Modern interior design favors clean lines, minimal clutter, and materials that look intentionally curated for your needs, style, and preferences. If you're updating your home, the right window blinds make a bigger difference than you'd think.

Our experts at Accent Window Fashions can help you choose types of blinds that complement your modern home, rather than working against it.

Aluminum Blinds for Industrial-Modern Spaces

Aluminum blinds fit naturally into any interior design because of their clean, utilitarian look. The slim metal slats and minimal hardware give you light control without visual weight. Matte finishes in black, white, or gray work particularly well for many styles, blending into the architecture instead of demanding attention.

Aluminum handles moisture without warping, so these blinds work in kitchens and bathrooms where durability is crucial. The slats tilt to precisely control light, and they stack compactly at the top of your window when open.

Wood Blinds With Contemporary Finishes

Wood blinds can lean traditional or modern, depending on their finish and slat size. Accent Window Fashions recommend matching your wood stains or painted finishes in white, gray, or black. Larger slat sizes (2-inch or 2.5-inch) create a more contemporary look than smaller, traditional slats.

Natural wood adds warmth to spaces that might otherwise feel cold, helping to balance the hard surfaces common in modern design.

Faux Wood Blinds for Budget-Conscious Design

Faux wood blinds deliver a similar look to real wood at a lower price point. Modern colors like white, gray, and taupe are widely available. The composite materials resist moisture and temperature changes better than real wood, making them practical for humid Omaha summers.

These types of window blinds work throughout your home, and they're easier to operate than real wood—even on larger windows.

Vertical Blinds for Modern Openings

Vertical blinds are a great choice for modern homes with sliding glass doors or floor-to-ceiling windows. Not your grandma’s vertical blinds, modern options come in stylish vertical orientations that emphasize height and create clean lines when closed. When open, they stack to one side and stay out of your way. The experts at our showroom can show you updated vertical options that fit contemporary spaces—or we can bring the samples to you.

Motorized Blinds for Clean Lines

Motorization fits the modern lifestyle. Eliminate cords and chains—your blinds operate with remotes, smartphone apps, or voice commands. Motorized blinds look cleaner because there's no operating mechanism visible. Everything tucks inside the headrail, which matches modern design principles while making your daily routine easier.
