Simple way to 'drastically alter' any room in your house with just one item

No matter how much time you spend pinning inspiration to your Pinterest board, whether it’s your living space, bedroom, or home office, getting the look of your home’s interiors right can feel downright impossible, not to mention, expensive!

But what if I told you that there is a simple, effective, and much more cost-efficient way to add some X-factor to any room in your home? And what if I told you that it is used by the best of the best, including Melbourne interior designer, Malin Johansson?

Well, if you’re like me, I suspect you are waiting with bated breath, so let me divulge all I know, or should I say, all that Malin Johansson knows.

Johansson, owner of Malin Johansson Interiors, told Yahoo Lifestyle that when it comes to designing a space, it’s easy to overlook the smaller details - yet elements like blinds can make a surprisingly significant impact on a room’s overall look and feel.

“Far from being just functional, blinds can enhance a room’s aesthetic, add layers of texture, and even serve as a statement piece, all while offering the practical benefits of light control and privacy,” she said.

“Blinds can be more than just window coverings; they’re an opportunity to introduce style, colour, and texture into a room.”

Get 20 per cent off your choice of blinds

And right now, with every shopper’s favourite time of the year, the Black Friday sales, DIYblinds has 20 per cent off designer curtains, blinds, and shutters, making it even cheaper to makeover any space, with a wide range of styles available.

They even have remote-controlled blinds for added convenience, with their Whispertech Motorised Roller Blinds, perfect for summer.

“Whether you opt for sleek, modern roller blinds, elegant Venetian blinds, or soft, airy Roman shades, each style can drastically alter the mood and tone of the space,” Johansson told Yahoo Lifestyle.

“For example, wood blinds add warmth and a natural element to a room, while metallic or matte-finish options might lend a more contemporary, minimalist vibe.”

Like these Plantation Shutters from DIYblinds.

“Plantation shutters add a classic warmth to a room with their timeless design, rich wood or painted finishes, and wide, adjustable louvres that let in soft, filtered light, creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere,” Johansson said.

And it would seem Australian fitness influencer Kayla Intines agrees, installing them in a cosy nook of their master bedroom.

Curtains can add soft textures and colours to your room

If plantation shutters aren’t vibing with your contemporary aesthetic, don’t worry, DIYblinds have your back… or your window, with curtains in a range of colours and styles, including block out.

"Curtains add warmth and personality to a room by introducing soft textures, colours, and patterns that can either create a cosy, intimate vibe or a bright, airy feel, depending on the fabric and style chosen,” Johansson said.

Take a look at how Aussie model, Chantelle Stanton paired shutters with Aurelius curtains for her baby, Harry’s nursery. Swoon (and Harry is cute too).

Another popular pairing is sheer curtains with roller blinds, as it ticks off both style and practicality boxes and allows for versatility and light.

“Roller blinds create a modern look with their clean lines and minimalist design, adding a sleek, uncluttered style to any room,” Johansson said.

So, with expert approval and 20 per cent off - the time is now to level up your home’s space just in time for Christmas!
