Modern design isn't just about trend-chasing—it can be a way of life. Blending function with beauty, modern designers' aim is to make you see the world in a new, more aesthetic light and, with that in mind; they tackle everything from buildings and cars to humble items like pencils and silverware. Recent examples of popular modern design that made an impact all around include Apple's sleek iPod and the re-done Volkswagon Beatle. Now you can bring the clean lines of professional design into your home with modern window treatments.

Consider how serious you want to get: if you're thinking more contemporary cozy, simplicity is probably the direction you want to go in. But if you're turning your home into a modernist paradise, you'll want to coordinate your modern window treatments with the unusual materials that characterize modern design interiors. These materials usually include glass, chrome and brightly colored solid plastic. To compliment these, consider either solid, matched mini blinds— i.e. if you've got a solid bright red plastic chair, consider red blinds as well as splashing the color on other focus points in the room—or innovative solar shades with metallic accents. If you're feeling really bold, you could even look into classic, colorful Swedish textile prints for your drapes. Try not to overwhelm the room, though. Keep it simple and clean by opting for looped cord or cordless blinds and again, make sure the color is something you're comfortable living with.

 

 

Mini blinds, also called horizontal mini blinds, are a classic choice with the widest color selection of all window treatments. Also referred to as Venetian blinds (2" slats) or micro blinds (1/2" slats), mini blinds offer clean-lined design that works with virtually any room style. For a fashionable look, consider 2" vinyl blinds in a textured finish with cloth tapes.
