Cindy's & Bolliger Window Fashions partners with designers, homeowners, and customers for projects, whether the goal is traditional, modern, or anything in between. And to be completely transparent, modern interior design is one of our favorites. Let’s start with the basics of what defines modern design and how to achieve this look with your window treatments.

How to Go Modern

Window treatments and other modern design elements emphasize clean lines and minimal ornamentation. They feature a neutral color palette with bold accents, natural materials like wood and stone, and sleek and functional furnishings. Industrial elements, like metal and glass, add to this aesthetic. Modern design also emphasizes clutter-free layouts and practicality for comfort and understated elegance.

Our featured brands offer many modern window and glass door treatments that complement contemporary interiors. We’ve selected five options for your consideration, and we’re confident you’ll be impressed with the selection.

1. Modern Drapery

Drapery has always been a classic choice, but our selection of modern drapery features a stunning array of luxury fabrics and styles with modern appeal. We recommend neutral tones and textured materials; sheers filter light softly and add sophistication. Avoid heavier materials like velvet and brocade, as those materials tend to work better in more traditional spaces. We also love to layer modern drapery with other window treatments for a richer look.

2. Cellular Shades

Energy efficiency is always in style, as exemplified by Duette® Cellular Shades. Their honeycomb design traps air to form an insulating barrier that saves home and business owners money on utility bills. These shades are perfect for Oregon’s climate, where fluctuating temperatures require adaptable window solutions. Hunter Douglas makes these shades in an incredible range of fabrics and sizes, with different enhancements and control options.

3. Roller Shades

Getting back to modern minimalism, Designer Roller Shades are all about clean lines. They offer a compact design and smooth operation, with over 370+ fabric/color choices. You can shop for patterns and materials to add visual interest and enhance their modern aesthetic. If you need to control UV rays and glare, ask about Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades. They come in five opacities and feature the exclusive GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric collection.

4. Vertical Blinds

One of the Hunter Douglas brand’s most modern window coverings is Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. Perfect for expansive windows, this design features gliding 11 ½" or 17" panels with interlocking bottom weights for smooth operation. Available in over 450 colors, the panels offer unobstructed views when open and stack tightly when partially or fully closed.
