Go international with Japanese style blinds

A variety of things come to mind when you think of the Japanese style, from the art of origami and woodblock designs to elegant folding screens featuring paintings and calligraphy. You may have seen the series of 36 woodblock prints that Hokusai (1760-1849) made depicting Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. Japan is remembered today for its minimalist architecture and design. With Telford blinds, why not add some Japanese style to your home?

How to do Japanese style with Telford blinds

As well as being inspired by this glorious county, we may be based in Telfordbut we also look further afield to deliver the broadest option to our customers. The Japanese design of blinds and curtains is absolutely fine. Here are some ideas for your house, ranging from cherry blossom fabrics to Shoji panel blinds.

1. Be inspired by Japanese cherry blossom

In Japan, Springtime conjures up memories of trees flooded with pink cherry flowers (sakura in Japanese). While loving their elegance, family and friends enjoy picnics together. There is also a Japanese term for cherry blossom observation, hanami, which translates as ‘viewing flowers’. You too will enjoy seeing a cherry blossom with blinds made of Louvolite fabric. New for 2019, cherry blossom comes in a variety of colors from red and yellow to a more monochrome color palette in the fabric designs of Louvolite. For panel blinds, a great match, roller blinds or Roman blinds, these beautiful fabrics will work well.

Visit one of our Telford Showrooms to see these striking designs for yourself, or book a home appointment. All the measuring, making and fitting of your blinds will be carried out by Telford blinds.
