Window Treatment Trends to Look For In 2014

The times they are a-changin’ – just ask anybody in the field of interior design. A color or pattern is hot one year – the next year homeowners may find it hideous. It’s hard to know what will be in demand, and some people spend much of their time attempting to keep up through whatever means necessary. Whether you care about wall accessories or couch fabrics, there is always a cycle. When it comes to window treatments, the possibilities are nearly endless. Window treatments are design elements you put on, around, or over windows. What developments can we look forward to in the year 2014?
Window Covering Trends 2014

Many homeowners are opting to use custom-made window treatments. Custom treatments ensure that you will be the only one who owns a particular item, but this option is also useful when you are dealing with an unwieldy space. If you think that custom decorations for your windows will cost you an arm and a leg, it may surprise you to learn that it doesn’t have to be that way. You can find fabrics that won’t require that you live on noodles in order to afford them, and you don’t have to sacrifice workmanship and taste. A qualified company can work with you to find what suits your preferences.

Another trend worthy of note involves the need to allow sunlight to come into the home. It used to be that people used shades and blinds that permitted complete blockage of any influence from nature. However, translucent drapes are a common want these days for people who wish to cut back on electricity costs. When you use natural light, it’s not necessary keep a lamp on at all hours of the day. Sheer curtains make it easy to gain light from the sun and privacy at the same time. Window treatments of this kind can bring benefits to tall and small windows alike.

What else is there? The vintage look is making a place for itself in the world of modern home decor. If the idea of filling your home with antiques sends you running for the door, recall that nostalgia is a powerful force in today’s world. What is old becomes new again, and you can breathe new life into your grandmother’s furniture or fine china collection. There are many items on the market that utilize the “shabby chic” trend, and there are countless window treatment options you can add to your own house.

Trends will always exist – the turning of the tide is something you can’t prevent with even the most advanced of equipment. Why not take that fact and mold it into something positive for your home?
