Modern Blinds for Modern Homes
We can trace the history of modern blinds back to the 1700s Persia and then to the 1760s when an Englishman was awarded the first patent for the style of window treatment we now refer to as Venetian blinds.
Since then, the design has been augmented thanks to advancements in technology, including the introduction of vertical blinds in the 1950s and new additions to materials and technology to make these window treatments more useful and efficient over time.
Now, our team at The Drapery Shop is able to offer the best in modern blinds by Hunter Douglas. We carry horizontal and vertical blinds that feature the latest high-tech options to improve your window treatments’ performance and update their designs for the latest in twenty-first century style.

De-Light™ feature
For homes in need of blackout shades, the de-Light™ feature for modern blinds creates darker interiors by minimizing light coming through cord holes on the treatment’s vanes.
