Pinoleum Orangery Blinds

Whether it’s called shabby chic, french country style, or more recently cottage-core, there has always been an interiors trend focused around well loved family furniture, vintage finds, bleached out neutrals and overstuffed cushions. It’s the kind of cosy, relaxed living that encourages you to kick off your shoes and curl up with a cup of tea, or a glass of wine.

You know the feeling, right? In our dreams this house is usually in the south of France, or perhaps Diane Keaton’s beach house in Something’s Gotta Give. Sadly, the reality for many of us is how to create the same mood in a slightly different climate.

Pinoleum blinds, used traditionally for conservatories and orangeries are the perfect partner for creating a modern country mood anywhere in the house. Made of slivers of fine wood which are woven together and then bound with binding tape, pinoleum is loved for its semi-transparent look which reduce glare and heat while maintaining the view outside. Fans of pinoleum talk about adding texture and warmth to their interior and about the inviting dappled light that doesn’t cut off the outside.

Need To Know

Remember, because they are roman blinds pinoleum folds up gently, for a more rustic look.
Because pinoleum blinds were first used in conservatories, they can fit into tight angles and awkward triangular spaces, not just simple rectangular windows.
