What Are Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds?

Aluminum blinds have come a long way from the flimsy slats many people remember. Rainey's Decorating Center carries a full lineup of Hunter Douglas window coverings, and Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds consistently stand out for their clean look and real-world durability.

A Closer Look at Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

These blinds use resilient aluminum slats that are built to withstand daily wear in active households. Tilting the slats gives you control over light and privacy, and raising them provides an unobstructed view outside.

You can choose from a wide selection of colors and finishes, along with slat sizes of 1/2 inch, 1 inch, or 2 inches to suit the scale of your windows. Decorative tapes and cut-outs for window cranks or door handles round out the customization options for homeowners who want a personal touch. The aluminum construction also resists moisture, which makes these blinds a practical fit for kitchens and bathrooms.

Why These Hunter Douglas Blinds Work in So Many Spaces

Durability makes this line a smart pick for busy rooms where window coverings take a beating. Kitchens, family rooms, kids' bedrooms, and home offices all benefit from slats that hold up over time without looking worn.

The streamlined profile suits modern and transitional interiors, while the range of finishes lets them blend into traditional spaces with ease. Slat size also shapes the overall look: slimmer slats keep things subtle on smaller windows, while wider slats make a stronger statement on large openings.

Specialty shapes expand the possibilities further. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds can fit sidelights around entry doors, bay and corner windows, French doors set side by side, and windows with cranks or handles that require a custom approach.

Control Options for Every Household

The control style you choose shapes how the whole room feels and how easily everyone in the house can use the blinds. Each option suits a different routine, so it helps to think about who uses the room and how often.

PowerView® Automation lets you tilt the slats through an app, a remote, or a smart-home system for hands-free light control.
LiteRise® is a cordless system that lets you raise and lower the blind by pushing up or pulling down on the bottom rail, with a separate wand available for tilting.
SimpleLift™ raises and lowers the blind with a button on the bottom rail and a wand for tilting the slats.
Standard wand tilting offers reliable, hands-on light control at any budget.
