We're looking to buy new window shades- we have a really big window at the front of our house, it is basically most of the wall, so I feel like any shade we put up really needs to blend with our paint color. If you have dove white paint on your walls, what color/type of shade do you have on your windows? Tia!

We got samples from select blind and matched up the color nicely.

Great idea, thank you, I'm just terrible at colors though : (
I was hoping someone already did the matching up!

Isn't a white shade classic regardless of wall color??

You need to get samples and find a good match. There are so many shades of white. The wrong shade can look really off.

My walls are cloud white( very similar to dove) https://www.selectblinds.com/z.....wsTab
I got this shade I did Merkat. I also did Kudo for some rooms (it’s a different texture) I didn’t like it that much but was ok.

If you have white moldings go with white

Thank you, I see other people also recommended white, tge problem is that the window takes up almost a whole wall so it's like painting the wall white, which seems very stark to me. I would really like a softer creamier color, thanks!

Thank you! So I checked and it looks great, but it doesn't come in a wide enough size! I need 10 feet!
