Style Your Space with Contemporary Blinds and Shades

You may feel uncertain about updating your windows with contemporary treatments, especially if you’re accustomed to traditional ones. In fact, many of our clients worry that a new style will land out of their comfort zone or not suit their existing decor. But with a little help from Cindy's Window Fashions’ design experts, you can find contemporary shades or blinds that add to your comfort — and exceed your expectations.

Contemporary Blinds for Modern Homes

Today's contemporary blinds from Hunter Douglas are a far cry from what was popular decades ago. These options are engineered for optimal performance and handsome looks.

• EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: These blinds offer the rich appearance of genuine wood without the heat and moisture sensitivity associated with natural wood. Their durable construction resists warping, fading, and cracking, so we suggest them for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-humidity areas.
• Aria™ Soft Blinds: With elegant fabric vanes that diffuse natural light beautifully, these contemporary blinds are one of the Hunter Douglas brand’s newest offerings. It’s a hybrid design, with a horizontal, sophisticated profile.
• Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: Also a hybrid design and perfect for large windows and sliding glass doors, these wide, connected vertical panels glide smoothly along a track system for easy operation. Their architectural personality makes a bold statement, and you can choose from over 450 fabric options.

Contemporary Shades For Windows

There are many exceptional choices here, and we’ve selected these favorites:

• Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades: These luxurious contemporary shades have stunning woven fabrics that add artisanal appeal to windows. When raised, they fold into neat horizontal pleats and maximize outside views.
• Designer Banded Shades: Known as zebra shades, this style is anything but black and white. It has alternating sheer and opaque sections that let you adjust light and privacy levels throughout the day.
• Silhouette® Sheer Shades: These shades have soft fabric vanes integrated between sheer panels, for a radiant glow with light and privacy control. When you tilt the vanes, it creates a dimensional quality that you’ll love.

Decorating With Contemporary Blinds and Shades

Coordinating your new window treatments with existing décor is easier than you think. First, think about the color palette of your walls, furniture, and accessories. Neutral tones like white, gray, and beige are versatile and pair well with other neutrals and bold accent colors in artwork, throw pillows, and area rugs. And if your furniture has clean lines and minimal ornamentation, choose contemporary blinds or shades with a similar profile for visual consistency.

Texture is also important here: You can pair smooth blinds with plush textiles like wool throws for an appealing contrast. Woven shades complement natural materials like jute rugs and wooden furniture pieces. You don’t need to replace your furniture — we can help you add accents and repurpose what’s already in the room.
