Our best home investment would have to be the curtains and blinds because they elevate the cosy vibes of our space!
We got day curtains in our living room in s-fold style, which I feel looks more elegant because it falls uniformly. It costs more for s-fold due to more cloth required, but it's worth it!
In the study, TOSO aluminum blinds were chosen for aesthetics. It provides a contemporary feel and I love that it comes in a beige tone that brings such warmth to the room!
I'd consider this a splurge as there are cheaper venetian blinds options out there. But no regrets as I like the sleeker look of aluminum blinds and the quality of these made-in-Japan blinds are good!
I was afraid that having curtains in the living room and blinds in the study would not match visually, considering our open concept space. But I think it turned out well in the end as their colours match!
Having blinds in the study is a more practical choice due to its shorter length. We could potentially place a cabinet below the window, which full-length curtains would not allow.
The same blinds are used in our bedroom as well. I enjoy looking at the patterns the morning sun casts on the wall as it beams through the gaps in the blinds :)
