Trends for window treatments in 2021

Trends for window treatments in 2021 all center on nature and recreating those feelings of freedom and openness we get from being outside in nature (probably because for most we’ll be spending more time than we’d like at home and inside this year). So, whether it is mimicking the expansive feel of outdoor space and natural light or incorporating natural elements like wood or including designs with natural motifs; in the new year it’s all about bringing the outdoors in.

Trends for window treatments in 2021 including wooden details and nature motifs near Chattanooga, Tennessee (TN)

TREND #1 – NATURAL LIGHT

Like we saw in 2020, the popularity of sheer shades continues to grow as a preferred custom window treatment. The sheer fabric in these types of window covers allows natural light to enter, but reduces glare allowing for view-through sun protection. So, you see the benefit of both natural light and unobstructed views with sheer shades, which makes the space feel more open and expansive.

Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings with adjustable s-shaped vanes suspended between two layers of sheer material are some of the most popular sheer shades because they are easy to use, offer privacy whist still allowing natural light to enter, and they are available in a variety of fabrics with different colors, patterns, and weaves.

TREND #2 – WOODEN ELEMENTS

Like Trend #1, the second trend on our list of trends for window treatments in 2021 is about bringing the outside in but doing it with a specific element such as wood. Wood is a versatile design element because it can be styled in a variety of ways from traditional wooden plantation shutters to modern black wood blinds. It therefore can be a useful natural element when designing a space because it can blend so well with many different interior design aesthetics.

Parkland® Wood Blinds are the finest wood blinds crafted by Hunter Douglas. They come in a variety of slat sizes and colors so that you can customize your wood blinds to perfectly match your style. And for every Parkland® Wood Blind sold, Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation®, so while you’re harnessing nature in your décor you can also be helping nature with a donation.

TREND #3 - PRINTS WITH NATUAL ELEMENTS

Bringing the outdoors into your design doesn’t have to be as literal as using natural elements if you don’t like those more earthy details, you can also incorporate natural motifs in your rooms for Trend #3. The Rebecca Atwood collection of designer fabrics for the Hunter Douglas Design Studio suite of products is one way to do this as nature is a repeating theme in the artist’s work. Having grown up on Cape Cod, Atwood’s experiences with the ocean imprinted on her artistic process from a young age, and both her inspiration and printing technique are often based on natural elements. Window treatments made with fabrics from Atwood’s collection bring the theme of nature to design without being literal and tie those natural motifs with classic design elements to create trendy but timeless window fashions.
