How to choose fabrics and colour for your blinds and curtains

We’ve layered for functionality.
We’ve transformed the hardest-working rooms.

Now it’s time for part 3 — the final chapter of Home Love. And it’s all about the detail that quietly makes the whole room sing: choosing the right fabrics and colours for your window dressings.

In this final episode, interior designer Wendy Moore shares her go-to design tip for selecting blinds and curtains that don’t just “go with” your space… but elevate it.

So how do you make sure your Venetas feel intentional and part of the plan — not just a last-minute realisation moment that the windows are naked?

How to choose fabrics that soften (and strengthen) a space

Curtains aren’t just about privacy. They’re about balance.

Wendy walks through how to select fabrics that soften hard finishes like stone, cabinetry and timber — especially in kitchens, living areas and open-plan spaces.

Texture plays a huge role here. A sheer linen brings movement. Warmth. A relaxed, coastal ease. It diffuses light gently, taking a bright room from harsh to harmonious in seconds.

Seen in this episode:

Veneta’s signature Honeycomb blinds – Bottom Up, Day Night
- Day sheer colour: Seapearl
- Night blockout colour: Whisper White

It’s practical underneath. Soft and flowing on top. They work as a team.

Choosing colours that complement, not compete

When selecting window furnishings, it’s tempting to match everything perfectly. But Wendy shares a smarter approach: think cohesion, not copy-paste.

Tonal styling creates calm. It’s seamless. Easy to live with.
Contrast, on the other hand, can highlight architectural features or add quiet drama.

The key is intention.

Ask:

Is your palette warm or cool?
Are you leaning tonal and calm?
Or does the room need subtle contrast to add depth?

A Whisper White blockout keeps things clean and crisp.
A Cream linen sheer introduces warmth without overpowering.
Seapearl in the Day sheer softly filters natural light while maintaining that coastal fresh vibe.

The result? A layered look that feels considered — not busy. Just perfect.

Window dressings are one of the largest visual elements in a room. Choosing the right tone can either anchor the space… or allow it to breathe.

Why layering changes everything

Layering blinds and curtains isn’t just about style. It’s about flexibility and functionality. Practicality.

Light control during the day
Privacy at night (or daytime too)
Insulation year-round
Softness and movement always

And because every Veneta is custom-made, they don’t just sit in the room — they’re tailored precisely to your windows. The fit is seamless. The finish is refined.
