Best Window Coverings for Contemporary Style
Contemporary style is all about clean lines, simplicity, and an overall minimalistic approach to design. Catering your window coverings to fall under contemporary style means selecting options that complement these design elements while still providing function and style. Which pieces will help you define your windows to meet your vision?
Here at Gables New York, our experienced team of design specialists is always happy to assist you in finding just the right window treatments for your home. In this blog, we will discuss a few of our collections that could help you achieve that contemporary style you are looking for.
Best Window Coverings for Contemporary Style
1. Roller Shades
Simple, sleek, and modern, roller shades are an excellent option for contemporary spaces. With a range of fabrics and materials to choose from, you can customize the level of privacy and light control to suit your needs. Our catalog offers a variety of roller shade options, including Designer Roller Shades, which come in a range of textures and patterns to add visual interest. In fact, we house over 350 unique looks, including colors such as Perla Blanca, Medallion, and Forest, so you’ll be able to find something truly unique to suit your style!
2. Sheer Shades
Sheer shades offer a unique light filtration and privacy control blend. Plus, they offer a contemporary look with a soft and elegant touch. Silhouette® Sheer Shades and Pirouette® Sheer Shades offer adjustable light control while providing a stylish, streamlined look. This combination of sleek style and formidable functionality makes them perfect for creating a contemporary style in your home.
One of the main differences between these two styles is that Silhouette® Sheer Shades features adjustable vanes, while Pirouette® Sheer Shades can be lifted entirely into the headrail for unobstructed viewing of the outdoors. Exploring those differences before making your final selection is essential, allowing you to make the most of your new window fashions.
3. Roman Shades
With their clean, tailored look, Roman shades are also famous for contemporary spaces. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades have a sleek and modern design as they don't feature exposed rear cords. Therefore, you can expect crisp lines and uncluttered looks. Once you stop by, consider Vignette® Roman Shades, Solera® Roman Shades, and more.
4. Shutters
If you're looking for a window treatment that's both classic and contemporary, shutters are a great option. Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are made from genuine hardwood, NewStyle® Composite Shutters are an approachable blend of modern and classic looks, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters were designed with challenging spaces in mind, such as kitchens and laundry rooms. As with all of our Hunter Douglas offerings, you can always count on high-quality construction, regardless of design.
