If you’re looking to find window design inspiration when it comes to your custom blinds and beyond, we’ve got you covered. Our team at Imperial Blind & Shutter is here to help with designer tips for styling some of our favorite Hunter Douglas blinds to help make your home’s aesthetic sensibilities shine.

Enjoy Classic Elegance with Parkland® Wood Blinds

Do you love a classic aesthetic? Then we cannot recommend Parkland® Wood Blinds enough. Crafted from genuine hardwood poplar and basswood, these blinds bring a touch of warmth and sophistication to any room with their rich grain.

Natural textures aren’t just for rustic or eclectic spaces. These wood blinds provide a refined and elegant look for any type of home. While gorgeous on their own, these blinds can be further enhanced by styling them to add more depth. Custom drapery like white sheers can create a balance between the structured slats and the soft, airy feel curtains or drapes provide. Top treatments like valances also add to a traditional space by hiding the hardware and carrying color around a room, creating a balance to the space. In addition to creating a balanced look at the window, combining your window treatments into a full look provides even more light control, privacy, and creates a polished, timeless design.

Timeless Charm with Colorful Choices

If you love the idea of genuine wood blinds but need a lower-maintenance solution, we recommend EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds. Made from long-lasting, man-made materials, these blinds are designed to withstand moisture, fading, and warping. Plus, they come in over 50 neutral colors and wood-tone stains to enliven any space.

Having several options to customize the colors of your blinds also makes them effortless to style. If your home leans toward a traditional décor style, pairing a darker wood-stained faux wood blind with a soft neutral or pastel tone can strike a lovely balance between the dark finish of the slats and a light, welcoming tone. If you prefer a more streamlined window treatment that blends into your decor, choosing colors that match your window trim, valances, or curtains can create a complete look at the window while still creating visual and textural depth and intrigue.

Sleek Window Design for a Modern Home

For those looking for a sleek, contemporary option that offers lasting durability, Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds by Hunter Douglas offer the best of both worlds. Available in a range of finishes—from matte to metallic—and capable of “bouncing back” better than most blinds, these window treatments are excellent for homes that want a no-muss, no-fuss design that enhances the beauty of their home.

Their versatile design also makes them excellent and easy to style! For busy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or playrooms, the sleek design pairs well with minimalistic décor, such as clean lines in furniture or shades that follow a neutral color scheme. You can also combine these blinds with drapery panels in contrasting colors for a bit more drama in an eclectic room.
