Adding Brown Shutters to Homes

With modern design shifting to the use of neutrals like white and black, browns had been taking a back seat. But with the emergence of new interior design trends that have been influenced by covid isolation and inspired by the beauty of nature, we are seeing a reemergence of brown as a popular color for interior design. Browns in all shades are appearing in home decor through the use of brown shutters, hardwood floors, and raw-edge tables and counter tops. The new use of brown feels fresh since the color was in a state of dormancy for many years, and it can easily touch on three window treatment color trends for 2022: the use of neutral tones, earth hues and bold color.

Neutral Tones

The use of neutral tones has always been a part of interior decorating thanks to their versatile ability to harmonize with different colors and decor styles. This gives them a diverse range of usefulness within the design space. For window treatments, the use of neutral colors can create striking backdrops to anchor room designs. For 2022, light shades of browns such as beige, tan, or wheat are popular for interior shutters. Light brown shutters have a softer look than darker shades and create a more open feel and gentler aesthetic.

Earthy Hues

With a renewed love for the outdoors, many interior design styles in 2022 embrace earthy hues including blues, greens, and browns. Using earth tones brings the feel of the great outdoors indoors while adding a sense of serenity and natural beauty. For shutters in earthy hues, opt for natural wood tones to capture the style. Earth tones also work well together. For example, you could pair brown shutters with a set of blue drapes to create custom, eye-catching window fashions in an earth-tone palette.

Boldness through Richness

Using solid colors for window treatments can be tricky as a dull hue will mute the treatments and make the overall aesthetic dull. Too loud of a color will create window treatments that feel like overwhelming attention hogs. The key to using solid color is the selection of a full-bodied hue like deep chocolate or mahogany for brown shutters that will hold attention but not scream out for it.
