Choosing the right colors and fabrics for your window coverings can feel overwhelming—but that’s where we buzz in to help. Start by thinking about how the space is used and the feeling you want it to evoke. Bedrooms may benefit from blackout linings or heavier fabrics for coziness and privacy, while kitchens or high-traffic areas do best with durable, easy-to-clean materials like roller shades. For a light, airy feel in living rooms or reading nooks, sheers or linen blends soften the space and filter sunlight without blocking the view.

Color can completely shift the mood. For a seamless, calming look, match your drapes to the wall or trim. Want a little drama? Try a bold contrast or patterned fabric to break up solids and create a focal point. Neutrals are always timeless—but don’t be afraid to add personality with color or texture that reflects you.

Light also plays a big role in how we experience a space. We recommend taping samples to your window and checking them throughout the day. North-facing windows cast cooler light, while west-facing rooms feel warmer and more golden.

Not sure where to start? That’s where we come in. Bumble Bee Blinds offers complimentary design consultations—and we bring the samples to you. No stress, no guesswork—just a friendly, expert helping hand.
