Another modern invention, shades are a great addition to contemporary and minimalistic interior designs. They have the duel effect of coming in both sheer and opaque settings all in one, which is a huge bonus if you like to sleep in the dark, but like some filtered sunlight when you’re up and about. Shades come in many fabrics and patterns, so you can select which one suits your interior design style and buy accordingly.

Curtains may not be used so often these days, but they will never go out of style. Even today, many people prefer to use the conventional curtain window coverings instead of the modern ones. The best part about curtains is that you can select fabrics that match and contrast with your interior design color scheme.
5. Louver curtains

While conventional curtains are a great way to beautify your windows, you can still take it up a notch by using the modern ‘louvered’ curtains. These curtains bunch up like vertical louvers but straighten out like a fabric when covering the windows. They are slightly different from the usual curtains and are easy to hang up. They are also more durable and would look awesome with your standard issue windows.
