New Window Styles and Home Trends for 2017 in Riverside

January 11, 2017

The beginning of the new year is an ideal time to update your home design and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your family room, buying new window coverings or changing out furnishings, we have tips on what’s hot this year for interior design and window treatment trends in Riverside.

Duskier Tones & Pastels

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

Painting most of your walls in a neutral tone and then adding in flashes of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings might be one of the easiest methods to add a spark to the color in your home. Then it’s a cinch to use the latest colors in your home now and swap the little things out when color schemes adapt in the future.

When thinking about new window treatments, choose ones in neutral tones like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will easily complement any style or color scheme and won’t need to be changed when you swap room colors in the future.

Natural Textures

Natural textures aren’t going anywhere this year. Fibers that are hot include woven rugs and baskets, natural or reclaimed wood, and twine. We’re seeing these textures showing up in new places such as on furniture, headboards, and pieces of art. Think of how you can incorporate what you already own and add texture to it such as wrapping a frame in twine or creating an interest piece from old wood.

Incorporating texture into your home through window treatments add another degree of style to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are built 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. Additional window coverings that add texture are Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.

Metals

Accessories and furnishings that incorporate different metals are popping up across Riverside. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially popular in 2017. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, rustic, or vintage pieces such as bar stools, benches, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or pewter in your sinks or cabinetry for a more fashion-forward look.
