A Modern Take on Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds have been a staple in homes for decades. They are easy to clean, affordable, energy efficient, and can stand the test of time. However, do vertical blinds have a place in the modern home? We say yes, because of the various ways you can design vertical blinds.

There is a reason why vertical blinds are an interior designer’s go-to. Read more to learn why. 

Vertical Blinds Are Versatile

Vertical blinds are one of the most versatile window treatments on the market right now, and are perfect for large, wide windows. They are a fan favorite, especially for modern homes, because of their sleek design and light control. Vertical blinds lend a simplicity that remains timeless.

Gone are the days of dog-hair-catching-fabrics that turn yellow from the sun, or brittle vertical blinds that look more like thin slices of plastic over the window. No, no. Vertical blinds have come a long way. 

There are literally hundreds of different ways you can customize vertical blinds. If fabric isn’t your thing, you can choose a different material like vinyl, with deep embossing on the slats. Or maybe you want a different kind of vane style. Choices from sizes, fabrics, materials, and colors are endless.

We love how functional and different vertical blinds can be. Vertical blinds can have a place in an ultra-traditional home just as much as they can a modern one. For modern homes specifically, we see dark vinyls trending. Fabrics are becoming a thing of the past for modern and minimalistic designed spaces. Since vertical blinds make windows look bigger, they will make the room look bigger too. We love how vertical blinds can flood a room with natural light, bringing life to any space.

Vertical blinds also vary in functionality, making them an excellent fit for all kinds of different interior design themes. A huge trend over the last few years has been pairing vertical blinds with different drapes and curtains. In 2021, we saw many designers utilize neutral-colored vertical blinds as a backdrop to support curtains with patterns or brighter colors.

This uber-popular window treatment isn’t just for windows, either. Vertical blinds are a great solution for privacy and filtering light on glass sliding doors. Since vertical blinds slide on a head rail system, it’s easy to case the sliding mechanism to fit on top of a sliding glass door. The head rail system keeps the slats perfectly in place. Since vertical blinds are long and narrow, they will also make your window or sliding glass door look longer and taller, too. 

Vertical blinds and sliding glass doors are a match made in window treatment heaven.

Vertical Blinds are Affordable

The simplicity of vertical blinds make this type of window dressing very affordable—especially for large, wide windows. You can’t beat the price of vertical blinds for large windows, and you surely can’t find a better price for custom window treatments.

If you are designing your modern home on a budget, trying to dress a large window and want to save money, or want to go full custom on hard-to-reach windows—vertical blinds are a great option for your home. Not only are vertical blinds affordable, but they last for a very long time. If you’re working with an ultra-modern design, going minimal is incredibly easy with vertical blinds.

You’ll find that the cost is minimal, too. 

Our blinds are built to endure strong, direct sunlight and heat, making them perfect for the desert climate. They are also resistant to humidity, which will be the perfect fit for kitchen and bathroom windows, or sliding glass doors attached to laundry rooms. 

“Affordable” does not mean “cheap”. Vertical blinds are built to last the test of time, children, sun exposure, pets, and whatever else life may throw your way.

We take the safety of children and pets very seriously at Budget Blinds of Scottsdale.
