New Year, New Window Styles and Phoenix Design Trends

January 11, 2017

The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to update your interior fashion and window treatments with the new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your family room, buying new window treatments or changing out furniture, we have the guide to what’s in vogue this year for home design and window treatment trends in Phoenix.

Dusky Colors & Pastels

Both pastels and dusky colors are seeing more use while clear, bright colors are trending downward. Shades of gray, blue and green are very popular in addition to muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many hues on the palette are evocative of nature from deep blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutrals are still found in the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker tans balancing out the other tones.

Painting some of your walls in a neutral tone and then adding in flashes of color through feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings may be one of the easiest methods to update the color in your home. Then it’s easy to have the latest colors in your interior design today and change the little things out when color schemes switch down the road.

When thinking about new window treatments, choose those in neutral tones like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color stain. These will easily complement any style or color palette and can stay in place when you switch room colors in the future.

Natural Textures

Natural textures will remain popular in 2017. Fibers that are popular include weaved material in rugs or baskets, natural or reclaimed wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures showing up in new places including on headboards, furniture, and pieces of art. You can easily incorporate what you already own and add texture to it such as wrapping a frame in twine or making an interest piece from old wood.

Adding textures to your home through window treatments add another degree of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are made from old, weathered wood that was once part of doors or homes. The wood has unique twists and knots that bring an all-natural feel to any home. Other window treatments that bring texture into your home include Ovation® wood shutters or traditional woven shades.

Metals

Accessories and furnishings that incorporate varying metals are showing up across Phoenix. Gold, nickel, and brass are especially stylish in 2017. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, rustic, and/or older pieces such as bar stools, chairs, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t be afraid to use nickel or pewter in your sinks or hardware for a more modern aesthetic.
