Interior decorators rave about farmhouse design for many reasons, including a focus on coziness that adapts easily over time. Farmhouse window treatments are key features of this look, and custom solutions work best, especially from quality brands like Hunter Douglas.
But let’s step back for a minute. Learning the key elements of farmhouse decor before the shopping commences makes sense, and our talented Window Magic Blinds & Drapery design team is here to help guide you.
Farmhouse interior design blends the old with the new by mixing rustic elements with contemporary pieces. Its heart lies in natural materials like wood, metal, and stone. Exposed beams, reclaimed wood furniture, gray blinds, and vintage accents are staples of the style. A farmhouse color palette is typically light, with whites, creams, and soft grays. Add darker, earthy textures for contrast, such as:
Simplicity is the overall arching theme of farmhouse design. While you can add decorative items, everything should have purpose and a sense of balance.
Farmhouse window treatments serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. First, they must let in plenty of natural light and offer privacy. The design should add softness to the space without overwhelming it, which is why we suggest lighter fabrics for a relaxed, airy vibe.
Here are four styles that fit in with this décor scheme:
Genuine wood horizontal blinds lend authenticity to farmhouse decor. Hunter Douglas customizes Parkland® Wood Blinds in different colors and paint/stain finishes, including grays.
If you’re concerned about heat and moisture, Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are a stylish, durable alternative to real wood blinds. We recommend them for kitchens and bathrooms, and you can select from a range of neutral hues, like gray blinds.
Hunter Douglas roller shades for sliding glass doors work beautifully in farmhouse homes. With a clean aesthetic and easy operation, these shades are purposeful and practical.
You can choose from different opacities, depending on how much light you want to let in or block. For those who want Roman shades for other windows, you can customize them for many sizes.
Vignette® Roman Shades are sophisticated farmhouse window treatments that accommodate various window sizes and French doors. They’re available in two different fold styles: soft and full or crisp and flat.
Hunter Douglas also offers French door Roman shades in luxurious sheer, light-filtering, and room-darkening opacities. Choose from many fabric options, including natural weaves that look great in your home office.
If you’re looking for a radiant glow to enhance your farmhouse decor, Silhouette® Sheer Shades create that effect. They have soft, adjustable S-shaped vanes sandwiched between two sheer fabrics.
The sheer shading reduces glare and UV rays while protecting privacy.
Everyone’s take on farmhouse decor differs, and our friendly team of talented window treatment designers can’t wait to personalize your selections. In addition to our four choices, we can show you other farmhouse window treatments like shutters and honeycomb shades. With our guidance, you’ll have a cohesive farmhouse look that you’ll love.
