Plan Ahead: Match Paint Colour Samples With Our Blind Samples Before Your Renovation Starts
Renovating your home is exciting, but the timing can be tricky—especially when it comes to window coverings. Most people wait until their renovation is complete to think about blinds, only to face weeks of additional waiting with bare windows.
There's a smarter way: order your blinds before the work starts, so they're ready to install the moment your renovation is complete.
The Challenge: Coordinating Colours Without Finished Walls
The biggest hurdle? Choosing blind fabrics when your walls haven't been painted yet. You want your window coverings to complement your new colour scheme perfectly, but how do you make that decision when you're staring at old paint or bare plaster?
The Solution: Paint Samples Meet Fabric Samples
This is where The Big Paint Sample becomes your renovation planning partner. Instead of guessing how your chosen paint will look with our blind fabrics, you can:
- Order paint samples from The Big Paint Sample in your shortlisted colours
- Request fabric samples from us for the blinds you're considering
- Compare them side-by-side in your actual space and lighting
- Make confident decisions about both paint and blinds before any work begins
Why This Approach Works
See the real colours together: Paint chips and online swatches never tell the full story. Seeing actual paint samples next to our fabric samples shows you exactly how they'll work together in your home's natural light.
Order blinds early: Once you've confirmed your colour coordination, you can place your blind order while renovation work is underway. Our custom-made blinds are manufactured to your exact specifications and delivered ready to install.
Install immediately: When your painter finishes and your renovation is complete, your blinds arrive—no waiting weeks with bare windows or temporary solutions.
Avoid costly mistakes: There's nothing worse than ordering blinds after painting, only to discover the colours clash. Testing samples together eliminates that risk entirely.
How to Plan Your Renovation Timeline
Week 1-2: Order the new way of viewing paint samples from The Big Paint Sample and fabric samples from us. Test combinations in your space.
Week 2-3: Finalise your paint and blind selections. Place your blind order with us.
Week 3-6: Renovation work proceeds (painting, flooring, etc.). Your blinds are being custom-manufactured.
Week 6+: Renovation complete. Blinds delivered and installed. Move in with everything finished.
