The Unexpected Benefits of Black Window Treatments

When it comes to home décor, black is a timeless color that adds sophistication and polish to residential style. And while the overuse of black can cause rooms to feel closed off or dreary, the smart use of black can help elevate the space with a modern sense of style. When it comes to black window treatments, homeowners will find surprising benefits when using this bold neutral hue; Hunter Douglas offers incredible contemporary styles, including black drapery, Roman shades, and modern panel-track blinds.

3 Unexpected Benefits of Black Window Treatments

1. Universal Color Compatibility

Black might seem intimidating to work with because it's dark, but truthfully, it's pretty easy because, as a neutral tone, black goes with everything. It's universally compatible, which means it works for interior design styles of all kinds, from anchoring industrial design to rooting rustic, bohemian motifs. It also serves a purpose in every room, offering contrast and balance to color palettes.

2. Room-Darkening Effects

The color black absorbs light. When used in window coverings, the color helps absorb more incoming sunlight than lighter or more reflective colors for better room darkening capabilities. Black window treatments help to keep that Florida sun out for elevated light control, protection against UV rays, and lowered amounts of solar heat inundating your home's interior spaces.

3. Create a Modern Aesthetic

Black is a bold color, and its smart use in modern interior design helps define spaces and give them a polished, sophisticated feel. When used with window treatments, black commands attention, and the color can create eye-catching designs that still adhere to a neutral color palette.

3 Styles of Window Coverings that Look Great in Black

1. Black Drapery

Not only can the dramatic size of drapery hold a bold color like black, but its fabrics can also enhance the hue adding movement and texture through its flowing fabric design. There are many ways that homeowners will see the color black used in custom black drapery by Hunter Douglas, including as a solid hue, accent color, and graphic print and pattern.

2. Black Roman Shades

The sculpted front and rolling stacks of fabric on Roman shades add depth and dimension to color, their creases and crevasses creating a spectrum of nuanced shading patterns in the material itself that showcase the color's range with striking visual acuity. The blackout liner available on select styles of Hunter Douglas Roman shades can embolden the black color and increase the black window treatment's room-darkening effects.

3. Black Track-Panel Blinds

For wall-to-wall windows, broad picture windows, and exterior glass or sliding glass doors, panel-track blinds from Hunter Douglas offer a modern alternative to vertical blinds whose cutting-edge style reflects the fashion-forward feel of black color palettes. Panel track blinds use fabric-wrapped vanes instead of hard vertical vanes and, as such, put their fabric on display with a confident style worthy of a bold hue like black.
