Style Your Space with Durable Window Blinds
One of the top selling features of window blinds is their durability. Our design team at SunGard Window Fashions in Peoria, IL wants to take some time to appreciate the modern and durable blind options and ways homeowers can style and pair with these functional window treatments to create showstopping style with our selection of expanded features and benefits.
Whether you choose horizontal Venetian blinds or sliding vertical blinds, these window treatments can last for years under heavy use, never succumbing to the elements. Made from hard base materials and fortified by quality construction methods, Hunter Douglas blinds result in a long-lasting window treatment for Illinois homes. To complement durable window blinds, consider these options and style tips from our design team.
Styling Durable Venetian Blinds
The first step in styling durable window blinds is selecting the blind itself. Hunter Douglas makes three different types of Venetian blinds, each crafted from a different durable base material: wood, faux-wood composite, and metal.
- Parkland® Wood Blinds: Find classic style with these genuine hardwood blinds available in over 50 finishes including natural wood finishes and solid paint colors.
- EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds: Find extra durability with these faux-wood blinds that have the timeless look of hardwood blinds plus added resistance to UV and moisture.
- Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds: The aluminum slats on Hunter Douglas mini blinds not only have the inherent strength and bounce-back of aluminum metal, but also offer a plethora of customizable style options including color, texture, and slat size to modify treatments to suit individual tastes.
Style Tip: We love to pair the hard materials of durable window blinds with a fabric element to add a touch of softness, movement, and color to the window treatment. Try pairing Venetian blinds with drapery or side panels to achieve textural balance with varying degrees of additional control. Drapery is great for expanding the room darkening abilities of durable window blinds by blocking light leaks around the edges or through the cord holes. And there are thousands of fabric choices for drapes and side panels for personalized style in your new layered window treatment.
Styling Durable Vertical Blinds
Hunter Douglas also makes several models of durable vertical blinds for use on sliding glass doors, patio doors, French doors, and large panes of glass in the home. Like their Venetian counterparts, styling these durable window blinds starts with the selection of the blind model itself.
- Cadence® Vertical Blinds: Uniquely-curved vanes add a level of dimension to these durable window blinds, creating depth in the design for eye-catching style.
- Somner® Vertical Blinds: Enjoy unmatched color and style options with over 170 material choices for this durable vertical blind.
- Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds: Clean lines and simple style are a key element of these durable window blinds, creating a rich neutral backdrop for home décor.
Style Tip: Polish the look of your durable vertical blinds with the addition of a custom valance. Valances elevate the durable window blinds in three ways. First, valances add an additional layer of style as they can be crafted in a wide range of fabrics and colors to complement existing room décor. Second, they hide the top hardware of vertical blinds for a seamless, clean aesthetic. Top treatments help block any light leaks coming out the top of your vertical blinds for heightened room darkening abilities.
