Designer Roller Screen Shades

Some style trends come and go while others stand the test of time. You’ve probably heard of a few styles, like contemporary, modern, and classic. And then there’s minimalist, which has been around for decades but has trended lately. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we carry window fashions that will complement nearly any style beautifully. If you’re thinking about using a minimalist approach in your home, read on for tips on how to achieve it.

Intentionality Is Key

Renowned architect and interior designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe coined the phrase “less is more,” which is a general philosophy of minimalism. And these days, it’s also about sustainability. The main drive is to intentionally pare down the things. It isn’t about having nothing but rather about having only what you need—you keep the things that are the most functional for your needs, including smart storage, for example, and let go of the things you don’t, such as an end table you realize you never use.

Minimalism Characteristics

Minimalist spaces have clean lines, neutral base colors with stark contrasts, simple shapes, no excessive furniture or décor, an open floor plan, and natural light. The emphasis is on what’s needed versus what is fluff. It’s about being uncluttered, purposeful, peaceful, and calming.

Ways to Create a Minimalist Space

First, declutter. Keep only your most beloved pieces of décor and art and remove all else. If an element or piece of furniture isn’t something you truly need or enjoy, let it go. If you intend to bring something new into the space, stick to elements that are timeless and simple. And always remember to make it comfortable for you.

Window Coverings for Minimalist Style

Good complementary window fashions for minimalist style have clean lines, useful functionality, and simplicity. Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are an excellent option. They offer smooth, flawless operation and come in over 350 color and fabric choice. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are designed with no exposed rear cords for a clutter-free look at the window. Silhouette® Sheer Shades also work well for minimalism, with their simple lines and sheer fabric that beautifully filters natural light.
