Minimalist Window Treatments for Scandinavian Decor
Sometimes less is more, and no one knows that more quite like the modern minimalist. A clean, clutter-free space can feel warm and inviting, while evoking a sense of calm and simplicity. With each piece chosen to seamlessly fit within your lifestyle—including your window treatments—minimalist design styles like Scandinavian décor are trending big in 2023.

At Blind Spot Blinds & Shutters in Rocklin and Folsom, CA, our team makes it easy for you to find Hunter Douglas window treatments that integrate into your interior design style perfectly. Here, we’ll discuss more about the trend of Scandinavian-inspired design and which minimalist window treatments work best.
What Is Scandinavian-Inspired Design?
A breakout style of the 20th century, Scandinavian interior design stands out with less. This warm but austere style focuses on intention, not ornate decoration, ensuring each carefully placed element serves a purpose. For instance, furnishings may include a storage ottoman or coffee table with shelving, combining comfort and functionality. Other cornerstones of Scandinavian interior design include:
- Clean lines: From the furniture to the lighting, crisp lines and smooth, simple curves create a sleek, uncluttered look.
- Neutral colors: The understated color palette makes space for touches of contrast here and there, especially earth tones.
- Natural light: Finding ways to accentuate sunlight lets you play up the neutral palette and give the space an airy, relaxed ambiance.
- Natural materials: Quality crafted wooden furniture and shelving warm up the space.
- Textural touches: Textured throws, rugs, and accents add character.
But how do your window treatments fit into this signature look? Whether you’re looking for custom shutters, shades, or blinds, modern minimalism is everywhere if you know where to look.
Hunter Douglas Minimalist Window Treatments
Window treatments can certainly pull a look together as the focal point of the entire room. But when it comes to Scandinavian decor, we know that the right window treatment can make all the difference. Hunter Douglas provides an array of cordless window coverings that coordinate with this decorating style. Here are some ideas for your space:
Interior Window Shutters
Nothing speaks more to minimalism quite like the clean lins of interior shutters. Designed to fit windows and doors, custom shutters make it easy to maximize natural light with SoftClose™ louvers and their QuickAlign™ feature. Even better, Hunter Douglas shutters boast greater longevity than the average window covering and can even increase the value of your home.
Woven Wood Shades
Made with reeds, grasses, and bamboo, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades by Hunter Douglas appeal to the minimalist aesthetic. They’re sleek, simple, and offer smooth top-down/bottom-up operation. Plus, they come in neutral colors and lush textures perfect for this signature style.
Roller Shades
Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Roller Shades feature a pleated design, creating gentle curves that add a hint of style while softly diffusing natural light. With semi-opaque cellular fabric, you can bask in the glow without the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. Plus, these shades are an energy efficient option, perfect for those looking to insulate their space in style.
Sheer Shades
Sheers and shadings provide privacy without sacrificing natural light. From Pirouette® Sheer Shades to Luminette® Sheer Panels, it’s easy to find light-diffusing window treatments on the subtle side from Hunter Douglas.
Multifunctional, Eco-Conscious Design
Your window treatments aren’t just for light control and privacy. Just like the storage ottoman in your Scandinavian-inspired living room, Hunter Douglas window treatments bring a little something more. Shopping window treatments by function helps you get the most out of this design element, whether you’re looking for features like energy efficiency, light enhancement, sound absorption, or all of the above.
Smart Technology
As smart control has become more popular in recent years, brands are finding innovative ways to maximize technology without intrusion. PowerView® Automation lets your blinds move on your schedule, making it easier than ever to optimize lighting and privacy levels in your space.
Plus, it's easy to find a place for the sleek control options and accessories, even in a room that’s carefully curated for the modern minimalist. And with cordless shade designs, there’s even less clutter around your windows.
