However, if you think about it, opting for light color blinds in a room with mainly white furniture could be a good choice if you are trying to achieve a “less is more” kind of style.
The winning choice, in this case, is going for light weave type of fabrics like the ones used in roll-ups which will enable you to filter the light and furnish with elegance even modern spaces.
Another alternative is to choose Venetian blinds for inside the double glazing that will guarantee you privacy and great freedom when regulating the light.

Consider all the various shades of white and choose a window treatment with that color. White comes in many different tonalities:
- Ivory white;
