People choose window treatments for a variety of reasons, one of which, is how they’ll make a room look. And while that is important, the role of window treatments is much more than that. Window treatments — the right window treatments — can soften hard edges within a space, provide privacy, insulate against different types of weather, and filter the natural light that enters your home. Still, with all the functional purposes they serve, we tend to circle back around to aesthetics — not of just the window, but the room altogether. The good news is that there is a wide array of window coverings available that aren’t just functional, but beautiful as well. Let’s take a quick look at what’s trending this year in the world of window treatments.
1. Enhanced warmth and comfort
This year, simple, snug materials are front and center. Boucle, corduroy, and brushed fabrics offer subtle texture that’s visually appealing, while velvets, brushed yarns, and chunky knits elevate the level of coziness within the space.
2. Patterned curtains in the kitchen
Like other rooms in the home, kitchens can have privacy issues. One big difference, however, is the grime and odor that can quickly accumulate. The easiest way to help with this is to hang durable, laundry-friendly curtains. To add some personality and style to an otherwise plain space, opt for curtains that sport a pattern like stripes or florals, which are trending this year. Not only will they be nice to look at, but they’ll also be perfect for disguising those occasional splatters.
3. Natural materials
Over the last several years, there’s been an increased desire to bring some of the outdoors in (and, certainly even more so after the last two years of hunkering down more). So, it’s no surprise that window treatments made of natural materials are trending this year. Woven shades and sheers are both going to be very popular choices for very different reasons. Woven shades made of bamboo and natural woods offer a nature-inspired style. Sheers, on the other hand, filter natural light in a way that brings about a softness within the room. Regardless of which you prefer, both will give your home’s interior a beautifully organic look.
4. Simple colors
This year, it’s all about a more narrow color palette. What’s on the horizon this year? Neutral colors, such as beige or cream to soften the decor and environment. Natural colors like green, blue, brown, and purple to bring the beauty of nature closer. Finally, bold hues will be popular as well, specifically statement-making colors that include chocolate tones, peach, and navy blue.
5. Bold Accents
Here we’re talking about a more simplified color palette with statement enriching accents of emerald green, pink, very peri purple, and other jewel tones. Whether done as a bold stripe along the bottom of your drapes or as an additional fabric panel, bold accents are a trend worth looking into.
