A Modern Twist with Elegant Aluminum Blinds
Considering upgrading your new window treatment but aren’t sure where to start? A small way you can make a big change to any space is to change up the textures in your room, whether that’s upgrading from vinyl blinds to wooden blinds, trying a new fabric for your new drapery, or replacing your outdated shades for a contemporary and fresh pattern. Even if you haven’t heard of aluminum window treatments in a while, they’re certainly still popular, and contribute to a space in ways interior designers would agree is meaningful. Metal blinds offer unique textures while still remaining neutral enough to pair well with your existing décor. They allow for flexibility and offer naturally room-darkening qualities thanks to the reflective nature of metal that keeps out unwanted sun. We at Carlos Interiors are loving aluminum blinds right now, and the modern, sleek twist they offer can be just the thing to spice up your new year. This month on the blog, we want to take a closer look at one of our favorite aluminum window treatment products: The Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® collection.
Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds
This premium collection offers an array of design choices in both texture and color. Choose from matte, metallic, and pearlescent finishes with colors ranging from beautiful coppers and silvers to metals with an almost jewel-toned hint of color. This collection features several slat sizes as well as operating systems to select from, giving you enough avenues to create a custom solution for any room in your home. Modern Precious Metals® takes room-darkening to the next level with innovative de-Light™ construction that eliminates cord holes for a smooth closure with no leaking light. Know your blinds are a worthy investment with durability you can count on. Modern Precious Metals® boasts enhanced “bounce back,” thanks to a spring-tempered alloy, that prevents your blinds from cracking, breaking, or falling loose.
These aluminum blinds are stunning on their own, but also contribute to solid design principles, such as the concept of layering to create the illusion of depth. Modern Precious Metals® utilizes mixed media, with metal and wood working together in the Natural Elements collection. Enjoy real wood valences, bottoms rails, and tilt wants that contrast beautifully with the metal sheen. Aluminum blinds also provide the perfect foundation for curtains and side panels. Add a pop of personality with the exclusive Design Studio™ collection created in collaboration with NY designer Rebecca Atwood.
