High-End Home Tips from Our Design Experts

July 26, 2023

Your home is an oasis, a reflection of you, and a peaceful place to return to at the end of a long day. You deserve to create a high-end living experience for yourself—with window coverings from Alta to top off your design.

At Blinds Plus Designs, we have over 20 years of experience in providing custom window coverings and design solutions to homes near Huntington Beach, California. Here are some of our favorite ways to create a space that even an interior designer would envy.

Intentionality

Intentional design is one of the key factors that elevate a design plan. So many small details make up a home, from the style of your baseboards to the grout in between your tiles to the color of your ceiling. The most well-respected interior designers have mastered the art of perfecting these little design choices without drawing attention away from your home’s focal points.

This level of attention to detail requires intentionality that interior designers work for years to perfect. A talented designer can see the whole picture, including the most minor details, before they even begin the design. When you redecorate your space, be sure to include the small items and the big-ticket furnishings to give your space a luxurious custom feel. Using coordinating hardware throughout and using the same window coverings through each room in the house are two easy ways to elevate your space in minutes, without relying on the help of a designer.

Smart Home Automation

Nothing feels more luxe than a fully automated home. No one enjoys the trivial tasks in life, like reaching to adjust your blinds throughout the day. Window treatment automation like Bliss™ Automation by Alta can take care of that for you! Program your motorized blinds to open as the sun rises and watch your home fill with morning light.

Make your home do the work for you by integrating several smart home technologies. From virtual assistants to smart doorbells to automated shades, you can have everything in your space exactly how you like it…without lifting a finger.

Mix Textures

Allow your home decor to exude quiet confidence by mixing different textures throughout your space. Texture adds dimension and visual interest to a design, making the entire room feel intentional and high-end. 

When you mix fabrics and textures, follow these guidelines:

• Choose cohesive colors: Select colors with similar undertones to create a coherent look. Whether you choose complementary or contracting colors to coordinate your space, choosing tones in a similar family help unify a design.
• Pair light and heavy textures for a balanced feel: Texture is a beautiful way to help a room feel lighter or more grounded. Mix and match wood and fabric materials for a luxe layered look.
• Stick to a few: Too many different colors and textures can feel overwhelming and look unplanned. Choose a few of your favorites and stick to those themes for a designer appeal.
• Be careful with prints: If you’re pairing two widely contrasting textures, go for simple patterns that won’t overwhelm the eye.

Pair plantation shutters with curtains, choose a soft pillow that accents a woven rug, or make a room full of heavy furniture feel brighter when you mix textures for your interior design.
