A real statement
The dark pleats give the window rhythm and character.

Black pleated blinds without drilling
Black pleated blinds make the window a distinct part of the interior. Sleek, calm and striking — especially with black window frames, dark kitchens and industrial materials.

Palette for this look
Black works best when it is not the only dark element. Repeat the colour in lighting, handles, furniture or art.
Why it works
A colour that helps both the window and the room
Black works most powerfully when it is a deliberate part of the lines in the interior, not a separate dark surface.
Calm in a graphic interior
With black window frames, fabric, profile and window merge into one surface.
Beautiful contrast with light
Against white walls or a light floor, black looks crisp and well-groomed.
Don't just look at the fabric, but at the whole picture around the window.
Colour recipe
How to build a calm combination
Repeat black in window frames, lamps, furniture legs or steelwork and keep the other materials calmer. That gives the pleated blind a clear but controlled place.
01
60% light space
White, lime, light grey or a light floor.
02
30% black frame
Window frames, pleated blind and a few pieces of furniture or lamps.
03
10% warmth
Oak, leather, brass or a warm colour prevents coldness.

Five profile colours
Black on black or deliberate contrast
RAL 9005 lets a black window frame and the Stick & Fit system form a single whole. On white window frames, a white adhesive profile can be more subtle, with only a black operating rail to go with the fabric.

RAL 9005
1
RAL 9005

Choose the adhesive profile and operating rail separately
RAL 9005 is the logical choice with black window frames; RAL 7016 gives a slightly softer dark contrast. The operating rail can follow the same dark line or match the fabric instead.
Extra mood images
Black pleated blinds make the boldest statement
Black provides maximum contrast and a very clear interplay of lines. These examples show how powerful that can be.
Four directions
How the same colour can feel completely different
Use the colour as a calm base, a warm connecting element or as a bright accent.
Industrial
Black with steel, brick, concrete and weathered wood.
Minimalist
Few materials, sharp lines and lots of empty space.
Hotel chic
Black with rich fabric, warm lighting and brass.
Modern country
A black accent against lime white, oak and natural textures.
Choosing practically
Beautiful on screen, and certain at your window
A black sample often looks lighter in bright daylight than in the evening. So compare it at the actual window and next to the surrounding materials.
Leave part of the window open to keep light and the view.
Choose Duo Tone if you don't want black on the outside.
Some black fabrics are warmer, others cooler or more graphite.
Dust shows more quickly on black, but it is easy to remove with a soft brush.

Place the samples by the window frame and look at them during the day, in the evening and from outside.
Frequently asked questions
About black pleated blinds
Are black pleated blinds blackout?
The colour alone does not determine that. Choose a Black-out fabric for strong darkening.
Does black get very hot in the sun?
A dark outer side absorbs more heat. Duo Tone has a white outer side and is therefore often a comfortable choice.
Which profile colour goes with black?
RAL 9005 for black on black. With white window frames, RAL 9003 can be more subtle.
Does black suit a small room?
Yes, as an accent. Keep the rest light and use top-down/bottom-up to leave enough glass open.
Can black also work in a country-style interior?
Certainly. A few black lines actually give a natural interior more tension.
Can I request a sample first?
Yes. Look at black and anthracite side by side, because the difference is often clearer at home than on a screen.
