Hi, we just got new windows and had the jambs and trim also done. I need to pick out new blinds/shades ASAP to have some privacy but we will also be re-painting most of our rooms within the year. I know we are probably doing this totally backwards... BUT sometimes you are at the mercy of when things can get schuduled. Are there any guidelines to follow to decide on a neutral blind/shade color? We have white trim, and I thought I just wanted white cellular shades, but the consultant said they see so many that are ruined in a short time because of staining and recommended doing something with a bit more color and texture. We have kids and a dog and live kind of rough so I'm leery of anything too delicate for our lifestyle, and we also have a moderate budget, so the colors offered were somewhat limited. Mostly just wondering if there are any "rule of thumb" kind of things out there to help lead me in a direction.
