Cream Blinds

If you’re looking for the perfect neutral, with a dash of contemporary style, there are few finer choices than cream blinds. Exuding warmth and an inviting ambiance, these timeless window dressings effortlessly co-ordinate with any room in your home. 

In psychology, the colour cream works to dull the brightness of yellow (known as the happy colour), creating a soothing aura that brings a sense of calm. It is also strongly linked to sophistication and elegance - the perfect way to create a modern, adult home that also appeals to the younger members of your family too. And it doesn’t matter what style you go for. Cream roller blinds, cream vertical blinds, cream wooden blinds etc. All of the options available on our website bring the same visual comfort and flexibility that suits every space.

Cream blinds are wonderfully versatile to suit your decor style. Are you a minimalist? Perhaps you’re drawn to the homely allure of rustic style? Or maybe it’s the sharp lines, strong contrasts and stripped-back charm of industrial decor that draws you in the strongest. One of the biggest charms of cream is that it has the flexibility to fit in with any interior design trend on the market. And, when you choose cream blinds, you give yourself the freedom to play with different elements of home design, bringing in snippets from each trend and creating your own space. Country-chic living rooms come to life with rich wood-grain furniture, fluffy rugs and a made-to-measure white wooden blind. Minimalist bedrooms offer the perfect space for motorised roller blinds which, when linked to your smart home hub, can be scheduled to adjust at certain times or in line with the available sunlight (all without bulky cords too!). And, contemporary kitchens showcase polished surfaces and angular lines to perfection - especially when paired with a cream Venetian blind in durable aluminium too. The options are truly endless and the right cream blind will become the finishing touch that your home needs today.

The perfect colour partner for so many other tones. As one of the most timeless neutrals, there are very few colours out there that don’t go well with cream. One of our favourite things about cream blinds is that they offer a cost-effective way to play with different colours and styles - all without breaking the bank. This warm neutral is an ideal backdrop to hues such as cornflower blue, sapphire and sage. If you’re seeking the ultimate neutral haven, you can introduce snippets of grey alongside cream. And for something bold and statement, consider black - there truly is something beautiful about bringing together warmer tones and stark colours in a seamless blend.

How do you clean cream blinds?

There’s little hiding dust, dirt or unsightly marks on cream blinds and the best way to prevent long-term damage is to have a regular cleaning regime that suits your type of window blind perfectly.

Cream roller blinds have the biggest potential to showcase dirt and grime. Thankfully, they are also one of the easiest window blinds to clean - especially if you do so regularly. We recommend dusting the surface of your roller blind on a weekly basis. You can do this using a microfibre cloth or dusting brush. Either way, pass the dusting tool over the surface of the blind, making sure to work into any small gaps where dust can accumulate. If you’re looking to save time, use the soft upholstery brush on your vacuum cleaner and the lowest suction setting for quick, effective dust removal. If you notice stubborn marks or need to spot clean, only use chemicals approved for your fabric type.

Test these on an inconspicuous area first and wait to check for changes in colour or damage to the fibres. Avoid applying too much pressure to the fabric or rubbing harshly as this can cause irreversible damage too.

Cream vertical blinds are just as easy to clean as cream roller blinds. The long vertical blind slats are difficult for dust to settle on so they are great if you hate dust. When you do need to clean them all it takes is a quick pass with a duster to get them looking their best. You can spot clean in the same way as roller blinds and use the upholster brush too. One of the great things about vertical blinds is that when one of the louvres becomes damaged beyond repair (either due to staining or breakages) you can simply replace the vertical blind slats.

Venetian blinds are the biggest dust culprit out there when it comes to window blinds. This is because they have multiple horizontal slats for dust to settle on. Therefore regular cleaning of cream wooden blinds is a must. If you are looking for a blind for your kitchen or bathroom, you’ll want a faux wood option that has been made from PVC and has a wipe-clean and 100% waterproof surface. They need to be dusted just as regularly - you just need to make sure you get into all of the little gaps and spaces. Close your blind fully in one direction and dust over the surface, using a microfibre cloth or duster. Twist the slats, close them in the other direction and repeat this step. Now open your blinds up fully. Dust and/or wipe in between all of the slats, focusing on the knotted frame sections where dust can settle. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and rub gently on the offending area. We always recommend avoiding chemicals where you can as these can damage any protective layers or varnishes. However, if you do need an extra boost during your deep cleaning, only use chemicals designed for your type of wooden blind.

Aluminium Venetian blinds have a tonne of benefits, including their ability to withstand high temperatures and moisture-rich environments. They are 100% waterproof which means you have a wipe-clean surface that isn’t porous and is effortlessly easy to manage. Follow the same instructions as wooden blinds. However, remember that aluminium is a much softer and more flexible material than real wood or rigid PVC. The horizontal slats in Venetian blinds can bend very easily so, while you’re wiping down each one, make sure to provide support underneath with your hand. It really is very easy to keep cream blinds looking their best. So you and your family can appreciate the exceptional style in your home for many more years to come.
