Are you planning on selling your home in the near future? In addition to finding yourself a reputable realtor, you should consider sprucing up your home, even just a little bit. In addition to making sure that the outdoor aesthetics are as desirable as possible, you want to make sure that the inside of your home looks its finest. Window treatments can make or break the interior of a home.
What are some of the window treatment trends that are going to be used in 2018? Will they work in your home? Let’s take a look.
Layers Upon Layers
Layering materials and textures is going to be where it’s at not only for in-home furnishings but in the fashion world in 2018. This is functional and easy when applied to windows. As you layer your window treatments, you will be creating a designer feel within an extra customized touch. Additionally, at any given time, you can more accurately allow the amount of light into a room that is specifically desired.
Try putting a blackout Roman shade over a solar shade or a sheer drapery over a blackout-lined woven wood shade. Get creative! Find the perfect solution with the ideal pairing to suit each space from a practical and a visual standpoint.
Aaah, Velvet!
Once again, when it comes to style on the runway and in your home, velvet and the incorporation of it into an outfit or treatment has been popular and will continue to be so in 2018. As a matter of fact, for this year, the “It” fabric has already been designated as velvet. It is going to be seen everywhere in luxurious, beautiful homes.
Surely you’ve noticed side chairs and sofas donning velvet upholstery. But there’s no reason to stop there. Dress up your cornices, draperies, and Roman shades in your chosen shade of velvet to give a super luxe feel to your décor.
Shimmer and Shine
Everyone from new, emerging creators to some of the industry’s biggest fashion designers are incorporating sequins, glitter, and shimmering fabrics into today’s fashions. For some time now, metallic décor and accents have been a part of interior design – and the movement shows no sign of deteriorating.
Think vertical blinds, woven wood shades, Roman shades, and roller shades in beaded pearl. Consider material that is sheer, sparkly, and brilliant for draperies and Roman shades. Pair these together or use them as standalones.
Global-Inspired Prints and Colors
Don’t assume that neutral prints are out just because global-inspired prints and colors are on the rise, as our culture embraces natural beauty and organic materials. Consider using effortless and breezy stylish combinations of hand drawn-prints, soft colors, and neutrals which work in almost any space.
Bold and Graphic Patterns
Past years’ neutral solids and minimalism are exactly that – past. Coming back in the home furnishings and fashion world are large-scale patterns. Dress up an understated room or go graphic everywhere. Consider versatile yet bold, chic, and colorful designs on blackout materials or light filtering materials.
Once you have worked on the inside and outside aesthetics of your home, ask your realtor what else you can do to encourage its sale. A seasoned professional will know all the tricks of the trade. There’s every chance that they can make a suggestion or two that will help sell your home at the highest price, as quickly as possible.
