New Year, New Window Styles and Bakersfield Design Trends

This time of year is the perfect time to shake up your interior fashion and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your living room, buying new window treatments or changing out accessories, we have the guide to what’s in vogue this year for home design and window treatment trends in Bakersfield.

Duskier Hues & Pastels

Both pastels and dusky colors are growing in popularity while clear, bright colors are seeing less use. Shades of cooler colors like blues and grays are especially popular in addition to muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many hues on the spectrum are reminiscent of nature from sky blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutral colors are still found in the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker browns giving balance to other hues.

The easiest thing you can do to revamp the color in your home might be to paint some of your walls a neutral shade and add in pops of colors with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings. Then it’s a cinch to have the latest colors in your home now and swap the accessories out when color schemes switch after some time.

When thinking about new window coverings, choose those in neutral tones such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color stain. These will match any style or color palette and can stay in place if you switch room colors down the line.

Natural Textures

Natural textures aren’t going anywhere in 2017. Fibers that are hot include weaved material in rugs or baskets, knotted wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures showing up in new places like on furniture, headboards, 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 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 aged, weathered wood that was once part of doors or structures. The wood has unique twists and knots that bring an organic quality to any house. Additional window coverings that bring texture into your home are Ovation® wood shutters or traditional woven shades.

Metals

Accessories and hardware that incorporate multiple metals are showing up across Bakersfield. Nickel, wrought iron, and gold are especially stylish this year. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, homespun, and retro pieces such as stools, chairs, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t shy away from using nickel or pewter in your sinks or hardware for a more contemporary look.

Sliding barn doors and barn door shutters are a fantastic way to bring in some metals and add an industrial or homespun style to your space. Barn doors are constructed from solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as rollers, tracks, and door handles made from different metals.
