A TOUCH OF NOIR: REDEFINE INTERIOR LUXURY WITH BLACK WINDOWCOVERINGS
As the calendar turns to a new year, we often embrace fresh starts and bold intentions. In design, there’s no color that embodies this spirit quite like black. It is daring, timeless, and undeniably sophisticated. Black windowcoverings offer a powerful way to make a statement, adding depth and dimension to any interior.
WHY BLACK IS THE NEW BOLD
Black is far more than a color – it is an experience. It creates contrast, grounds a space, and amplifies the beauty of its surroundings. Whether paired with light, neutral tones for balance or layered with bold jewel tones for drama, black windowcoverings make an impactful addition to your next design.
To showcase the transformative power of black, we’ve curated some of our favorite designs that demonstrate how black windowcoverings can shape and define a room. From striking contrasts to subtle sophistication, these interiors reveal the versatility and elegance that black brings to modern spaces.

In Mimi & Hill’s Nevelhaus Project, the LEMH500-87 Gingham–Black shades from the Max Humphrey Collection do more than dress the windows – they anchor the entire design of this sleepover room. The bold black gingham pattern provides a striking visual focal point, tying together the room’s textured layers and cozy upstate charm.
The shades add depth and contrast against the light faux bois wall treatment while echoing the rich black tones of the leather headboards and bedding. This balance of bold pattern and neutral surroundings ensures the space feels cohesive, inviting, and quintessentially Hudson Valley.
