Contemporary Blackout Blinds

Contemporary design focuses on simplicity and clean lines. While contemporary design is often confused with modern design because they share similar characteristics, contemporary design is much more neutral using just a few warm, bright colors as accents. Contemporary rooms focus on texture and warmth to create a space that is warm and inviting: clean but not sterile.

Contemporary Blackout Blinds: The Perfect Choice

Contemporary blackout blinds are a perfect choice for contemporary-styled rooms. The clean lines these blackout blinds make, allow you to continue your design style on the windows. Blackout drapes in contrast, don’t allow you to maintain the clean lines and simple style needed in contemporary design.

What Are Contemporary Blackout Blinds?

Since most designs don’t focus on window treatments, you may be wondering what exactly contemporary blackout blinds are. With blackout blinds, you have two options: routeless blinds and blackout blinds with cloth tapes. The great thing is, both options make perfect contemporary blackout blinds.

Routeless Contemporary Blackout Blinds

Routeless contemporary blackout blinds are a great choice for a subtle window treatment. These blackout blinds don’t have holes drilled into the slats, so light can’t come into the room. Because there aren’t holes in the slats, it gives your window treatment a clean, streamlined look when closed. To keep the contemporary look, you should choose warm stains in a darker shade. If you’re looking for routeless contemporary blackout blinds you may want to consider:

Our Faux Wood Textured & Stained blinds in Cherry or Rosewood. Be sure to choose the routeless option. The 3 ¼ Laguna Valance or the Inside Mount Valance with Returns are great options.
Our Premium 2 inch Basswood Stained Wood Blinds. Get the routeless option in either Cherry, Cordovan, Rosewood, Mahogany, or Auburn.
Our Premium 2 ½ inch Stained Kiri Tree Wood Blinds. Consider getting Cherry, Old Teak, Spring Rose, Red Mahogany, or Dark Mahogany with the routeless ladder option.

Contemporary Blackout Blinds with Cloth Tapes

Contemporary blackout blinds with cloth tapes can make a great statement in any room. While these blackout blinds are often seen as being more traditional or formal, they can add warmth and style to your room easily. We suggest choosing an outside mount that extends at least 6 inches past the window casing on each side and has a contrasting stain and cloth tape color, like in the image shown. This is also a great solution if you have an unsightly window casing and blocks out more light than just routeless blackout blinds. If you choose to go this route, we suggest:

Our Faux Wood Textured & Stained blinds in Cherry or Rosewood with cloth tapes in Natural, Duck White, or Light Beige. The 3 ¼ Laguna Valance keeps the look simple and clean.
Our Premium 2 inch Basswood Stained Wood Blinds in either Cherry, Cordovan, Rosewood, Mahogany, or Auburn. Cloth tape colors that look great with these are Natural or Light Beige.
Our Premium 2 ½ inch Stained Kiri Tree Wood Blinds. Consider getting Cherry, Old Teak, Spring Rose, Red Mahogany, or Dark Mahogany with cloth tapes in Natural, Duck White, or Light Beige.

Contemporary blackout blinds can look great in any room. To make sure you get the look you want, consider ordering samples of the blinds prior to place your order.
