Why White?

Ever wondered why white seems to pervade all aesthetics and styles? Modern designers will tell you it's because this neutral hue is utterly versatile with a simple grace that is perfect for décor styles of all kinds.

White works harmoniously with a rainbow of other colors, including other neutral tones like the classic pairing of black and white. It rounds out color schemes in home décor, and even if white is not a primary color, it should appear (even on a small scale) as an accent in every room. White can also be a strategic tool to use in smaller rooms or spaces, as white is a reflective color and will brighten rooms to make the space feel larger.

Sophisticated White Window Coverings

In the Hunter Douglas portfolio of products, you'll find numerous options for modern white window coverings. In fact, there are so many different types of white window coverings, from plantation shutters to ethereal sheer shadings, that you'll be easily able to find a treatment that marries your preference for color and style.

  • White Shutters: White's clean, fresh feel plays perfectly on the rigid, hard lines of plantation-style interior shutters. Opt for shutters with larger louvers for a modern feel and man-made materials that are easy to keep clean.
  • White Sheer Shadings: White and sheer together create shades with a soft, ethereal feel. But don't let the diaphanous look of sheer shadings fool you, the delicate style hides an army of features for precise light control and unmatched privacy.
  • White Roman Shades: When styling white Roman shades, shop around for white fabrics with white patterns. Monochromatic prints come alive in the sculpted folds of Roman Shades, so don't be afraid to experiment with bold prints or large-scale patterns.

Warnings for White Window Coverings

While white can be an uplifting and refreshing color, there are also dangers associated with such a bold neutral.

First, too much white can feel clinical and cold, especially if your lighting pattern is cooler. Combat the sanitized feel of white by using warm lights and hues in juxtaposition.

The second issue is that homeowners with white window coverings will need to dust more often; the bright neutral will show everything. So with white window coverings, it is important to stay up on routine cleaning, and if there is an option, choose easy-to-clean fabrics and finishes.
