Bamboo Blinds

Sullen Gregory Design
Our trip to the Beaufort house this weekend has us thinking about windows... 
Phoebe Howard Design
Mostly because the majority of the progress this time was new windows, new windows, new windows. (And the new casings, exterior wood siding, etc. that goes along with them!)
Phoebe Howard Design
All this talk about windows has us thinking about what's going to go around those windows inside.
House Beautiuful
We can't think of anything better to frame coastal views with than bamboo blinds! And if we were ever fortunate enough to have a Conservatory Royston we can't think of anything chicer to block a little sunlight.
Mancini Design
Against a white or light colored wall or window, we love the dark, deep pop of the perfect shade of bamboo blind.
Decorpad
We adore bamboo blinds alone on a window where curtains won't do. We're partial to the ones available at Direct Blinds.

Bella Mancini Design
Bamboo blinds are fabulous in a child's room -- especially when that child is small enough to want to pull up on curtains that reach the floor!
Nate Berkus
Our favorite use of bamboo blinds is in combination with white drapes -- which is precisely what we think we are going to use in Beaufort. We love the idea of that kind of uniformity from room to room.
Brabourne Farm
Blinds are great for adding a sense of height and space to a room -- especially when you hang them as high as possible!
The Decorologist
They may be great for creating privacy and shade, but we prefer our bamboo blinds pulled way up to the top of the window to let in the light!
We hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Looks great, The idea of bamboo blinds together with white drapes give your window looks sophisticated for me.. I really love the way you did in your window, I think i can use it together with my made to measure curtains to my house.

christy said...

I had them in my old house and they were so easy.I like them best with some drapes to make them appear a little softer and warmer.

Nancy said...

I love these blinds. Wonder if in 10-15 years we are going to say, that was so 2010-12! but I love them to the ceiling with drapes, for just about any application.
Love your images, pinned many of them!

I adore them too, and have them in several rooms. It's so easy to either dress them up or dress them down. And I love the touch of rustic along with pretty drapes.

Patty Day @Pattys Epiphanies said...

I agree with the blinds with the white panels. I think they will look perfect!

Taylor Greenwalt said...

I have wooden blinds in my family room and wish I would of put bamboo blinds. If the hubby would let me I would. Love the chairs in that 2 image.

Dawna said...

Vel Criste said...

Amen! I would definitely add them to my much needed dining room windows, just haven't gotten to that yet. I would put velvet drapes with them though with a strong punch of color since my dining room is way too neutral already. :-)

Teresa at Splendid Sass said...

I just dont think you can go wrong with bamboo! You have found some gorgeous images, pin worthy I might add. I think I will go pick up a few.
Happy Tuesday.
