Modernizing Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds have come a long way since their invention over 70 years ago. At South Kendall Interiors, we couldn’t be more excited about the modern interpretations of vertical blinds that honor the design proficiency of their forefather but update the features and style to suit the modern Florida household. So let us share our favorite modern vertical blinds and vertical window treatments from Hunter Douglas that will update both your concept of what vertical blinds can be and your home décor.

Hunter Douglas Luminette® Privacy Sheers near Miami, Florida (FL)

Modern Designs

With an innovative track system and eye-catching fabric panels, Skyline® Gliding Window Panels update the classic notion of what vertical blinds can be with a flair of modern style. Instead of hanging vanes, the treatment has fabric-wrapped panels, available in over 450 fabric/color choices, that block light and provide privacy as needed. Instead of a single header, these modern vertical blinds use a built-in track system to traverse seamlessly side-to-side that can also be styled as a room divider if needed. When you’re not using the blinds, the panels stack neatly to the side, opening up the entire view beneath. The result of these changes to classic vertical blinds is a contemporary model that elevates the design by modernizing the look and improving performance.

Modern Textiles

Though the original vertical blinds used hard materials, incorporating softer fabrics creates a new side to vertical blinds. Luminette® Privacy Sheers brings together vertical blinds and sheer textiles. The result is a door and window covering with a soft aesthetic that hides many light control features. The sheer materials filter sunlight to create glowing interior illumination while obscuring the view for light control and privacy.

Sheers also provide protection against UV, which can permanently damage items in a home if not mitigated over the long run. And to pull your new sheer vertical blinds seamlessly into home décor, Hunter Douglas offers fabric cut by the yard for matching custom accessories and accent pieces.

Modern Efficiency

Cellular shades are a money-saving model of modern vertical window treatments. The interior honeycomb design behooves this treatment with the ability to block energy exchange through windows, helping keep your air conditioning in and the heat out. With the Vertiglide™ system, this energy-efficient shade can mimic the side-to-side movement of vertical blinds. Combining these features from vertical blinds and cellular shades can help lower your home’s carbon footprint by organically regulating temperature without additional heating or cooling. This is a money-saving feature for Miami homeowners, especially when temperatures spike.
