Hot Trends

Shutters and wood blinds are the rave, not only among new home buyers, but those who are remodeling, too.

Colors: Bright, bold colors that inject energy and excitement into a room. Tones from opposite sides of the color wheel brighten and add punch to windows.

Sunscreen blinds that block more than 90 percent of the sun’s UV rays.

Wonderful textures such as taffeta, silk and linen are very popular. Fabrics enhanced with sheen or flecked with metallic threads such as iridescent, gold, silver, copper and platinum-toned fabrics create highlight and shadows.

New safety options provide window coverings without cords—Hunter Douglas is the leader in this technology providing both safety for your children and functionality for your family.

Look for fabrics and wall coverings featuring the tassel motif, window treatments with tassel-trimmed valances, tassel designs on towels and linens and even decorative drapery hardware with tassel-shaped metal finials.

Motorized window treatments are controlled either through a switch, a remote, or a wall timer.
