Are Vertical Blinds Outdated (or Not)?
Are vertical blinds outdated? Designers hear this question all the time—and usually they’ll have the same response. The short answer is no!
The longer answer is more nuanced:
- While we can all agree that popular interior decor styles can be more or less trendy, nothing ever truly goes out of style if you enjoy it.
- Many design trends shift according to new technologies or materials, but good design remains timeless.
At Accent Window Fashions, our experts work with families throughout the Omaha area to find vertical window treatments that fit their lifestyle and home perfectly—without feeling outdated.
What Makes Today's Custom Vertical Blinds Different
Remember those classic white vertical blinds from the past? Today's custom vertical blinds couldn't be more different. Hunter Douglas completely reimagined what vertical treatments could look like and do.
- Skyline® Panel-Track Blind aren't your typical vertical blinds at all. Our experts love showing customers how these wide fabric panels can transform a room. With more than 450 fabric options, you can find something that matches your style perfectly. Plus, they work beautifully as room dividers when you mount them on the ceiling.
- We also get excited about Luminette® Sheer Panels. Perfect for when homeowners want something that feels like drapery but works like vertical blinds. The fabric vanes rotate 180 degrees, so you get gorgeous, filtered light during the day and complete privacy whenever you need it.
Where Vertical Blinds Really Shine
One thing we absolutely love about custom vertical blinds is that they solve problems that horizontal blinds just can't handle.
Got a massive sliding door? Floor-to-ceiling windows? Vertical orientation makes so much more sense. We recommend Somner® Vertical Blinds for customers with these challenging windows because they offer incredible variety in colors, textures, and materials. Whether you prefer fabric or need something more durable like vinyl, there's an option that works.
And here's something that really impresses homeowners: Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation works with vertical blinds, too. Imagine controlling your window treatments from your phone or setting them to open automatically when you wake up. That's not outdated—that's the future happening right now in your home.
Are Vertical Blinds Outdated in Modern Homes?
Not even close. Our experts see how well vertical treatments work in today's homes every single day. Those clean, straight lines of Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds are perfect for modern and minimalist spaces. Coordinate that classic vertical look in fabric or vinyl options without breaking the bank. Sometimes simple really is better!
Vertical Options for Commercial Projects, Too
We also handle commercial window treatments throughout the greater Omaha area. Custom vertical blinds remain the go-to choice for offices, conference rooms, and retail spaces. When you need professional appearance plus serious light control, vertical treatments deliver every time.
