New Year, New Window Styles and Gainesville Home Trends
The beginning of the new year is a great time to revamp your home design and window treatments with the best new styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your family room, buying new window treatments or swapping out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s fashionable in 2017 for interior design and window treatment trends in Gainesville.
Dusky Tones & Pastels
Both pastels and dusky tones are growing in popularity while clear, bright colors are seeing less use. Shades of gray, blue and green are especially popular as are dusty hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many shades on the spectrum are evocative of nature from deep blue to “Greenery”, Pantone’s color of the year. Neutral colors are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker beiges giving balance to other colors.
The simplest method to update the color in your house might be to paint some of your walls a neutral shade and add in pops of colors through feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings. Then it’s easy to use the latest colors in your home now and swap the little things out when color schemes adapt in the future.

When thinking about new window coverings, choose those in neutral tones such as Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will go beautifully with any style or color palette and won’t need to be changed if you swap room colors in the future.
Natural Textures
Natural textures continue to be popular this year. Fibers in vogue include woven rugs and baskets, knotted wood, and twine. Designers are finding these textures popping up in new places such as on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. Add new life into an old belonging with a small touch such as wrapping a frame in twine or making an interest piece out of old wood.
Incorporating texture into your design through window treatments add another layer of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are constructed using aged, natural wood that was once part of doors or buildings. The wood has unique grains and divots that bring an all-natural feel to your house. Additional window coverings that bring texture into your home include Ovation® wood shutters or traditional woven shades.
Metals
Accessories and hardware that incorporate a variety of metals are showing up across Gainesville. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially stylish currently. You can add metals to your décor by adding industrial, rustic, or retro pieces such as bar stools, benches, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t shy away from using nickel or brass in your faucets or hardware for a more modern look.
Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a charming way to get the visual benefit of metals and add a streamlined or homespun look to your house. Barn doors are made from solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as wheels, sliding tracks, and door handles that are made of steel.
