New Year, New Window Styles and New Brunswick Design Trends

January 11, 2017

This time of year is an ideal time to shake up your interior fashion and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. From painting your family room, to buying new window coverings or changing out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s in vogue this year for interior fashion and window treatment trends in New Brunswick.

Duskier Tones & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier tones are trending while clear, bright colors are trending downward. Shades of cooler colors like blues and grays are especially popular in addition to muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many colors on the palette are evocative of nature from deep blue to “Greenery”, Pantone’s color of the year. Neutrals are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker tans giving balance to other tones.

Painting most of your walls in a neutral color and then adding in pops of color through feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings might be one of the easiest ways to revamp the color in your home. Then it’s a cinch to highlight the latest colors in your home now and change the accessories out when color schemes vary in the future.

When thinking about new window coverings, 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 palette and can stay in place when you switch room colors in the future.

Natural Textures

Natural textures continue to be popular in 2017. Fibers that are popular include woven rugs and baskets, knotted wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures popping up in new places like on furniture, headboards, and pieces of art. Add new life into an old belonging with a small touch such as wrapping a frame in twine or making an interest piece from old wood.

Incorporating texture into your design through window treatments add another level of style to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed from old, natural wood that was once part of doors or buildings. The wood has unique grains and divots that bring an all-natural quality to any house. Additional window treatments that bring texture into your home are Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.

Metals

Furniture, hardware, and accessories that incorporate varying metals are becoming popular across New Brunswick. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially popular in 2017. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, homespun, and older pieces such as bar stools, benches, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or brass in your sinks or hardware for a more contemporary look.
