Offers available while stocks last “Crisp white and serene blue is a classic combination – it can conjure the freshness of a by-the-sea-setting, synonymous with clear summer skies and scudding white clouds,” says Mark Chambers, marketing manager, English Blinds (englishblinds.co.uk).
“Dressing the window with a blind like our Visage Mayfair Snow, which echoes the colour palette, rather than bulky curtains, can help make the room appear larger and more airy.
“For a light summery scheme,” Mark adds, “balance a white backdrop with splashes of blue in prints and cushions, to add depth and interest.”
