A Guide to Modern Blinds
Blinds are one of the fundamental styles of window treatments dating back to the 1700s and are popular across America, including in many modern Hawaiian homes. The enduring nature of window blinds is a tribute to the treatment's innovative design that continues to provide what homeowners want most: light control, privacy, and airflow all in one. And while the core design of blinds has remained true throughout the ages, their aesthetics and amenities have continued to evolve. Come along as we explore the latest features of our favorite modern blinds by Hunter Douglas.
Advanced Building Materials
While blinds were originally carved from wood, modern blinds come in various materials, including hardwood and other advanced man-made materials. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds featuring Performance Plus™ Protection, are made from an ultra-durable wood alternative designed to resist the harmful effects of humidity and sun, such as discoloration, warping, cracking, or fading.
Hybrid Designs
Combining the precision of blinds and the aesthetics of sheer shades, Hunter Douglas created several styles of soft blinds for their collection of modern residential styles. Luminette® Sheer Panels are an option for vertical treatments that operate like vertical blinds but have the flowing aesthetic of sheer curtains. Pirouette® Sheer Shades, on the other hand, are a horizontal option like Venetian blinds with vanes that adjust to block or permit sunlight. Either option combines the best of both worlds and offers a fantastic choice for any window.
Light Control Upgrades
The innovative de-Light™ feature transforms modern blinds into blackout treatments by decreasing the size of cord holes, reducing the amount of light that can leak through. This makes for a darker room and is available on Parkland® Wood Blinds, EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, and Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds.
Motorized Operating Systems
Modern amenities for modern blinds include motorization, which improves the efficiency of window treatments and makes them more accessible and convenient. PowerView® Automation is the latest motorized system from Hunter Douglas and is compatible with multiple styles of their blinds, including:
- Parkland® Wood Blinds
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
- Luminette® Sheer Panels
- Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds
Aesthetic Customizations
It's not one size fits all when it comes to the looks of modern blinds. Not only is this style of window treatment available in a range of wood stains or solid paint colors, but there is also the option for decorative tapes in various colors and patterns and a choice in slat size - 2" or 2 ½".
Innovative Track Panel Designs
For a fabric-forward version of modern blinds, explore the statement-making style of Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. These contemporary treatments use gliding, fabric-wrapped panels traverse side-to-side like traditional vertical blinds, stacking seamlessly to the side when open. The fabric library for panel track blinds from Hunter Douglas houses over 450 color choices for Hawaiian homeowners.
