Bold Window Treatments with Linear Patterns

Be bold with linear patterns in your interior design. In addition to creating a striking visual element, lines can make indoor rooms feel larger by elongating or widening spaces playing upon the optical illusion created by well-paced linear patterns. Therefore, utilizing linear design cannot only add a noteworthy visual element to décor, but it can also be a useful tool to help open up smaller rooms and spaces. Hunter Douglas makes several styles of window treatments with linear patterns that have differing yet no less stunning visual styles.

HORIZONTAL LINEAR PATTERNS

Horizontal lines on the wall can give the feeling of wider rooms by visually expanding the flat wall space for an elongated appearance. Using window treatments with linear patterns that run horizontally is one way to add linear design to a room in a controlled and useful manner. From the many styles of Hunter Douglas window treatments with horizontal linear patterns, our favorites include:

• Silhouette® Window Shadings: This style of sheer shade is constructed from front and back sheers with s-shaped bands of opaque fabric attached in between as maneuverable vanes. The translucent fabrics set against the opaque vanes create the window treatment’s signature soft, horizontal lines and view-through linear pattern.
• Designer Banded Shades: Roller shades, like Designer Banded Shades, offer not only sleek linear design, but they’ve also got a streamlined profile and straightforward operation that make them some of the chicest and easiest to use window treatments with linear patterns.
• Heritance® Hardwood Shutters: The horizontal lines of plantation shutters like Heritance® Hardwood Shutters bestow the air of authority and design precision to décor with the clean lines of their hardwood slats, which are also responsible for the linear effect of this style of window treatment.

VERTICAL LINEAR PATTERNS

While horizontal lines can make rooms feel wider, vertical lines can make spaces feel taller. When utilizing floor-length window treatments, vertical lines can also be a bridge to pull design features or colors from the floor up into the rest of the room; thus, creating a more cohesive look that will emphasize those special design elements. Our favorite window treatments with linear patterns that run vertically from floor to ceiling in a room include:

• Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds: Using the lines of vertical blinds but the textures of fabric-rich drapery, Cadence® Soft Vertical Blinds brings subtle vertical patterning to windows treatments with a variety of color options to suit any décor.
• Luminette® Privacy Sheers: Like Silhouette® Window Shadings, Luminette® Privacy Sheers utilize sheer fabrics and opaque vanes to create a flowing linear pattern. Only with Luminette® Privacy Sheers, the vanes are hung vertically rather than horizontally, though both sheer shades create eye-catching and enlarging window treatments with linear patterns.
• Rebecca Atwood Design Studio™ Fabric Collection: For design, versatility considers the multiple applications of linear patterns in the Rebecca Atwood collection of fabrics for Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ products. Atwood’s prints Garden Stripe and Dotted Stripe put a modern, organic twist on vertical lines and are available for Roman shades, roller shades, and drapery.
