# How to Make Plain Black Curtains Look High-Tech
When you think of high-tech décor, visualize clean lines and industrial colors. Black curtains offer a good starting point for a high-tech look. Add weight and texture for the stark simplicity of technology. Hang black curtains from a rod that adds to a high-tech aesthetic. Create a layered industrial effect with coordinating window blinds. Use a high-contrast and basic color palette of black, white and silver.
