As 2024 looms on the horizon, now is the time to start thinking about the kind of changes you hope to make to your home and lifestyle in the coming year. There are many things you can do to transform your house into a place of peace and comfort, including updating your home’s window treatments. New window treatments make a big splash in interior spaces, and can even lift the mood or alter the ambiance.
2024 is likely to be a time of many exciting design trends in the world of windows and doors. Whether you’re changing sliding glass door treatments in just one room or updating all the windows in the entire house, here’s what you can look forward to as you’re shopping for the best options available.
Windows and doors aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. They’re customized for the space because every home is different. To keep up with this level of customization, many homeowners are choosing customized treatments for their house. This allows them to draw attention to – and enhance – the beauty and elegance of their windows and doors.
Work with a custom window treatment designer to create window treatments you love. Follow the tips and trends listed below to ensure that the custom treatments you create will make your windows and doors pop.
Grays have been in style for a long time, but that tide is slowly turning. Today, many homeowners look to warm neutrals to make spaces more inviting and attractive. Warm browns, beiges and creams are all excellent options for window treatments. These neutral colors unify spaces and bring together accent colors. Warm neutrals are just as elegant as cool grays, but have a cozy, homey quality that many homeowners love.
Warm neutrals can even have the same formal beauty as cool grays, if you choose the right materials. Silk and satin can dress up the space without losing out on the magnificent comfort that you can gain by using warm neutrals.
Pops of color are in fashion, especially soothing colors like blues and greens. From light-hearted shades of sea green to brooding colors like navy, these colors are highly fashionable and make a statement in any room. Blue and green are perfect for bedrooms, where they bring a soothing sense of calm and peace to the environment. Blue and green are also welcome in the living room, where they can easily dress up the space.
Natural light never goes out of style, but in 2024 you can expect to see a range of window treatment styles that allow maximum light into the home. From valance-only treatments used on double hung and single hung windows to sheers utilized in spaces like the bedroom and living room, watch for this trend.
Hang gauzy window treatments over your patio doors or French doors to allow as much light as possible into your home. You’ll love the way that home interiors really shine when the maximum amount of natural light is allowed into interior spaces.
Window treatments can help save energy, especially if your home’s windows are older. Use of insulating window treatments can help regulate the temperature indoors, especially when the hot summer sun is beating down.
As homeowners become more energy conscious, use of smart window treatments to shade interior spaces is becoming more common. Unless you’re planning to replace your home’s windows with more energy-efficient models, this is an excellent option to maintain a stable and consistent temperature in your home.
Smart products are the way of the future, and that future is coming fast! Motorized blinds and Roman shades are quickly becoming one of the most popular items in luxury homes. With a single command sent from your phone, you can open or close your shades to allow sunlight into your home as desired. Motorized Roman shades are essential on windows that are too high on the wall to reach.
Organic materials are in! In 2024, we anticipate woven shades will become a more popular option in homes where wood and other natural materials are already prominently displayed. Woven shades have a casual beauty that’s perfect for use in rooms like the bedroom, home library and kid’s play room.
Your home has a carefully coordinated color palette. Make that palette stand out with window treatments in carefully coordinated colors and patterns. You can do this with custom-made window treatments as discussed above, or shop around for window treatments and colors that really stand out in your home. Remember that your window treatments don’t have to match perfectly with the other colors in the room to work well in the space.
Whether you’re going to update your home with customized window and door treatments, or you’re simply adding a touch of color to one or two of your rooms, follow these home design trends as you update your home. Use top window and door trends to make your home stand out. Don’t forget to have fun and take some risks as you choose window design and home decor in the coming year.
