Farmhouse interior design got its start in actual farmhouses built for farmers who worked there. Today, the farmhouse design is comforting and full of character. It embraces simplicity and natural materials. The right farmhouse window treatments are essential to create this type of interior design style.
At White House Designs for Life, we have several high-quality Hunter Douglas options that blend seamlessly with style.
What Is Farmhouse Style?
Farmhouse style includes two types of interior design routes: traditional and modern. Traditional or classic farmhouses have a rustic, country style. Typically, they incorporate plaid patterns and opt for vintage furniture pieces. The color palette can include shades like green, burgundy, and blue.
Then, there’s the modern farmhouse style, which allows a designer to incorporate more contemporary pieces into the space. This style has more clean, crisp lines, neutral color palettes, and modern finishes like polished stones or woven fabrics.
The Natural Appeal of Light-Blocking Linen Curtains
Linen is a lightweight fabric with a subtle texture that fits perfectly into farmhouse design. It lets a lot of natural light pass through, which is suitable for certain occasions but not others, like sleeping or watching a movie. A blackout liner adds weight to linen curtains, causing them to drape more evenly and providing light control and insulation.
Light-blocking linen curtains or other window shades are excellent for farmhouse-styled living rooms and bedrooms.
Classic Farmhouse Window Treatments
There are several Hunter Douglas window treatments you can choose to pair with your home’s farmhouse style, including:
Shutters
NewStyle® Composite Shutters look like genuine hardwood and are available in shades of white and off-white, which beautifully complement a farmhouse kitchen or living room. The narrow louvers have the traditional appeal popular in farmhouse design and a front tilt bar option that perfectly captures the simplicity of the aesthetic.
These hybrid shutters are fantastic for busy households and sunny spaces because they resist warping and fading due to their Truemill® dovetail construction.
Roman Shades
Flat-fold Roman shades have an uncomplicated design that looks fantastic in any space, including modern farmhouse dining rooms and bedrooms. Vignette® Roman Shades combines this design with a modern operating system that eliminates visible rear cords.
The stacking style offers the most classic appearance, but the rolling style is great for small windows or spaces where you prefer clean lines.
Woven Wood Shades
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades act like Roman shades, featuring globally sourced natural materials, such as natural bamboo and French linen, to create a refined alternative to traditional fabrics. You can choose from three opacities, like sheer and semi-sheer, and add an independent liner for versatility.
These timeless shades work great in traditional and modern interior design, like farmhouse style.
Adding Automation to Your Farmhouse Window Treatments
Vignette® Roman Shades and Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades are compatible with PowerView® Automation. PowerView® Automation is the award-winning motorized solution from Hunter Douglas that allows you to open and close your window treatments with a remote, app, or voice command.
