Letting Design Shine In A Small House

Posted on: 28 November 2018

If you want to get a really futuristic look for your home's interior design, the choice of window treatment you opt for can help you significantly. All too often, otherwise very modern interior designs are marred by a traditional window treatment.

There are some things that you will always need any window treatment to do, like provide a degree of privacy for the inhabitants and to regulate the amount of sunlight that streams in, especially if you have north-facing windows. What are the modern-looking window treatments you could install that will be functional and also make your home feel like it really is fit for the twenty-first century?

Cutting-Edge Curtains

Curtains are certainly a tried-and-true type of window treatment. If you are going to have curtains installed which will look like they are suited for the future, then make sure you choose an up-to-date material. Modern, man-made fibres are used in all sorts of interesting ways nowadays for high-performance clothing products. You can certainly have curtains made for you from those sorts of materials.

In fact, a high-tech pair of curtains could be fitted with a motor, too, so that you do not draw them across manually. You may not even need to press a physical button—you should be able to connect your curtains to a wireless device so you can control them from your phone via your home's Wi-Fi.

Visionary Venetians

When it comes to Venetian blinds, you should make sure that you use an ultra-lightweight material. Although wooden slatted blinds are very popular, they are too traditional for a futuristic look. Instead, opt for wide-slatted aluminium Venetian blinds. For a cool look, make use of the silvery finish of the aluminium itself. However, if you want to go a little further, then you should have your aluminium slats finished in a sparkling metallic powder coating. That should last a lifetime and still look like it is from the future a decade from now.

Revolutionary Rollers

Roller blinds also have their place in futuristic interior décor. Like curtains, these can be automated to raise and lower themselves. In some cases, you could even get them to adjust themselves according to the height of the sun during summer. All you need to do is install a photometer outside the window in question to sends a signal inside.
