look is the Boeboes team going for this Autumn season?
“With a wide range of colours, patterns and textures across our soft furnishings in the home interiors shop, we are currently favouring the deeper tones as the weather starts to cool down and the leaves are turning. It’s time for us to snuggle up with an elegant Velvet Blue cushion which is a perfect match to our Herringbone Blue and Wool Blue cushion fabrics too.
This look will be completed by a Boeboes Roman blind in Wool Blue and a Velvet Midnight pillow bolster. Visit our website to create your personal autumnal look for your home.”
It’s time for the Great British Beach Clean – 20-29 Sept 2024
As the Boeboes workroom (where all our lovely soft furnishings are dreamt up and created) is right on the Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, this is an annual event close to our hearts.
The Great British Beach Clean, organised by the Marine Conservation Society, engages volunteers to clean UK beaches, remove litter, and protect marine life. Originating in 1994, the event has grown, involving thousands of volunteers who not only clean beaches but also collect data on litter to understand pollution sources and advocate for better environmental policies. Participants can join or organise local clean-up events to reduce beach litter, protect marine ecosystems, and raise awareness about environmental conservation. Visit the website for more information. #GreatBritishBeachClean
