Black and White Window Treatments
Black and white is a color combination as old as the phrase color combination. It’s timeless, elegant, and making a huge come back in modern interior design. That’s because black and white can work in almost any interior design style; in fact, they’re needed to make most rooms feel polished and complete. Currently, we see black and white being used in multiple areas of the home and in multiple different ways. So, it’s no surprise that we also see black and white window treatments growing in popularity as modern designers are taking this classis color combination and bringing it into the 21st century with contemporary spins on classic designs. Read on to explore the many ways black and white can be used in window treatments for your home.
The first way to incorporate black and white window treatments is to use a textile centric window covering (like Roman or wooden shades) with a black and white print or pattern. To keep prints feeling contemporary consider fabrics with bold geometric designs; since the color scheme is simple (just black and white) there is an increased opportunity to use more elaborate designs without making the shade feel busy or overworked. Vignette® Modern Roman Shades are available in hundreds of black and white fabrics in sheer, light-filtering, and room-darkening opacities. On the other end of the spectrum, for modern designs focused on simplicity and using natural elements to create feelings of relaxation and intimacy consider a shade that uses more natural fibers, which are still in the black and white color palette. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades use a material that has a textural weave and marries the raw colors of black and white in a more rustic way.
The next trend in black and white window treatments is black windows with white drapery. Black windows are simple yet powerful. They naturally draw the eye to the window, which helps rooms feel more spacious; and they are bold yet neutral, so they can stand alone or be paired with other window treatments. For example, pairing white drapery with black windows creates a stunning black and white window treatment with the added features of privacy and light control. The Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery suite of products allows homeowners to create their own customized drapery choosing the style of curtain, length of material, and of course the fabric itself. Hunter Douglas drapery is also available with light-filtering or blackout liners, so white drapery can be every bit as room-darkening as treatments in darker colors.
Black and white window treatments can also combine two types of window coverings. For example, white plantation shutters paired with black side panels. Of the three types of Hunter Doulgas Plantation Shutters - Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, and NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters - all are available in shades of white. As the primary window treatment white plantations shutters have a clean and airy feel. That feeling can be played with for interior design purposes by adding side panels that contrast or compliment it. Solid black side panels would contrast the white plantation shutters in a bold way suitable for modern, minimalistic, or monochromatic designs. Side panels with a black and white print, on the other hand, would complement the white shutters by continuing the color, and so we’d see this type of complimentary paring in modern design that is more eclectic or bohemian in nature.
