Keep Neutral Window Treatments Interesting In 2023
In 2023, pops of bold color are in style once more, and so are natural materials. However, boldly colored window treatments might not be for you, and that’s okay! If your worry is that installing neutral window treatments will look boring, rest assured this is not the case.
In style, neutral colors should be used with the intention of being an even-handed backdrop - that doesn’t have to mean boring or visually uninteresting. The key to keeping neutral window treatments compelling lies in both the textiles being used and the way the treatments interact with the elements around them. The use of textured materials, prints, and patterns can be the difference between a boring, bland neutral window covering and a rich, dynamic neutral window fashion.
Using Texture
Texture is great at keeping neutral color palettes interesting. Texture adds depth and dimensions to prevent neutral tones from falling flat. When textured fabrics are used in window treatments, the result is a neutral backdrop for design that still has stylistic interest.
The natural materials and coarser weaves of Hunter Douglas woven wood shades offers that textural interest for neutral window treatments. In the Hunter Douglas collection, there are two lines of treatments that utilize these kinds of woven textiles:
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades come available as Roman shades, Roman waterfall shades, or in drapery form. This style of woven shade gets its textural interest from the organic woods, reeds, and grasses it’s built from.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® are available as roller or Roman shades. The globally inspired fabrics in this collection feature a wide range of textures from knobby tweeds to silken sheers.
Monochromatic Prints
Detailing in neutral window treatments is key. Neutral colors can seemingly fade away if there aren't some visual points of interest to keep the eye engaged. Explore monochromatic prints to give your neutral window treatment that added element of visual allure while still staying in your neutral color scheme. We love to see these prints played out in drapery or roller shades as both afford a fabric front capable of holding monochromatic prints.
- Designer Roller Shades are great for geometric prints or repetitive patterns since their fabric fronts have no seams to disrupt the pattern’s continuity.
- Design Studio™ Drapery are ideal for linear prints or botanically inspired patterns because the graceful movement of drapery brings to life the underlying design motifs in each style of print.
Taking Advantage of Sunlight and Views
Sunlight is a powerful design element, and so is the view out our windows! Both add to the rich visual tapestry of our homes. Contemporary neutral window treatments smartly use these elements framing the view and controlling the light, and in return they benefit from the welcoming illumination created and the visual aesthetic produced.
There are several types of neutral window treatments including sheer shades and banded shades that use translucent and opaque textiles to create striking visuals yet maintain environmental control.
- Sheer shades with horizontal and vertical applications can cover doors or windows with graceful neutrality.
- Banded shades use screen or mesh materials and neutral toned opaque fabric vanes to create a dynamic neutral window treatment.
