Styling Neutral Shades for Maximum Impact Near Peoria, IL

Neutral elements ground interiors and can act as the roots of design from which the intricacies and nuanced details of home décor can grow. Window treatments are often fashioned in neutral colors to act as a backdrop in rooms. With their prominent, eye-level position they are an important part of both decorative and functional décor. However, neutral colors for shades don't need to be boring if they’re styled smartly and fully integrated into home décor. So, when shopping for your next set of neutral shades follow our steps for elevating and customizing design:

Start with the Right Neutral Color

If neutral colors mean just brown, tan or beige to you, you’re missing a whole spectrum of dynamic neutral tones. Modern design often uses black and white as bold neutral hues, and in the latest color trends, greys are making an appearance as an interesting option for neutral colors for shades.

Add Textures to Give Depth

Once you’ve chosen a neutral color to suit your home décor, think next about the textures available to add visual interest to your neutral shades. Texture adds depth and dimension keeping neutral colors from falling flat.

Find interesting textures in the fabrics of collections like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades that use organic materials like woods, grasses, or bamboo to craft soft textiles with rich, raw weaves. Or create multi-tiered window treatments with multiple coverings to build layers of complementary textures into your neutral shades such as pairing woven wood shades with sheer side panels.

Complement with Smart Accent Colors

Neutral shades don’t necessarily have to be monochromatic in order to hold their place as a neutral backdrop. In fact, using accent colors in a restrained manner can help to elevate the color scheme. Depending on the interior design style of your particular home, accent colors may vary, but their use can pop up in a number of similar ways such as in window shade accessories, custom upholstered furnishings, and wall art.

Use Prints and Patterns Strategically

Another way to add visual interest to neutral shades is with the use of prints and patterns. Using tints (hue plus white), shades (hue plus black) or tones (hue plus grey) based off the same neutral color, fabrics can highlight intricate prints or eye-catching patterns while remaining within the neutral color range that you’ve chosen.

In the Design Studio™ collection for drapes, Roman shades, and roller shades homeowners will find a wide range of fabric choices including exclusive designer prints and patterns in neutral tones with the additional benefit of those fabrics being available for purchase by the yard to create custom, matching accessories.

Employ Movement to Bring Colors to Life

Upgrade your neutral shades with a motorized operating system like PowerView® to add easy movement and convenient control. For modern homes the addition of motorization for their window completes the treatment’s integration into both their home’s style and daily routine.
