New Window Styles and Design Trends for 2017 in Austin

The start of the new year is a great time to update your home design and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your living room, buying new window coverings or changing out furniture, we have the guide to what’s hot in 2017 for home design and window treatment trends in Austin.

Dusky Hues & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier hues are seeing more use while clear, bright colors are on the wane. Shades of cooler colors like blues and grays are especially popular in addition to dusty 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 tones are still found throughout the color palette with whites, grays and darker tans balancing out the other hues.

Painting some of your walls in a neutral tone and then adding in pops of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings is one of the simplest ways to revamp the color in your home. Then it’s a breeze to have the latest colors in your interior design today and change the accessories out when color schemes vary down the road.

When considering new window coverings, go with those in neutral tones like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will easily complement any style or color scheme and can stay in place if you swap room colors down the line.

Natural Textures

Natural textures will remain popular in 2017. Fibers that are popular include weaved material in rugs or baskets, rustic wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures popping up in new places including on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. You can easily incorporate what you already own and add texture to it such as wrapping a frame in twine or creating artwork from old wood.

Adding textures to your house through window treatments add another level of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed using historic, knotted wood that was once part of doors or buildings. The wood has unique knots and grain lines that bring an all-natural feel to any home. Additional window coverings that bring texture into your home are Ovation® wood shutters or natural woven shades.

Metals

Furniture, hardware, and accessories that incorporate varying metals are popping up across Austin. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially popular in 2017. You can add metals to your décor by finding industrial, homespun, and vintage pieces such as stools, chairs, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t be afraid to use nickel or brass in your faucets or hardware for a more modern aesthetic.

Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a great way to get the visual benefit of metals and add an industrial or homespun look to your house. Barn doors are made from solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as wheels, sliding tracks, and door handles that are made of steel.
