Best Window Treatments for Midcentury Interior Design

Midcentury interior design rose to popularity in the mid-twentieth century, from around 1945 to 1969. Its clean, geometric lines and minimalist aesthetic continue to appeal to homeowners today. Many are drawn to its incorporation of glass, vinyl, oak, and teak materials and bold colors, such as reds and yellows. Window treatments are essential to any design style, and finding ones compatible with your aesthetic is important.

At Design 5 Ltd., we have several high-quality window treatments from the Hunter Douglas collection that complement midcentury interior design well.

Add Woven Window Shades for Midcentury Interior Design

Hunter Douglas Alustra® Woven Texture Roman Shades highlight the midcentury style’s emphasis on earthy tones and natural and artificial materials. An exclusive collection of globally sourced materials gives these woven shades a distinctive look perfect for this interior design style.

Artisan handwoven Provenance® Woven Wood Shades have the organic appeal of natural woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. The natural materials and handmade construction give these woven shades a one-of-a-kind style. They gently filter light, and an optional independent liner provides more privacy. These woven shade styles are compatible with the award-winning PowerView® Automation, which puts control at your fingertips.

Capture Midcentury Style with Roller Shades

Designer Roller Shades embody the essence of midcentury interior design in several areas. They feature clean, crisp lines and bring visual interest to your windows without looking overdone. With nearly 400 fabric choices, these roller shades are the ideal way to incorporate some bold colors reminiscent of midcentury interiors.

Adding the Duolite® feature to your roller shades makes them more versatile by placing an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade. The LiteRise® push/pull system and UltraGlide® retractable wand offer reliable operation of your roller shades.

Incorporate Wood Blinds to Midcentury Design

Wood blinds, namely Parkland® Wood Blinds, are an excellent union of function and form. The adjustable wood slats offer unmatched variable light control, and various stain finishes allow you to incorporate them into any space.

Several cordless control options, including motorization, reduce visual clutter and make operating your blinds nearly effortless.

Make a Midcentury Statement with Panel-Track Blinds

Vertical blinds are essential for oversized windows or sliding glass doors in any interior design, and Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds offer the minimalist appeal that is popular in midcentury homes. Unlike traditional vertical blinds, panel-track blinds don’t have individual vanes that move around.

Instead, solid gliding panels move smoothly and provide a stunning backdrop for a room when you close them.

Create Luxurious Layers with Drapery

Layering drapery over woven window shades or other window treatments enhances their functionality and adds depth and movement to a space. When choosing drapery fabric, remember that geometric patterns and organic shapes are the way to go if you want printed fabric.

Another option is to layer opaque drapery over sheer panels. If a room has other bright accents, use more neutral fabric colors for drapes to maintain the midcentury aesthetic.
