New Window Styles and Design Trends for 2017 in San Diego

January 11, 2017

The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to update your interior fashion and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your living room, buying new window treatments or changing out furniture, we have the scoop on what’s fashionable this year for interior design and window treatment trends in San Diego.

Duskier Colors & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier colors are growing in popularity while clear, bright colors are trending downward. Shades of cooler colors like blues and grays are extremely popular as are muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many colors on the spectrum are suggestive of nature from deep blue to “Greenery”, Pantone’s color of the year. Neutral tones are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker browns giving balance to other colors.

The easiest method to add a spark to the color in your home might be to paint most of your walls a neutral color and add in pops of colors through feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings. Then it’s simple to have the latest colors in your home now and change the little things out when color schemes vary after some time.

When considering new window coverings, choose those in neutral colors such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will go beautifully with any style or color palette and won’t need to be changed when you switch room colors down the line.

Textures

Natural textures will remain popular this year. 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 such as on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. Think of how you can incorporate what you already own and add texture to it like wrapping a frame in twine or making an interest piece from old wood.

Adding textures to your design through window treatments add another layer of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed from historic, weathered wood that was once part of doors or homes. The wood has unique twists and knots that bring an intrinsic feel to any house. Other window treatments that bring texture into your home include Ovation® wood shutters or natural woven shades.

Metals

Home designs that incorporate a variety of metals are showing up across San Diego. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially stylish currently. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, rustic, and retro pieces such as stools, benches, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or pewter in your sinks or hardware for a more contemporary look.
