Linear Shades From Hunter Douglas

Everything we put into our home affects its overall style. Even items we may select primarily for their functionality, like window treatments, will affect the look and feel of a room, adding to the home's overall design aesthetic. For homeowners with a modern interior design looking for robust linear features, new window treatments like banded shades, shutters, roller shades, sheer shadings, or blinds can add bold lines and light control. And in the Hunter Douglas collection, there are seemingly endless customization options to make these linear shades your own.

5 Styles of Modern Linear Shades

1. Banded Solar Shades

Light-loving banded shades use an innovative roller design to manipulate alternating bands of opaque textiles and translucent screen materials to create an eye-catching linear style. The roller base also makes banded shades ideal for large windows, and their view-through attributes keep an open and airy feel in any room while still providing light control and privacy.

2. Plantation Shutters

A classic style of window treatment with hard lines and rigid louvers that have added linear detailing to rooms for hundreds of years. The strong lines of plantation-style shutters not only give the treatment its unmistakable look but are also at the heart of the many powerful features found in this style of linear shade, including the ability to balance precise light control and natural air flow and privacy simultaneously.

3. Roller Shades

Linear print and patterns on fabric work great when brought to life through roller shades. Their flat front presents the linear design without fold or distortion, so they are especially ideal for strong linear or geographic patterns. Homeowners considering Design Studio™ Roller Shades can select their linear shades from hundreds of fabric samples, including Rebecca Atwood and Seema Krish's designer lines. Field, Garden Stripe, and Dotted Stripe by Atwood, as well as Intersection, Straits, and Waves by Krish, all have strong linear designs but are interpreted through the decidedly unique aesthetic perspective of each artist.

4. Sheer Shadings

A softer interpretation of linear shades, sheer shadings utilize the diaphanous grace of sheer materials as the base for their modern style. Added to the sheer panels are opaque fabric vanes (available in several colors) that act like the louvers on shutters, tilting to control light and provide privacy as needed. The sheer materials soften the look of linear shades and filter sunlight for warm interior illumination.

5. Blinds

Made from genuine wood, advanced manufactured composites, or ultra-durable metals, blinds are a versatile linear treatment that can stand up to even heavy use. Slats on blinds provide the linear look and the ability to control light in numerous ways, from blocking it completely to opening up and letting the sunlight flow in. This gives homeowners the agility to adjust their linear shades to best suit their daily and often changing needs.
