Whether you’re remote working, building a home business, or just want a dedicated workspace in the house to call your own, creating a stylish home office can boost your productivity. 

When it’s all about improving your focus, choosing the right window treatments for your home office is essential.

Blinds Or Curtains: Which Should You Pick?

There’s no right or wrong answer here, as every window treatment can look stunning in the right setting. You could go for:

• Roller Blinds: with a sleek profile that allows for maximum light exposure when needed, roller blinds fit neatly into small window recesses without the bulkiness of Roman blinds.
• Wooden Venetian Blinds: If privacy without sacrificing natural light is your goal, opt for a sleek wooden Venetian blind. They add an element of interest and sophistication to your workspace while maintaining a calm and inviting atmosphere.
• Roman Blinds: If you want to use your window dressing to add an extra texture or pattern to your space, Roman blinds are a fantastic addition to your home office.
• Curtains: Curtains still have a place in the home office too! You can create a cosy little nook to tick off those to-dos when you dress your office windows with a light, airy linen curtain.

Styling Your Home Office Blinds And Curtains

Once you’ve decided which window treatment you want to go for in your home office, now comes the fun part. 

Choosing A Colour Palette

Usually, the main aim of the home office is to create a space for maximum focus and concentration — which is usually suited to more minimalist aesthetics. If this sounds like you, opt for a curtain or blind in white or light grey.

If colour is more your thing, don’t be afraid of adding it to your workspace! Using curtains or blinds that have a touch of colour can enhance your home office’s overall feel, without overpowering the room.

Pattern Or Plain?

If you’re drawn to patterns but crave a distraction-free workspace, incorporating a subtle pattern into your blinds or curtains offers the best of both worlds. 

By day, your workspace remains clear and focused with the blinds drawn back, letting in an abundance of natural light. Then, as the evening rolls around and you clock off for the evening, drawing the curtains or closing the blinds unveils the pattern that ties your entire room together. 

It’s a simple yet transformative way to switch from work mode to relaxation, all while keeping your space stylish and cohesive!
