If you want to make a statement with your window treatments, look no further than draperies. They are extremely versatile and a great way to show off your personal style. They can soften a room, add color and texture. Added bonus: They provide privacy and light control, as well. What are the current drapery trends you ask? Let's take a look…
BOLD Patterns
Bold patterns are IN in a big way. Stripes, florals, paisleys, damasks...these are drapery trends that aren't going anywhere soon. Bold patterns can help elevate a room and bring in your own personal touch. That being said, they aren't for everyone.
Little BIG Details
“It's the little things that make all the difference." It's a common statement, and drapery details are no exception. Hardware selection is crucial when curating your space. Today's popular finishes are: natural brass, matte black and bronze. Don’t forget the header, too! The top of the draperies can be attached in various ways: Rings, Rod grommets or Drapery Hooks.
Layers Layers Layers
We love a layering moment. It's timeless and elegant. Layering drapery adds color, texture and dimension to any window. One of the most popular looks right now is linen drapes paired with a woven shade. The contrast of the woven texture, with the softness of the linen, gives you a striking contrast while still remaining chic and effortless. Both woven shades and linen fabrics are light filtering and can give you control over how much or how little light enters your space. Stylish and functional, our favorite combo!
What's another way to layer in today's top drapery trends? We love the look of solid drapes and sheer panels sharing the same window–or sliding door. Similar to linens and woven shades at the window, this gives you the option to customize your lighting needs. In the morning, you might like a lot of light to fill out space, but in the later afternoon, you may prefer less light with more privacy. The options are endless.
There Are No Rules…
Your home is YOUR home. There are no rules when designing your space. You can make it the way you want it! That's what's so great about home design. It's all about your own personal aesthetic and the vibes you want to give off. With that in mind, we love to pass along information to help make your choices. Adding drapery in unexpected places in your home can be a great way to show your fun side. Laundry room–Why not? Walk-in closet?! Sure! The primary bathroom? Of course! There are no rules here, go with what you love! And, we love that current drapery trends are finding their way into the unexpected.
Colors, Neutrals or Both?!
Are you a color person, or a neutral person? Or are you both? Mixing colors with neutrals is a fun way to show off your personal style. It is always a good first step into adding color into your home. You could choose a neutral foundation to bring in a sense of calm. Then, you might like bold colors as an accent to invoke a sense of playfulness. No matter which you prefer, or a balance of both, you can’t go wrong! Our team at Randall’s is here to help!
