Modern Upgrades to Classic Window Blinds near Vista, CA
Blinds have been around as a window treatment since the 1700s, a testament to the ingenuity of the design that allows for light control, privacy, and natural air flow all at once. And while the classic design holds true to its roots, modern upgrades have made the treatment more versatile and in line with contemporary styles.
That’s why Hunter Douglas blinds are one of the most popular styles of window treatment we offer at The Drapery Shop. Whether you choose Parkland® Wood Blinds, EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, or Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds, you’re bound to choose a window treatment that offers some of our favorite modern upgrades for blinds, including motorization, blackout features, and aesthetic embellishments.
If you were wondering which features would suit your needs, let us share some of our favorite options:
Motorization
One of the most popular upgrades for new window blinds is PowerView® Automation, as it brings a cornucopia of benefits to homeowners. Motorized blinds are drastically easier to use with a range of user-friendly interfaces. Because they are easier to use, they are more likely to be used, and their motorized movements are more precise and controlled for overall better efficiency. Additionally, since motorized blinds don’t need a hanging cord to raise or lower the treatments, they present a more child-safe option as well.
For the latest in control for motorized blinds, operating systems like PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas give homeowners access to their blinds, shades, and shutters with the PowerView® app via your smartphone or tablet and the ability to connect to home assistant devices and smart home programs. There are even options for automated scheduling that can integrate new window blinds fully into your household routine and protect it while you’re away by creating the illusion of occupancy.
Enhanced Light Control
Natural sunlight can be a beautiful design element in the home - it is warm and welcoming, not to mention free. However, though beautiful, there are times in every day when it’s preferable to block that light instead of allowing it in. New window blinds are exceptional at light control, thanks to their slatted design which gives homeowners a range of movements so they can allow in as little or as much light as needed.
However, for rooms where you want blackout darkness, invest in upgrades that improve the light blocking ability of blinds like the de-Light™ system from Hunter Douglas. The innovative de-Light™ system blocks or eliminates cord holes and their corresponding light leaks to create darker interiors.
New window blinds can also be paired with side panels to add another layer of light protection focused on the outer edges of blackout blinds to minimize light leaks around the treatment’s edges.
Aesthetic Customizations
- For modern blinds, new upgrades aren’t just to improve the functionality - there are aesthetic updates to the classic treatment to make them more visually flexible to fit with all kinds of modern interior décor.
For wood blinds, there are a variety of stains and finishes for classic or contemporary looks, and faux-wood blinds also have a range of color options and finishes, including realistic wood finishes. There are decorative tapes for both wood and faux-wood blinds for custom detailing.
New window blinds make an excellent base layer for multi-tiered window treatments, pairing well with drapes or side panels for personalized, one-of-a-kind window fashions.
