Creating a Minimalist Style With Window Shades
You can find lots of different styles in the world of interior design, including classic, contemporary, and more. At Blind Builders here Feasterville, we carry a full line of window fashions that can complement any style, including minimalist. If you’re thinking of making your home under minimal style, read on to learn a little more about this popular trend.
Pared Down
You’ve surely heard the phrase “less is more,” which was coined by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a renowned German-American architect and interior designer in the 20th century. That phrase is the general philosophy of minimalism. And although minimalism as a trend has been a thing for numerous decades, it has recently regained popularity because of the drive toward sustainability and reducing waste. The essence of minimalism is having only what you need and nothing that you don’t.
About Minimalism
Homes in minimalist style have clean lines, neutral base colors with stark contrasts, simple shapes, no excessive furniture or décor, an open floor plan, and natural light. They are uncluttered, purposeful, peaceful, and calming.
Creating Your Space as Minimalist
A good approach is to start by decluttering. Remove all but your most beloved pieces of décor and art. Keep only the elements and furniture that you truly need and enjoy—for example, in your living room, you might not use a certain end table but you do use the coffee table. If you are going to bring something new into the space, select elements that are timeless and simple, so you don’t have to update too soon.
Choosing Window Fashions for a Minimalist Design Style
For minimalist style, choose window fashions that have lean lines, useful functionality, and simplicity. An excellent option is the Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shade. This product offers smooth, flawless operation and is available in more than 350 color and fabric choices, including complementary neutrals or colors that can add contrast to the space. Duette® Cellular Shades add texture to the window; plus, their honeycomb construction offers energy-saving functionality. Silhouette® Sheer Shades also work well for minimalism, with their simple lines and sheer fabric, which beautifully filters sunlight. Finally, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades offer no exposed rear cords for a tidy appearance.
