Window Treatment Trends for 2016

Window Treatment Trends

Say goodbye to drab window treatments and hello to automation, environmentally friendly designs, and layering – among others. Keep reading to find the window treatment trend that is right for you and your space.

Trend #1: Automation

Tech-filled homes aren’t going away any time soon! And that include motorized window treatments. Thanks to modern technology, homeowners today can remotely control their window treatments, using their smartphone or tablet. Too much or too little light is no longer a problem with today’s advanced window treatment motorization systems. When considering motorization, automated solar shades complement any decor.

Trend #2: Environmentally Friendly Designs

Environmentally friendly is the key to future design. Homeowners are increasingly seeking window treatments that increase energy efficiency, feature low chemical emissions, and are constructed from sustainably sourced materials. Wood blinds can provide homeowners with a home that is both stylish and environmentally friendly.

Trend #3: Layered Treatments

This year, in 2016, you are encouraged to dress your windows in more than one layer to add fullness. Layers increase energy efficiency, privacy and light filtering, while adding a feel of extravagance to your home. Draperies pair especially well with custom blinds and shades. Homeowners are advised to choose colors and textures that complement, rather than deter from one another.

Trend #4: Bottom Up Cellular Shades

Bottom up (top down) cellular shades are in high demand, and not only because they serve the aesthetics of your room, as they also help increase your privacy – without sacrificing natural light. Bottom up cellular shades are among one of the most innovative window treatments on the market, particularly since they allow you the best of both worlds: privacy and natural light.
