Cues From Nature

Another strong theme in window treatments continues to be the use of natural materials. This can range from bamboo curtain rods to red shades, even bamboo fabric home items.

Bamboo fabrics are showing up in clothing and in home furnishing lines, such as towels, blankets, and sheets. Wood elements are also showing up in decorative accessories and elements.

To bring a current twist to window treatments, try adding a small border of hand-carved wooden beads. This may be all it takes to make a window topper or panel feel more current.

Bold and Beautiful

Strong patterns with bold color are another window trend that’s coming into fashion. Taking a bold pattern into a panel doesn’t make much sense, though, because the folds of the panel will make the bold pattern disappear.

To make the most of bold, bright patterns, apply the fabric to window shades set inside the window openings. These look especially good in rooms with little color or pattern going on because the strength of the pattern on the window really pops against the plain walls.

Or, apply a bold or busy pattern on a cornice – another window treatment that’s coming back into fashion again. Cornices allow for a big punch of color and texture without becoming a deluge.

Paired with simple panels, a brightly colored or bold patterned cornice will add real design zing to a dull window.

Touch of Luxury

The texture is also a key design trend in window fashions and luxury fabrics stand at the front of the line. Many are looking for privacy and old-fashion movie theater drama in their home theaters and velvet is a perfect choice.

The rich opulence of velvet is hard to beat except by one fabric and that fabric is silk. Nothing says richness like silk.
