Window treatments are the unsung heroes of interior design.  If you look closely at your favorite room designs, you will notice that window treatments are the perfect complement to the design’s theme. Window treatments are an essential part of your room’s décor. Dialing down into trends help our clients understand the right choice, exactly right, exactly you!

According to Mark Knight, Design Director at RM COCO,  “Color for 2019 is going bright and rich.  Gray is not going away, but is warming up with hues of brown rather than cool grays.  Dark greens will be very popular, and soft pink will continue, but with a more coral based palette. Large floral prints are on the horizon, and maximalist is in while minimalist looks are out.  Look for the black kitchen and the black bathroom to be all the rage in 2019.”

Let’s look at ten different window treatments that are making a stylish splash in 2019:

Black window frames

This is an industrial touch that is in stark contrast to traditional white window frames. If you add these to light-colored curtains, you will get a dramatic look that will really pop.

 

Bold Prints

Our friends at Dahl House Design are going bold by incorporating PANTONE® 2019 Color of the Year, Living Coral, in their designs. A pop of color could be just the statement your room needs to make a lasting impression.

 

Floor to ceiling curtains

These are great if you have a large glass sliding door. Floor to ceiling stationary side panels or traversing drapery can make your room look larger and more refined and give the appearance of a higher ceiling.

 

Motorized Window Treatments

Imagine a world where your window treatments adjust themselves automatically, creating the perfect room ambiance morning, noon and night. That’s the beauty of PowerView® Motorization—recipient of the 2018 Red Dot Design Award, the most coveted and prestigious designation in the world of design.

Just program PowerView to move your window treatments to the exact position you want and then control and schedule them using the intuitive PowerView App. You can also operate your PowerView shades using the PowerView Pebble® Control. Voice activate your PowerView shades with Amazon Alexa, Siri on your Apple devices, or the Google Assistant.

 

Metallics and Steel

Metallic fabrics and hardware are strong on trend. You can add a metallic look without going overboard by adding accents such as fabrics with metallic accents tone on tone, or tweeds with metallic threads.

 

Flower Power

If you are a fan of floral design, then you’re going to be quite happy this year. The longstanding popularity of flowers is on trend right now and this is the perfect time to enhance any space with a beautiful, inspired-by-nature design. Large prints of one flower can be seen in wall coverings as a contemporary accent.

 

Sheer curtains and blinds

This option allows for more natural light with a dreamy up in the clouds effect. With sheer curtains and blinds, you can maintain privacy with sheers leaving a classic light filtering.

 

Trimmings

Curtain trims such as tassels or beads are playful and fun. If you’re looking for a seashore theme, you can even trim your drapes with seashell patterns. Banding on the leading edge of drapery or Roman Shades lends itself to most design themes.

 

Practical Meets Trendy

There’s a growing demand for energy-saving and innovative window treatments. Our clients are savvy energy efficient consumers that want function and savings with energy consumption. The window treatment market is working to meet the growing demand for stylish and forward-thinking products.

 

Woven wood

Window coverings in a natural fiber style, think bamboos and grasses, are popular because they work so well with a variety of room styles. Working with natural sustainable materials in your room’s design is on trend and very good for the environment.
