Olive Avenue Project: Custom Blinds & Draperies for a Sleek Modern Home | MIFU Decor

Project Overview

The Olive Avenue Project involved outfitting a newly constructed house with tailored window coverings. The homeowner and designer (Mad Design Interiors) chose a full suite of custom blinds and draperies to match the contemporary design language and clean lines of the home. 

Design Goals & Approach

  • Harmonize with Architecture
    The goal was to have window treatments that feel like a built-in part of the design, not an add-on. The blinds and draperies were selected to echo the home’s sleek surfaces and minimal detailing. 
  • Functional Elegance
    The treatments must provide effective light management, privacy, and aesthetic presence without overwhelming the interior. Draperies soften the space; blinds bring clean lines and control.
  • Cohesive Palette & Flow
    Fabric and blind finishes were chosen to blend with wall tones, trim, and furnishings so that treatments enhance — rather than compete with — the overall interior look.

Benefits for the Home

  • Versatile Light Control: Depending on room use and time of day, the homeowner can balance light and shade elegantly.
  • Visual Integration: The custom treatments feel integrated into the design, adding to the high-end, tailor-made feel.
  • Refined Ambience: Draperies add softness; blinds add order — together they elevate the interior environment.
