New Year, New Window Styles and Baltimore Home Trends
The beginning of the new year is an ideal time to revitalize your interior fashion and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. Whether it’s painting your family room, buying new window treatments or swapping out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s hot in 2017 for interior design and window treatment trends in Baltimore.
Dusky Colors & Pastels
Both pastels and duskier tones are seeing more use while clear, bright colors are seeing less use. Shades of gray, blue and green are especially popular as are muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many hues on the palette are suggestive of nature from sky blue to Pantone’s color of the year, “Greenery.”. Neutral colors are still found throughout the color spectrum with whites, grays and darker tans balancing out the other tones.
Painting most of your walls in a neutral tone and then adding in pops of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings may be one of the easiest ways to revamp the color in your home. Then it’s simple to use the latest colors in your home now and change the little things out when color trends switch in the future.

When assessing new window treatments, go with ones in neutral colors like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a natural wood color stain. These will easily complement any style or color scheme and can stay in place if you switch room colors down the line.
New Trends in Textures
Natural textures will remain popular this year. Fibers trending up include weaved material in rugs or baskets, knotted wood, and twine. We’re seeing these textures showing up in new places including on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. Think of how you can incorporate what you already own and add texture to it such as wrapping a frame in twine or creating an interest piece out of old wood.
Incorporating texture into your home through window treatments add another degree of style to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are built from aged, knotted wood that was once part of fences or homes. The wood has unique grains and divots that bring an all-natural feel to any house. Other window treatments that bring texture into your home are Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.
Metals
Interior design motifs that incorporate varying metals are popping up across Baltimore. Wrought iron, brass, and nickel are especially popular now. You can add metals to your décor by adding industrial, rustic, or vintage pieces such as bar stools, chairs, or lamps that are built from metals. Also, don’t shy away from using nickel or pewter in your sinks or hardware for a more modern look.
Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a charming way to get the visual benefit of metals and add an industrial or rustic look to your room. Barn doors are constructed from solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as wheels, sliding tracks, and door handles made from different metals.
