New Year, New Window Styles and Dover Design Trends

The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to revitalize your home design and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your living room, buying new window coverings or swapping out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s fashionable this year for home design and window treatment trends in Dover.

Duskier Colors & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier colors are trending while clear, bright colors are on the wane. Shades of gray, blue and green are very popular as are dusty hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many colors on the spectrum are suggestive of nature from deep blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutrals are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker browns balancing out the other shades.

Painting some of your walls in a neutral shade and then adding in pops of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings might be one of the simplest methods to add a spark to the color in your home. Then it’s a cinch to have the latest colors in your interior design today and change the little things out when color trends adapt in the future.

When considering new window coverings, go with ones in neutral tones such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color 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.

Textures

Natural textures continue to be popular in 2017. Fibers in vogue include woven rugs and baskets, natural or reclaimed wood, and twine. We’re seeing these textures popping up in new places like on headboards, furniture, and pieces of art. Add new life into an old belonging with a small touch such as wrapping a frame in twine or making artwork from old wood.

Adding textures to your design through window treatments add another level of style to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are made from old, natural wood that was once part of fences or homes. The wood has unique knots and grain lines that bring an organic feel to any home. Other window treatments that add texture include Ovation® wood shutters or natural woven shades.

Metals

Home designs that incorporate varying metals are becoming popular across Dover. Gold, nickel, and brass are especially popular in 2017. You can add metals to your décor by adding industrial, rustic, and retro pieces such as bar stools, chairs, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or brass in your sinks or cabinetry for a more fashion-forward aesthetic.

Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a stunning way to bring in some metals and add a streamlined or rustic style to your space. Barn doors are built of solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as rollers, tracks, and door handles that are made of different metals.
