Modern Blind Ideas For Your Home
Aug 26 2024
While some people prefer the comfort of traditional styles, it’s more common to find people looking for modern blinds for their homes. This can be driven by our desire for the most up-to-date technology and, in recent trends, a push towards simplicity and clean lines.
But what are modern blinds?
And what are your choices when seeking modern blinds for your home?
That’s what we’re here to help with at Your Blinds Direct. This month, we’ll take you through what’s in style right now, how to freshen up your blinds and give you our top tips on making your home interior more modern.
Which blinds are in style right now?
For blinds that are in style right now, it’s hard to overlook the clean simplicity of roller blinds. Whether it’s a neutral block of colour to add calm to your room or a patterned roller blind to juxtapose your minimalist furniture and walls, there is ample opportunity to create a refined look without a room becoming dull.
While you can’t get vertical blinds that feature a pattern, in solid colours they’ve become a stylish modern option for home offices since the shift in the way many people work. For large windows and patio doors that don’t need a work focus, Allusion blinds provide a soft, contemporary flow to your room as an alternative.
In terms of a material that is popular for modern homes right now, the faux wood of Venetian blinds is sought after. That’s because you get the classical charm of the Venetian style but with a modern material that is both durable and long-lasting.
Of course, part of the puzzle for modern design is colour, so consider these trending colours when choosing your blinds:
- Peach fuzz – This was Pantone’s colour of the year, offering a warm, inviting shade of pink.
- Cobalt blue – For a striking blue colour to offset against clean, white interiors.
- Warm whites – Soften the brightness of white with these warmer tones.
- Taupe – Between brown and grey, this is a versatile colour for almost any home.
How can I make my blinds more attractive?
Aside from our advice on colours and the styles of blinds that are trending right now, there are some other ways you can make your blinds – new or existing – more attractive.
- Give your old blinds a spring clean and replace them if they’re beyond rescuing
- Contrast the colour of your walls with the colour of your blinds for more impact
- Upgrade to smart blinds and control lighting and privacy remotely

How to achieve a modern interior look
Modern blinds are integral to creating your desired aesthetic, but what about wider interior design considerations to complete the look? Here are our three top tips to consider when designing your interior:
Simplicity is key
Modern interiors in both traditional homes and new builds are defined by their simplicity. Clean lines and clutter-free spaces don’t have to be basic, however, since you can add the odd statement piece to bring subtle character to any space, whether that’s in your choice of blinds, a standing lamp or the artwork you hang on the wall.
Use shapes wisely
In modern design, geometric shapes and patterns are the go-to. That’s because they add character while still retaining a sense of order. So whether it’s the pattern on your blinds or the shape of your coffee table, think angular.
Open-plan functionality
Lots of homes opt for open-plan living, especially on the ground floor with connected living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens. But don’t overlook functionality. This approach offers a sense of space and freedom for the modern homeowner, but ensures you have the right blinds and furniture matched throughout. You’ll then have all the control over light and privacy, as well as useful spaces to relax.
