Light grey pleated blinds without drilling
Light grey is as bright as white, but frames the window slightly better. It gives a fresh, modern base and combines easily with colour, wood and metal.

Palette for this look
With light grey, pay particular attention to the undertone. Blue-grey feels cool and crisp; greige is softer and warmer.
Why it works
A colour that helps both the window and the room
Light grey is calm and versatile, but depending on the daylight it can look more blue, beige or neutral.
Strong with cool materials
Light grey naturally suits aluminium, concrete, natural stone and stainless steel.
A good backdrop for colour
Green, blue, ochre and wood stand out nicely against a grey base.
Don't just look at the fabric, but at the whole picture around the window.

Nice on screen, certain at your window
Look at light grey samples against the glass and against the wall. Reflections of the sky and garden can make the colour look different on the window than on the table.
Light grey can look cool on a cream window frame.
North light makes the fabric look bluer; sunlight makes it warmer.
Compare light grey, greige and taupe before you choose.
No loose-hanging cords or chains.
