Could I paint a roller blind? I want to change the colour, not spend a fortune on new ones...?

Question

Will they still roll up the same if I paint them? I would probably use emulsion....?

Answer 1

Emulsion will definitely crack. I would be surprised if the roller blind still worked, too. Use fabric dye (number 1 choice) or fabric paint to do this job otherwise you are going to have a disaster on your hands. Don't forget to do both sides too...

Answer 2

Painting Roller Blinds

Answer 3

Yes, The benefit of roller blinds is their flexibility. Obviously there are a range of styles that allow them to be matched to any design palate, but they're functionally flexible as well. Again, due to the wide range of fabrics and materials that roller blinds can be constructed from, these blinds are suitable for just about any room. You can install these in bathrooms, children's rooms, living spaces, and kitchens they are an appropriate fit for any situation. Some home owners may even choose a dual a roller blind wherein two blinds are installed on the same mount. For example, you may want complete control over the amount of light that enters a room. In this case, you can install dual sun-screening blinds and black-out blinds; sun-screen blinds allow light to pass while blocking glare and UV rays, while black-out blinds are impenetrable to light.

Answer 4

Try using fabric paint or spray paint. Neither will crack unless used frequently. I spray painted 4 of them and after so long using them everday, they began to wear, but now they have a really cool vintage look :)

Answer 5

I wouldnt recommend it, but you could unroll the roller blind and put a shimmery fabric over the top and roll it up again, it gives a dual layer effect which I think is cool

Answer 6
