When it comes to older homes, you might think that you’re limited in terms of options for window treatments. In fact, just the opposite is true. No matter whether your home style is colonial, arts and crafts, mid-century modern, a 1970s split level, contemporary, or something in-between, there’s definitely a window treatment—such as the ones below—to complement it.
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades Fabric: Ainsley Color: Morocco
Sleek and minimalist, roller shades can seamlessly blend into a room’s décor—as well as stand out—making them ideal for any style of older home.
Designer Roller Shades Fabric: Eastbourne Color: French Gray
Designer Roller Shades Fabric: Irving Color: Flamingo
The beauty of roller shades is their versatility; they work well in all rooms and are available in a wide array of solid colors, patterns and textures. Designer Roller Shades, for example, come in over 300 fabrics, globally sourced from around the world. You can even select one fabric for the shade and another for the headrail, as well as opt for decorative top or bottom accents, to complement a room’s aesthetics.
Vignette® Roman Shades Fabric: Leela Color: Escape
A classic window treatment, Roman shades soften the feel of a room and add a more modern spin to an older home. You’ll find different styles based on how the shade’s fabric folds, such as a swag, relaxed fold and soft fold, giving you options for your room’s vibe.
Vignette® Roman Shades Fabric: India Silk Color: Taj
Vignette® Roman Shades Fabric: Idyllic Color: Norri
Elegantly tailored Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available in both full and flat folds, depending on whether you want a more sumptuous window treatment or one that’s more understated. Choose from sheer, light filtering or room darkening opacities, according to how you use the room.
Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds Color: Deco Gray
Like Roman shades, real wood blinds or shutters are classic window treatments. Durable and sturdy, they add warmth to a room with their subtle textures, grain patterns and color variations. They also beautifully complement wood flooring or stained wood trim often found in older homes.
Parkland® Wood Blinds Color: White Sand
Parkland® Wood Blinds Color: Cosmopolitan
If you’d like to bring luxury to a space, consider Parkland® Wood Blinds, which come in over 50 colors. Enjoy light control and privacy by simply tilting the slats, as well as a complete view to the outdoors without lifting the blind.
