New Window Styles and Design Trends for 2017 in Fort Myers

This time of year is a great time to shake up your home design and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. From painting your family room, to buying new window coverings or swapping out accessories, we have tips on what’s in vogue this year for home design and window treatment trends in Fort Myers.

Duskier Colors & Pastels

Both pastels and duskier hues are growing in popularity while clear, vibrant 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 colors on the spectrum are evocative of nature from sky blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutral tones are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker tans balancing out the other hues.

The simplest way to update the color in your house is to paint most of your walls a neutral color and add in pops of colors through feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings. Then it’s simple to use the latest colors in your home today and change the little things out when color trends adapt after some time.

When considering new window coverings, pick those in neutral colors such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will blend in easily with any style or color palette and won’t need to be changed if you switch room colors down the line.

Natural Textures

Natural textures aren’t going anywhere in 2017. Fibers trending up include woven rugs and baskets, knotted wood, and twine. You’ll see these textures popping up in new places like on headboards, furniture, and conversation pieces. Think of how you can incorporate what you already own and add texture to it such as wrapping a frame in twine or making artwork from old wood.

Incorporating texture into your design through window treatments add another layer of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed from historic, weathered wood that was once part of fences or buildings. The wood has unique twists and knots that bring an intrinsic feel to your house. Additional window treatments that bring texture into your home include Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.

Metals

Furniture, hardware, and accessories that incorporate multiple metals are becoming popular across Fort Myers. Nickel, wrought iron, and gold are especially stylish currently. You can incorporate metals in your décor by finding industrial, rustic, and/or older pieces such as bar stools, chairs, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or pewter in your faucets or cabinetry for a more modern look.

Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a fantastic way to incorporate metals and add an industrial or homespun style to your space. Barn doors are constructed from solid wood and have a variety of hardware to choose from such as wheels, tracks, and pull handles that are made of different metals.
