New Window Styles and Home Trends for 2017 in New York

January 11, 2017

This time of year is an ideal time to revamp your interior fashion and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your family room, buying new window coverings or changing out furniture, we have tips on what’s fashionable in 2017 for home fashion and window treatment trends in New York.

Dusky Colors & Pastels

Both pastels and dusky tones are trending while clear, vibrant colors are seeing less use. Shades of cooler colors like blues and grays are very popular in addition to dusty hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many shades on the palette are suggestive of nature from deep blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutral colors are still found throughout the color palette with whites, grays and darker beiges giving balance to other colors.

When thinking about new window treatments, pick ones in neutral colors like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will go beautifully with any style or color palette and can stay in place when you switch room colors in the future.

Textures

Natural textures continue to be popular this year. Fibers that are popular include woven rugs and baskets, rustic wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures showing up in new places like on headboards, furniture, and pieces of art. Breathe new life into an old belonging with a small project like wrapping a frame in twine or creating an interest piece out of old wood.

Adding textures to your design through window treatments add another layer of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are built from aged, knotted wood that was once part of doors or homes. The wood has unique grains and divots that bring an intrinsic feel to any home. Other window treatments that add texture include Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.

Metals

Furniture, hardware, and accessories that incorporate a variety of metals are becoming popular across New York. Gold, nickel, and brass are especially stylish in 2017. You can add metals to your décor by adding industrial, rustic, or retro pieces such as stools, chairs, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t shy away from using nickel or brass in your sinks or hardware for a more fashion-forward aesthetic.
