The Best Modern Window Coverings for Homeowners
Remember the old-fashioned window blinds you grew up with? They pale in comparison to the modern window coverings found at Nest Expressions. Innovative materials and advanced technology have changed how we cover our windows, much to our clients’ benefit. You’ll see familiar categories below, but the styles are fresh, and the operating systems are better. Whether you need a single modern window treatment or window coverings for the entire home, our experienced team has the knowledge and experience to help.
Sleek, Energy Efficient Modern Window Coverings
1. Motorized Roller Shades
Motorized roller shades are trending for homeowners who want convenience and designer appeal. These coverings have high-quality fabrics that roll up into headrails on top. You operate the automated system with a remote control, smartphone, or voice commands. They work well on different-sized windows and cater to different lighting preferences, from sheer to blackout.
2. Cellular Shades
Cellular shades are fantastic multitasking window treatments. Their honeycomb design traps air, forming an insulating barrier. It prevents heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, regulating room temperatures. We like the soft, textured aesthetic that complements classic and modern decor.
3. Roman Shades
When made with luxury fabrics, Roman shades add elegance to any space. They feature full or flat folds that stack neatly when raised for a tailored look. Modern Roman shades now feature cordless options for added safety, especially in homes with children or pets. You can find them in countless fabrics, patterns, and colors.
Modern Window Coverings for Large Windows
1. Panel Track Blinds
These are hard to classify because they have qualities of vertical blinds but a cleaner look. Panel track blinds have large, long fabric panels with weighted bottoms that move along a track. When open, they stack neatly for unobstructed views. These blinds are a real statement piece and represent state-of-the-art design.
2. Sheer Shades
These modern shades have soft, horizontal vanes that seem to float between two layers of sheer fabric. The effect is impressive—the gently filtered light creates a radiant effect that goes throughout your room. Sheer panels also feature high-end fabrics, plus an unexpected bonus: UV protection for your home’s interior.
Minimalist Modern Window Coverings
1. Horizontal Blinds
Custom wood and faux wood horizontal blinds have come a long way from the basic designs of the past. Professional measurement and installation make a noticeable difference here because these modern window coverings fit like a glove, look stunning, and work perfectly. They offer better light and privacy control, and we tailor them to many window sizes. As with today’s modern aluminum blinds, you’ll find an incredible selection of colors and finishes.
2. Natural Woven Shades
We’re not sure whether to call these shades organic or minimalist; for simplicity’s sake, let’s say they are both. Natural woven shades are simple and refined at the same time. Made from eco-friendly materials like bamboo, reeds, or grasses, these shades add texture and warmth to interior spaces. They bring an earthy feel not seen with other window treatments, but they’re surprisingly durable, thanks to modern craftsmanship methods.
