What is Modern Interior Design?

Modern interior design began in the early 1900s as a direct response to the bold, colorful, and ornate interior design styles that were popular leading up to it, light maximalism, Art Deco, and Victorian. As a result, modern interior design favors clean lines, natural fibers, neutral colors, and a calm atmosphere. It incorporates wood, glass, and metal, including chrome, for texture and decorative touches but eschews patterns. Minimalism, farmhouse, and mid-century modern styles all sprung out of the modern style, so there’s some overlap between them.

Best Modern Window Treatments

For modern window treatments, consider options that allow for lots of natural light and employ clean lines. Choose natural fibers for shades, like velvet, linen, and cotton, and wood for blinds and shutters. Metal blinds are also available if you want to add a metallic sheen.

Neutral colors are a staple of modern interior design, so select a color that complements your walls and furniture without standing out. Our staff can help you make suggestions that look good with your existing decor.

Selecting Your Modern Window Treatments: What to Consider

There are several Hunter Douglas window treatments for a modern interior design style, but that doesn’t mean they’ll all be a good fit for you. The following questions could help you land on your dream window treatments.

  • Do you prefer solid wood, metal, or fabric window treatments? If you prefer wood or metal, opt for blinds or shutters. If you prefer fabric window treatments, choose shades.
  • Do you want to optimize natural light and a view? If so, consider blinds, shutters, banded shades, or sheer shades.
  • Do you want to get the most energy savings? If so, consider cellular shades or wood plantation shutters. Roman shades can also reduce energy consumption.
