5 FALL TRENDS FOR WINDOW SHADES

1. Botanical Prints

One of our favorite trends throughout 2021 has been the use of botanical prints. And while floral patterns ruled in the spring and summer, fall trends for window shades favor organic design inspired by parts of the plant other than the blossom. Botanical prints based on leaves or plants like grasses, woods, and bamboos top the trending style. The Atwood collection of designer prints, part of the Hunter Douglas Design Studio® suite of products, features modern prints with an organic motif that are on point for this fall trend. Design Studio® products that are available with prints from Rebecca Atwood include drapery, side panels, Roman shades, and roller shades.

2. Natural Fabrics

Natural fabrics for window shades used to typically mean cotton shades, but today natural fabrics for window treatments are far ranging from colorful cottons to woven woods. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades from Hunter Douglas are made from grass, wood, reed, and bamboo yet are pliable enough for applications in Roman, waterfall Roman, and vertical drapery. Fall trends for window shades use natural materials in dynamic ways, which is why woven wood shades are a popular choice as they have an intriguing organic texture that reads polished and refined.

3. Sophisticated Color

Monochromatic palettes that showcase a single hue with suave sophistication are showing up in fall trends for window shades with their understated elegance and intrigue. The rich folds of Roman shades add texture and movement to colors making the shades come alive with depth and dimension. Additionally, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades from Hunter Douglas can be customized with light-filtering or light-blocking liners creating striking plays of color using natural light.

4. Sheer Plus

Cozy and comfy aesthetics always cycle through the trends when temperatures turn colder in the autumn and winter months; this year utilizing sheer shadings in layered look pulls ahead in the cozy category for 2021 fall trends for window shades. Sheer materials filter light creating a warm and welcoming glow that helps keep indoor spaces feeling cozy. Sheer shadings like Silhouette® Window Shadings and Pirouette® Window Shadings, which have strong horizontal lines, pair nicely with long vertical drapery for a layered look that reads stylish and refined while also creating a welcoming and cozy ambiance.

5. Advanced Technology

As technology gets better and better (aka: more efficient and more affordable) the demand for it grows and widens. Trends for modern window treatments almost always include technological advancements that make treatments more functionally precise or convenient to use. Afterall who doesn’t want that on an ongoing basis? Popular this year is PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas that works on a variety of window treatment styles and in coordination with home-assistant and smart-home technologies.
