The #1 rule for decorating - go with what you like! But if you have a hard time visualizing it (which makes it impossible to determine whether you like it or not!), I'd suggest a few things: Go Online: The most useful tool I can recommend is BlindCrafter.com's Virtual Decorator (you can find it on the homepage, or directly by visiting: ). This is a terrific tool that allows you to "virtually decorate" a room that is similar to your in nature (bedroom, bath, etc), wall color, molding color, and shade color. So you can design a room with your colors and see what it might look like! The internet is also a great resource for ideas - Blindcrafter.com and many other sites have tons of room shots that will give you an idea of what works and what doesn't. Magazines: Thumb through home decorating magazines and find looks you like -- I'll bet you'll find the wood blinds accented by white moldings. It's definitely a look that works. I hope this helps. And remember, go with your designing instincts- it's what will make your house a home! Happy Designing! Kristina Absolutely! The #1 rule for decorating - go with what you like!

Wood would be darker and tend to absorb the heat, rather than reflect it. Good luck with your project. I am inclined to think that white would look better and be cooler to deflect the hot sun.
