Modern Roller Shades

Roller shades are exactly what you think they are: shades that roll up to give you access to the view outside the window. Unlike solar shades for windows, roller shades come in one piece that lets no light inside.

Usually featuring a handy mechanism that allows quick lowering and raising, they're easy to operate. They're also very versatile, so you can use modern roller shades for sliding glass doors or windows alike. There are plenty of other benefits, like easy maintenance, durability, and energy efficiency, especially with blackout roller blinds. 

But perhaps there's another aspect you're more concerned with – their appearance.

Roller shades are already a modern solution for your living room or office. They have a clean, minimalist design that fits the aesthetics of any environment. However, there are ways to improve their appearance even further.

One way to achieve more modern roller shades is by mounting them inside the window box. That works even better if there's a wall cavity where you can hide the mechanism, or a blinds gap integrated into the ceiling that completely secures the blinds.

Roller shades can be customized in different colors, degrees of transparency, and patterns. Choose darker tones for a classier look. To add a touch of softness, you can layer your window treatments and put sheer panels closer to your glass while having roller shades on top.

The last tip is to choose waterfall roller shades. Reminiscing an actual waterfall, this type of shade bunches up in soft folds when you open them. That adds elegance to your modern roller shades and the room's overall visual.

FAQs

How to hide roller shades with a modern touch?

A clever but effortless way to hide the mechanism of the roller shades is to add a valance and match its color to the color of the shades. 

How to make roller shades look modern clean inside window install?

Mounting your roller blinds inside rather than outside is an excellent way to give your room a cleaner and more modern look. You just need to ensure that there's enough space and that no window handles or other elements will interfere with the shades as they go up and down.

How to hide roller shades with a modern design?

You can hide your roller shades with pelmets, aluminum fascia, and ceiling pockets. Pelmets are usually decorative panels placed over the mechanism to conceal it. Aluminum fascia works in a similar way, but it's generally thicker. As the name suggests, ceiling pockets are narrow openings in the ceiling that completely hide your shades from sight.
