Window Coverings Trends
The right window covering isn’t just about adding warmth or texture to a space, though 2024 trends have plenty of that.
The right window covering can result in significant energy savings for homeowners, too.
LINEN: THE NATURAL CHOICE
Made from the fibers of the flax plant, linen is a natural fabric choice that is breathable, making it an ideal choice for summer or for warmer climates. It creates a natural, relaxed vibe and often becomes softer with age. Look for earthy neutrals such as taupe or ivory, or opt for bolder tones such as green or terracotta.
SMART HOME TREATMENTS
Window treatments are smart, now, too, and not just in looks. Motorized window treatments can work with your remote, smartphone app or digital assistant to make your blinds go up or down with just your voice or by a schedule so that they adjust to maximize or minimize natural light. They can move with the temperature, lowering if the space gets too warm.
LAYERING
Don’t limit yourself to just one window treatment. Sheer drapery over blackout blinds creates depth and visual texture that gives homeowners options for adjusting their light level throughout the day. Layered treatments, when done correctly, can create a sophisticated look that makes the windows a design focal point.
Patterns and Prints
Window coverings can be artistic, with bold geometric designs, oversized floral prints or abstract textures that turn a windowed wall into an art statement. Look for bespoke blinds and shades in a variety of fabric choices to complement your color palette.
Woven Natural Textures Bring the outside in with woven wood shades made from natural fibers such as bamboo, grass or reeds. In an array of warm and earthy neutral tones, these shades can bring an organic element to your space that invites comfortable, peaceful relaxation.
WOVEN SHADES OVER WOOD BLINDS
Mix up two natural materials for one sophisticated look by layering woven wood shades over wood slat blinds. The blinds offer privacy and light control, while the woven shades give the space a warm, organic look.
