Contemporary Styled Homes

The words contemporary style when used in interior design is hard to define. It could mean the elegant look of a neutral coloured voile fabric loosely draped on a sleek steel curtain track with matching metal holdbacks. On the other hand, it could be a dramatic splash of vibrantly coloured fabric made into a roman blind, with contrasting curtains on a metal pole with sophisticated glass curtain finials. It seems anything goes. You may be sure that the ranges of curtain poles and window blinds from Poles and Blinds include the latest innovative styles and ideas.

Contemporary Curtain Treatments

Curtain treatments in the modern home are often most successful when they are simple, but simplicity need not be boring and bland. One of the most popular window treatments for a contemporary style home is an eyelet curtain with metal rings that co-ordinate with a metal pole.

Another stunning treatment is tab top curtains often with the tabs being made from a contrasting fabric and fitted on to metal or iron curtain poles. The most simple of curtain treatments can often be the most stunning. At Poles and Blinds, we have a range of decorative curtain hooks that simply clip onto your curtains to attach them to one of our many exciting metal curtain poles.

Modern Curtain Poles

The types of curtain poles normally associated with a contemporary style are stainless steel, chrome or metal, brightly coloured wooden or iron poles. Natural coloured curtain fabrics with interesting coloured texture are still the most alluring of contemporary curtain fabrics. Window blinds, even in a modern décor, such as an aluminium Venetian blind, can be used in conjunction with a light weight voile or sheer fabric which has been loosely draped over a modern complimentary coloured curtain pole which will create a softened effect over the severe look of the metal blind.

Contemporary Blinds

With modern technology, the manufacturing capabilities of blending textiles and natural products have enabled blinds to be produced in incredible range of textures and colours.

Blended wooden blinds or wooden slated Venetian blinds create a mellow feel to the room introducing the calming earth colours to your home interiors. Aluminium venetian blinds or vertical blinds give the feeling of cool crisp efficiency.

A plain roller blind or wood blind will look stunning especially when used in a room that has decorative features or large brightly coloured paintings, preventing a conflict of interests, as the décor can become overwhelming if there is more than one focal point in the room. A discreet window dressing brings simplicity to the room.
