Minimalist design started in the early 1900s with movements like Bauhaus and the “less is more” philosophy. Today, you'll find this style everywhere — from trendy penthouse apartments to sleek offices.

Our talented Interior Views Design Center team likes how this approach removes unnecessary decorative elements. It focuses on clean geometric forms, neutral colors, and carefully curated elements that serve practical and aesthetic purposes.

A low-profile window treatment is integral to achieving minimal decor. Rather than screaming for attention and standing out far from the wall, these coverings effortlessly frame views with clean lines and unobtrusive appeal. The uncluttered profile is elegant as can be, while controlling light and privacy with precision.

First, we’ll explore some completely different styles.

Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades

These artisanal roller shades combine natural woven materials with a modern twist: The woven texture adds subtle depth without going overboard, while the simple rolling mechanism keeps the operation clean. Available in neutral tones, these shades beautifully filter light and create a soft, organic feel that complements minimalist interiors.

P.S. Hunter Douglas also offers Alustra® Woven Textures in Roman shade and solar screen styles.

Different Types of Window Blinds From Hunter Douglas

Another popular option is horizontal and vertical blinds, with cord-free design and right-to-left or up-and-down lines.

• Parkland® Wood Blinds: Crafted from genuine hardwood, these blinds have natural grain patterns and rich paint and stain finishes. The horizontal slats create strong geometric lines that meet minimalist principles, while the wood adds texture.
• EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: Combining the look of real wood with enhanced durability, these blinds deliver minimalist appeal with added practical benefits. The synthetic materials resist moisture and warping and have the same horizontal lines as traditional wood versions.
• Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds: These minimalist window treatments have matte or pearlescent finishes that reflect light beautifully while showing off their ultra-thin profiles. These blinds offer more color options than wood and faux wood, but trust that every tone reflects sophistication and contemporary appeal.
• Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: What a design statement; this style has wide, vertical fabric panels that glide smoothly along tracks, courtesy of interlocking bottom weights. They’re particularly well-suited for floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors.
• Somner® Vertical Blinds: These updated vertical blinds in fabric, vinyl, or aluminum have streamlined hardware that suits modern minimalist environments. We’ll help you select finishes like textured materials that add subtle interest without disrupting your minimalist aesthetic.

Custom Drapery

Yes, we also streamline custom drapery. Tailored fabric panels achieve minimalist goals by carefully selecting materials, colors, and hanging methods. Simple pleating styles, neutral fabrics, and concealed hardware maintain your desired clean lines, and custom measuring and installation promise perfect proportions.
