Styling Custom Window Treatments for Modern Interior Design
When we read about the elements of modern design, the main topics typically focus on furniture, accessories, and color. But complementary window treatments should also factor into this aesthetic: After all, you wouldn’t want outdated vertical blinds to throw off the whole look.
At Laura's Draperies, Bedspreads, and More, our experts know that custom window treatments are one of the most powerful tools for bringing a modern design vision to life. The right window covering does not just dress a window; it anchors the entire room.
What Makes Modern Interior Design Unique?
Modern design is rooted in simplicity, function, and intention. It favors open spaces, natural light, and a neutral foundation punctuated by deliberate moments of texture or color. We like how it welcomes warmth and personality, with purpose behind every choice.
A few characteristics define modern design:
- Neutral color palettes with warm undertones, such as taupe, cream, charcoal, and soft white
- Natural materials like wood, stone, linen, and cotton
- Clean architectural lines without excessive ornamentation
- Uncluttered spaces where each piece earns its place
Now, you can choose window treatments that fit in instead of feeling like afterthoughts.
How Custom Window Treatments Complement Modern Design
Off-the-shelf window coverings rarely honor the integrity of a well-designed space. We carefully select custom window treatments to complement a home's architecture and our clients’ preferences. That strategy is the heart of polished modern design.
Linen, silk blends, and woven textures all sit beautifully in modern spaces, and sheer panels are a favorite for rooms that need privacy without sacrificing natural light. When a room calls for a little drama, floor-to-ceiling panels in a warm neutral do the job without competing with the other elements.
Do not overlook the hardware. Matte black feels modern and elegant, while brushed brass adds warmth. Or, you might consider satin nickel hardware. The right choice should be notable, but still let the fabric or material shine.
PowerView® Automation and Modern Interior Design Living
Nothing says modern living quite like smart home integration. PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas controls window treatments with a remote, app, or voice commands.
Scheduling shades to rise with the morning light or lower at sunset adds convenience and sophistication to daily life; you can also open, close, and adjust your window treatments on the spot with this system. Motorization also suits modern design because it has no visible cords, keeping with the clutter-free look.
