Design Space - test out your room's colour scheme before committing

We've all been there.  Decorating or re-designing a room and having second-thoughts about the colours you've chosen.  Perhaps they don't quite go together as well as you'd anticipated, or maybe they give off a different mood than you'd been hoping for.  Or maybe you just find it difficult to visualise how a finished room will look.

Apollo Blinds have launched a new free online tool to take the stress away from your interior designing and help you experiment with different looks before the expense and effort of committing to them.


The Design Space tool is simple and intuitive to use.  Simply go to the home page and click the 'Design your room' tab at the top of the screen. You can choose from various different standard rooms to suit your home - Modern Kitchen; Vibrant Living Room; Classic Bedroom; Contemporary Living Room; Study; Modern Bathroom; Child's Room; Office; Modern Living Space; etc etc.

Once you've selected the most appropriate room to that you're redesigning, you can choose a blind type for your window dressing from the range that Apollo Blinds offer.

Then, have fun choosing colours for the blinds, the wall colours and the accessories.  Try experimenting with schemes and be bold with colours.  You can afford to go wild, trying out pattern and colour, and be a little braver than you may usually, because it's all free from any commitment.

The tool perfectly demonstrates the effect of colour on a room if ever you were in any doubt, and can be really useful for working out the ambience you are hoping to achieve.  See how these different colours change the mood from a fun and vibrant space with bright red; to a soothing, contemplative place in soft violet or a cool, fresh retreat in pale blue hues.




You can experiment mixing and matching patterns and colours to your heart's content until you come up with a look you love.  Save time and money on costly decorating mistakes, as well as finding the perfect blinds for your home. Release your inner designer with Apollo, and be a little bolder with your next room make-over and choice of window blinds.

  1. Ooh I love this idea, I'm alway dead cautious about colour choices so seeing them like this before I buy would be very helpful to me.

  2. What a great idea! I find it difficult to imagine the colours in my home against other colours so this would be great for me.

  6. It is a great feature to experiment. I love colour in the home and just bought some bright yellow blinds so this would have been good to try first.

    1. Ahh yes, sometimes it's hard t recreate the image you have in your mind. Hard to describe it to a reluctant other half too sometimes!

  11. What a great idea. I always thought I'd prefer red, but that blue really jumps out at me. It makes a real difference being able to see the finished version.
