New Year, New Window Styles and Boston Home Trends

The start of the new year is an ideal time to revitalize your home design and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. From painting your living room, to buying new window coverings or swapping out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s fashionable in 2017 for interior design and window treatment trends in Boston.

Duskier Tones & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier hues are trending while clear, vibrant colors are on the wane. Shades of gray, blue and green are especially popular as are dusty hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many hues on the palette are reminiscent 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 beiges giving balance to other shades.

The easiest method to revamp the color in your home might be to paint some of your walls a neutral tone and add in pops of colors with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings. Then it’s simple to use the latest colors in your home now and swap the little things out when color schemes adapt in the future.

When assessing new window coverings, go with ones in neutral colors like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color stain. These will easily complement any style or color scheme and can stay in place if you switch room colors in the future.

Natural Textures

Natural textures aren’t going anywhere this year. Fibers that are popular include weaved material in rugs or baskets, knotted wood, and twine. You’ll see these textures showing up in new places including on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. Breathe new life into an old belonging with a small touch like wrapping a frame in twine or creating artwork from old wood.

Incorporating texture into your home through window treatments add another degree of style to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed using old, knotted wood that was once part of fences or buildings. The wood has unique knots and grain lines that bring an all-natural feel to your house. Additional window treatments that add texture are Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.

Metals

Interior design motifs that incorporate varying metals are popping up across Boston. Nickel, wrought iron, and gold are especially popular in 2017. You can add metals to your décor by finding industrial, homespun, and older pieces such as bar stools, benches, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or pewter in your sinks or cabinetry for a more fashion-forward look.

Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a stunning way to get the visual benefit of metals and add an industrial or homespun style to your room. Barn doors are constructed from solid wood and have a variety of hardware to choose from such as wheels, tracks, and door handles that are made of steel.
