Do you love staying on top of interior design? Are you curious about the top trends in window treatments? We’ve got the details for you, including what’s hot, frequent questions and style inspo to help you create the home of your dreams!
#1 A Chart Topper for Trends in Window Treatments
Layers, layers and more layers! This year, we are seeing luxurious fabrics making a dramatic statement. This isn’t just one of the trends in window treatments. This goes for bedrooms, living rooms and family rooms. But, at the window, it creates a wall feature as soon as you enter the room.
Start with the base shades or blinds–this will give you ample function and control. Then, add draperies to frame the window and enhance the height of your ceiling. It’s a beautiful look, and it will coordinate the entire space.
#2 A Favorite for Northeastern Ohio Homes
So, this part of the country tends to experience a wide range of temperatures. The summers are gorgeous; the winters can be way colder than we’d like, maybe due to the wind and lake effect weather. How can window coverings help?
Choose features that customize the atmosphere of your home. One of our favorites is Top Down Bottom Up. This feature allows you to capture natural light, illuminating your ceiling for glowing light throughout the room. But, these shades can protect the interior of your home from outside temps. In winter, the drafts are kept at bay. In the summer, you won’t melt from the hot afternoon sun. All the while, you’ll still enjoy beautiful light.
#3 The Latest “Must Have” in Window Shades
Without a doubt, Smart Shades are the latest favorite for trends in window treatments. It’s the simplicity it adds to your life that’s winning people over. Your shades are always in the right position. With smart home integration, there’s no new technology to learn–you use the system you love, and these shades will fall in line. Remote control, app control, voice control, smart home control–you decide.
Want to sleep in on Saturdays? The room darkening shades stay closed. Trying to keep energy costs down? The shades adjust open in the morning to warm up the house, but close by lunchtime to keep it from getting too warm. Looking to add an extra level of protection when you’re out of town? Your automated shades adjust on a schedule. And, you can continue to make adjustments to them from the app–even when you’re miles away.
#4 The Question We Hear the MOST…
“Do the window treatments throughout our home need to match?”
Nope.
Think of the window coverings in your home similar to how you would think about furniture and accessories. You don’t choose the same exact pieces to go in every room–normally. It can be the same with window dressing. Creating your home design is really more about a cohesive look.
That’s really important when it comes to individual spaces because then you are free to choose the function that each space needs. You can mix window treatments that share style, but vary slightly in color, texture and operation to fit your needs.
#5 Expect More
If there’s anything we’ve learned from staying home (more than ever) in the past two years, is that the rooms in our homes really need to be multi-purpose. Your dining room might be a remote office space during the day, a meal time spot in the evening, but game night friendly on the weekends. Atmosphere is key to achieving this.
As we look at the latest trends in window treatments, this certainly is true. Instead of just an “on/off” switch for light control and privacy, homeowners are interested in adjustable levels of lighting, privacy and view. We’re seeing massive interest in Dual Shades and other systems that allow you to completely change the atmosphere or function of a room with the same shades.
