10 Window Treatment Trends

Window treatments in jewel tones, which range from deep reds to subtle blues, are sophisticated and create the atmosphere of luxury in any space. Designer Jennifer Duneier says, "Jewel tones, like amethyst and turquoise, are popular mixed with soft metallics such as platinum or brushed nickel." Design by Sara Tuttle

One trend that's always in style is using window treatments that allow a lot of natural light into the space. Designer Jennifer Duneier suggests to "use simple panels of sheer fabrics to add warmth to the room but still let light through. Many fabric houses are making fabulous sheers in all colors, not just white or cream. They're also using great linen blends with more contemporary patterns. Great sources include Highland Court, Beacon Hill/Robert Allen, Kravet and Lee Jofa." Design by Andreea Avram Rusu

Personalize window treatments with decorative embellishments. Designer Jennifer Duneier uses trim to create custom-designed treatments with store-bought pieces. "Samuel & Sons has a fabulous trim with Murano glass beads hanging from the tape that is unusual. Tapes with shells or buttons attached to them are becoming more popular as well."

Organic materials are bringing nature indoors. "It's all about nature-inspired and eco-friendly materials and designs," says designer Lori Gilder. "It's no longer a trend, but more of a philosophy in the evolution of design. Bamboo, matchstick blinds and natural woven shades layered with simple sheer linen panels create an elegant yet earthy sophistication in any space." Design by Kerrie Kelly
