We all have our own tastes and preferences. Some people are strict traditionalists and love the look of fabrics and materials they associate with their ancestors’ homes. On the other hand, others fully live the idea of out with the old and in with the new and constantly mix our styles with modern trends. However, for many of us, we prefer a mix of both. While modern styles and trends are essential to who we are today, we often have nostalgia and connections to traditional styles as well. When you are choosing window treatments for your home, it might seem difficult to balance the two. With Alta Blinds from Harmony Blinds and Shutters, you can enjoy the traditional look and feel of wood blinds with a modern twist and style.
Blinds are a popular window treatment choice because of the flexibility they offer. If you want to maximize light, you can raise the blinds; if you want to maximize privacy, you can lower the blinds. But if you want to let a little light in while still maintaining some privacy, you can simply adjust the slats while your blinds are lowered. This will help obstruct the view into your home while you enjoy the soft glow of the sunlight peeking through.
When you’re choosing your blinds, you might be drawn to the look and feel of wood blinds. Wooden textures and materials help create a warm, welcoming feeling in a space. Thanks to modern technology and construction, you can even enjoy the richness of wood with alternative materials that offer extra durability. However, you might associate an obvious wood finish with more traditional styles. For example, an oak finish might have been popular with your older family members. For strict traditionalists, that might meet your needs perfectly. On the other hand, for those that prefer modern styles, it may not fit the look of your interior design.
With blinds from Alta, you can choose from a variety of finishes, stains and colors. If you want to showcase the natural wood, or the appearance of natural wood, a stain with a smooth finish might be your preferred option, and you can choose from 18 swatches, including oak, mahogany, pine, and walnut. These wood options with varying color tones can provide a hint of traditionalism for any interior. For those looking for more modern options while still showcasing the wooden texture, finishes such as dark mocha and storm cloud provide a contrast to what you might be used to.
For those who lean toward modern styles, you can choose from different paint colors instead of stains. If you prefer subtle, clean looks, you can choose from whites, off-whites, beiges, and grays. However, if you want to make a bold statement, you could choose a bright, energetic shade of red. For a modern, beachy look and texture, wire brushed finishes are also available with a choice of six swatches including boardwalk, driftwood, and sand dollar.
Whether you’re a traditionalist or a modernist, Harmony Blinds and Shutters has a style for you. Located in San Diego, California, we serve the surrounding area including El Cajon, Coronado, and Chula Vista.
