Blinds for a Modern Aesthetic

Blinds as a window treatment may date back to the 1700s, but their look in modern Miami homes is anything but dated, thanks to Hunter Douglas blinds. These blinds offer updated aesthetics and the latest in state-of-the-art operation. Join our team at South Kendall Interiors to learn more about modern blinds and their benefit in your Miami home as we explore the styles and upgrades available in this blog.

Modern Blind Designs

One exciting development for modern vertical blinds has been the incorporation of soft fabrics into the traditionally complex aesthetic. Hunter Douglas has two types of revamped vertical blinds that utilize the design and light control precision of vertical blinds but add fabric components to modernize the look.

• Luminette® Sheer Panels: This modern vertical blind design is a hybrid of sheer shadings and vertical blinds. The sheer materials not only add a softer, more graceful aesthetic, but they also protect with UV filtering abilities. Luminette® Sheer Panels are available in over 80 fabric choices for a final look tailored to individual tastes.
• Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: Borrowing from the dramatic style of drapery and the side-to-side movements of vertical blinds, Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds are ideal for specialty picture windows, exceptionally tall or broad windowpanes, patio doors, and sliding glass doors. The treatment’s panel-track system can also craft room dividers for multi-purpose use in a space. Homeowners have over 450 fabric choices for the treatment’s fabric-wrapped panels to use instead of the hard, hanging vanes in traditional vertical blinds.

Customizations for a Modern Blind Aesthetic

For more traditional styles of blinds, Hunter Douglas offers multiple customizations that can modernize the look and operation of window treatments. Ask your design team about any model-specific attributes you’re looking for, or get help styling Hunter Douglas blinds to meet your home’s specific design aesthetic.

• Color: Traditionally made of wood, blinds use this neutral hue, and Hunter Douglas blinds come in a choice of wood tones. However, they also come in a spectrum of solid colors popular nowadays, including white for a fresh, modern look.
• Vane Size: Another way to modernize the look of blinds is to change the vane size. Not only do larger vane sizes give off a more contemporary look, but they also create correspondingly more significant gaps between the vanes for expanded views that result in a more open and spacious feeling inside.
• Motorization: PowerView® Automation gives the power of motorization to Hunter Douglas blinds and is compatible with both vertical blinds and Venetian blinds in the collection. Motorized blinds are incredibly easy for homeowners to use, with the system offering a choice of interfaces, including a handheld remote control, an online app for worldwide access, and PowerView® Automation, which you can integrate into various home assistants and smart home programs.
