Window treatment trends for 2016

Window treatments are often overlooked in a room’s décor, but a simple change can make a big difference. Many of our customers find that once they’ve invested in window replacement, they want to do something entirely different for the window treatments.

Here are some window treatment trends for 2016 that are giving people a new outlook:

Motorized blinds and curtains add more high-tech to your room. Using a remote control, a smartphone app, or a light switch, you can easily open and close your window treatments.

Shades have evolved into designer styles. Add artistry to your windows with bamboo roller shades imprinted with art, like Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” or Monet’s “Impression Sunrise”.

Eco-friendly materials, like bamboo and matchstick add a natural and organic feeling to a room. Use it in the rods, blinds, or fabric. For the environmentally conscious, consider fabrics with anti-microbial and anti-fungal traits, and non-toxic dyes.

Bold prints and stripes make a strong statement, particularly in a room with mostly neutral furnishings. This year, blue is leading the list of colors for window treatments.

Layering continues to be a popular window treatment trend for 2016. Blending a layer of sheerness to welcome the light with a splash of color for design is a great way to customize the design around your windows.

There’s still a place for luxury surrounding your windows. Fabric with metallic threads represent a growing trend in drapes.
