The art of fashion creates a movement in design, influencing style. Understatement is back in fashion!
The modern style of minimalism has created a wave of interest within the stores and has now created impact within the homes interior. Minimalist design is essentially stripped down to the most fundamental of features with simple silhouettes, unfussy clean lines, neutral with a monochromatic palette. To effectively create drama with contemporary drapery requires a succinct sense of proportion and confidence with knowing how fabrics will fall and move.
Modern minimalist drapery design explores the fundamentals of space, light and materials while avoiding stylistic mannerisms; incorporating bold geometric forms along with polished finishes and asymmetrical balance. Texture is also important when creating warmth and comfort in contemporary minimalist drapery design by integrating the subtle or varied textures and the introduction of natural fibers, such as linen, cotton, wood, or silk.
A perfect complement to the contemporary style – Hunter Douglas introduces Design Studio, a collection of fabulous woven fabrics with blends of cottons, linens, and silks from around the world. Design Studio fabrics are woven in widths that allow shades to be made up to 96 inches wide without being interrupted by seams. The Design Studio Roman Shades, which feature high-quality construction, are offered in four distinct shade styles: Batten Front, Batten Back, Hobble and Flat.
Other exceptional modern shade options are the Hunter Douglas Provenance Woven Wood Shades, Vignettes, the Designer Roller Shades, Designer Screen Shades, and Skyline. For further product information, visit www.HunterDouglas.com.
Fabricut features a fabulous Signature Series open-weave linen burlap featuring warm colors and exceptional texture.
