How to Choose the Right Window Coverings for Your Mid-Century Modern Home

1. Keep the Lines Clean and Minimal

Mid-century design favors simplicity — so your window treatments should follow suit. Our roller shades and solar shades are a popular choice for homeowners in Palm Desert and La Quinta, providing sleek, unobtrusive coverage that allows your architecture and views to take center stage.

2. Respect the View — Filter the Light

Mid-century homes often feature large glass panels that blur the line between indoors and out. While these windows are beautiful, they can also flood your space with unwanted heat and UV rays. That’s where solar shades shine. They provide UV protection while preserving your sightlines — perfect for enjoying mountain views in Cathedral City or Indio.

3. Choose Color Palettes That Match the Era

Natural materials and warm tones were a hallmark of 1950s–60s interiors. At Liftime Blinds, we offer a wide range of colors and textures in our faux wood blinds and composite shutters that mirror vintage aesthetics while delivering modern-day performance.

4. Add Architectural Detail with Plantation Shutters

For homeowners who want to highlight structure and symmetry, plantation shutters are an excellent choice. Their tailored look complements mid-century lines and enhances interior architecture — while offering insulation and light control in the high desert heat of Desert Hot Springs.

5. Consider Motorization for Modern Convenience

Mid-century modern is all about blending style with innovation. Our motorized blinds and shades bring tech-forward control into your home — ideal for high, hard-to-reach windows or seamless integration with smart home systems.
