The Latest Trends in Automated Blinds

Over the last decade, automated blind trends have witnessed several leaps in technology and aesthetics. When it comes to homes, apartments and offices looking to embrace minimalism and keep up with what’s modern, automated blinds are clearly the way forward. Somfy’s wide range of solutions for interior and exterior blinds guarantees that we’ve got something to suit every home.

Lightweight and Minimal

The current trend in modern Australian homes is all about clean, uncluttered spaces and minimalist aesthetics. Clean lines and detailed finishes are important, and many homes choose to go with sleek blinds instead of curtains. The aim is to allow natural light in without changing the visual language of the room. Automated blinds play a critical role in setting the tone of a room due to their subtle, low key presence thanks to Somfy’s Sonesse range of silent motors.

New Colours and Shades

Over the years, the dull, overplayed white strip blinds have been replaced with a collection of brilliant colour palettes which covers the entire spectrum. Shades of rose, silver, blue and more provide customers with an endless selection of shades that caters to even the most complex and indescribable aesthetic. When choosing blinds, give yourself the time to look through large collections, just as you would when choosing the paint for your walls.

Unconventional Designs

As trends in interior design and architecture once again embrace bold shapes and stark designs, the extraordinary design potential of blinds makes them a favourite choice of designers worldwide. The traditional rules just don’t apply anymore, so if you are tired of plain colours, vertical or horizontal slats, go with something a bit more unconventional to reflect your unique personality. Recent design trends in blinds include blinds with horizontal waves, multi-textured structures with tasteful fabric elements, or even blinds which are photo printed with a unique pattern or image of your choice.

A Smart Home, Inspired by Nature

The very best interior designers understand that texture plays an important role in setting the tone of a room. Designers have embraced sustainability and are reducing environmental impact by using natural materials like wood, linen, and bamboo. Wood offers a luxurious option for those looking for something on the rustic side. Linen has an immediate calming effect on any room by letting in diffused, soft natural light. Whilst bamboo has become a popular choice for homes looking to add a soft, natural touch to a room.

Smart Solutions for the Modern Home

For those living a fast paced, dynamic lifestyle every free minute is important. By equipping your home with blinds that are compatible with sensors, smartphones, and voice control, you can transform the way in which your window shades work to make your life easier.
