New Year, New Window Styles and Fort Lauderdale Design Trends
The beginning of the new year is a great time to revamp your home design and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your living room, buying new window coverings or changing out furniture, we have tips on what’s hot in 2017 for interior fashion and window treatment trends in Fort Lauderdale.
Duskier Tones & Pastels
Both pastels and dusky hues are seeing more use while clear, vibrant colors are on the wane. Shades of gray, blue and green are especially popular in addition to muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many shades on the spectrum are evocative of nature from deep blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutral colors are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker browns giving balance to other colors.
Painting most of your walls in a neutral shade and then adding in pops of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings is one of the simplest things you can do to add a spark to the color in your home. Then it’s easy to use the latest colors in your home today and swap the accessories out when color trends vary in the future. For more color inspiration, take a look at Behr’s colors trends for 201
When considering new window treatments, choose those in neutral colors such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color stain. These will easily complement any style or color scheme and can stay in place if you swap room colors down the line.
New Trends in Textures
Natural textures will remain popular this year. Fibers that are hot include weaved material in rugs or baskets, knotted wood, and twine. You’ll see these textures showing up in new places like on headboards, furniture, 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 creating artwork out of old wood.
Incorporating texture into your house through window treatments add another degree of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are made from historic, weathered wood that was once part of fences or homes. The wood has unique grains and divots that bring an intrinsic feel to your house. Other window treatments that add texture include Ovation® wood shutters or natural woven shades.
Metals
Accessories and hardware that incorporate different metals are popping up across Fort Lauderdale. Gold, nickel, and brass are especially stylish in 2017. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, homespun, and older pieces such as bar stools, chairs, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t shy away from using nickel or brass in your faucets or cabinetry for a more contemporary look.
Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a fantastic way to bring in some metals and add an industrial or rustic look to your room. Barn doors are built of solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as rollers, sliding tracks, and door handles that are made of different metals.
