What color of faux wood blinds should we use?

We have antique white (off-white) trim inside the house. The walls are painted caramel and lighter shades of that. The exterior of our house is sand (tan) with white window trim. I found some relatively inexpensive white faux wood blinds at Home Depot that they cut while you wait. Should I go with those white ones to match the exterior trim or should I go with off-white to be the same color as the interior trim? Thanks.

bring one home and try it (b-4 the cutting) sometimes the contrast can be nice or it can just make your trim look dirty but the only way to truly tell is in your home with your lighting.

	They should match your interior trim. This color will also allow you to make more decorating changes in the future. Such as draperies. References : Professional interior decorator for 20 years.

You might as well match it to the interior trim. When you look at the blinds from the inside, you see them clearly. But, when looking at the blinds from the outside, the glass from the window might distort the color a bit, making them look off-white, anyway.

Besides, you’ll be looking at them from inside all the time, and occasionally from the outside. So, make it match from the side you will see all the time.
