Evening all

I'm looking at getting some wooden blinds for my home but I'm not sure which colour to get as I want them to go with the brown upvc colour of the window's.
The windows are quite large and the windows are plain glass no lead or colour in them.
I can't afford the white shutters so the wooden ones are the next best thing.
The houses around where I live all have normal vertical blinds so I haven't got anywhere to have a look at.
I've tryed to Google images but there's not much coming up.
I like the white ones but worry about them maybe casing with the colour of my windows I'm not very good at colour matching and internal decor
I'm always found in show houses and in next for ideas

Many thanks

    White doesn't clash with anything!

    I'd choose white as it always goes with everything.

    It's not usual in interior design terms to match blinds to window frames as a first priority.

    We recently used directblinds and blinds2go and before we ordered we requested some samples, which arrived very quickly.

    We've just had blinds installed, we opted for the wooden Venetian type in a cream colour. We've found that the blinds if slanted out darkened the room, but slant them in and they reflect the light into the room.
    I would imagine if we had the wood colour slats, the room would have remained darker. So we're very pleased with the lighter ones.
