Do blinds have to match the interior trim?

11 years ago

I have a tudor brick bungalow. The exterior trim is painted tudor brown to match the brick. The interior trim is off-white but I'm concerned about the appearance of the white blinds from the exterior of the house vs. matching the interior trim. I have an eclectic decorating style.

white window treatments are always correct from the outside. thats why drapes are always lined with white.
