Our Favourite Retro Window Coverings
Curtains
While indoor curtains have never truly gone out of style, trends in fabric have certainly changed over the years. Lace curtains have been making a comeback recently, with their beautiful patterning also doubling as an effective way to soften sunlight. These retro window treatments were popular in the early 1900s, but their eternal beauty remains as they add a touch of royalty and vintage to any home.
Timber Shutters
For as long as people have been using window coverings, they have been using wood to create them. Timber plantation shutters provide rustic charm while still being highly durable and flexible. These retro window shades are great for preventing sunlight from flooding the room while also providing plenty of privacy from prying eyes and nosy neighbours. Any home will be elevated thanks to these retro window treatments.
Venetian Blinds
Whether it is aluminium Venetians, timber Venetians, or polymer Venetian blinds, these retro window coverings are the perfect blend of style and functionality. Having been used since the 18th century, they have remained a popular choice in the centuries since as they provide premium light and privacy control. The fact that they are available in a range of materials makes it easy to make your coverings as retro or rustic as you desire.
Roman Blinds
Those seeking an old-world charm that will stand the test of time should look no further than Roman blinds. Used since the time of ancient Romans, these retro window shades are perfect for controlling the temperature in your home to make it as warm or cool as you like it. Custom Roman blinds are available in several styles and fabrics, whether you are seeking coverings that are flat, hobbled, or anything in between.
Roller Blinds
With their origins dating back to the 17th century, roller blinds may go beyond just being retro, but they have remained a popular choice in every decade. These retro window shades have benefited from countless innovations since their original use, even offering motorisation options now. Custom roller blinds are also available, allowing you to pair any fabric with your desired pattern or style to create your ideal vintage look.
