– Window Shade Color Trends for 2018 – 

Well, 2017 was unfortunately a somewhat challenging year for many people. And many of us are looking forward to an uplifting change in 2018. One place to start ringing in a better New Year is by updating your living space!

And nothing really breathes new life into a home like updating the window treatments! Now, when was the last time you replaced your window shades, blinds or draperies?

As the Westlake Village area’s premier seller and installer of window shades, blinds and draperies, we stay on the cutting edge of window treatment trends. In this article we discuss some of the design industry’s 2018 predictions for what’s on-trend in window coverings for 2018.

Neutrally Elegant Window Shades & Draperies

Nothing conveys understated elegance like floor-to-ceiling window treatments in neutral tones. Chic ivories, eggshells and beiges open up any room – while creating the perfect neutral backdrop for your furnishings and artwork.

As the trend toward all things “natural” continues to gain momentum in California life, unbleached and chemical dye-free window shades grace more Westlake Village homes than ever before.

In more formal rooms, dramatic ivory draperies – perhaps adorned with gold accents – are replacing heavier floral print fabrics, for an updated look.

Patterned Window Shades

For decades window shades were offered only in solid colors. But these aren’t your grandmother’s window shades!

Now available in a wide variety of stripes, dots, florals, paisleys and more, patterned window shades not only complement your décor – but serve as an exciting focal point!

We offer hundreds of engaging patterns – from subtle to eye-popping – to coordinate (or contrast!) with your furnishings. Match the window shade fabric to your accent pillows, or bring color and excitement to a room with white walls or furniture.

Patterned window shades can also bring fun and whimsy to a child’s bedroom – or country charm to a rustic kitchen.

Jewel Tone Draperies & Window Shades

Many of today’s top designers are debuting window treatments in jewel tones – ranging from deep reds to profound blues. Even previously “taboo” colors for window shades and blinds – like amethyst and turquoise – are now on trend.

While jewel tones may not be for every décor, when used properly they can create a sophisticated atmosphere of luxury –especially when tastefully mixed with soft metallic, such as platinum or brushed nickel.

Black is the New Black in Window Shades

Speaking of previously unheard of window shade colors … black is the new window shade color of choice for many homes in Westlake Village! Expanding on the popular 2017 color trend of black-blue paint, and black-brown wood, black has made its way into the window covering arena.

When paired with white walls, black window shades create an ultra-clean and modern look.

Sheer black window shades and sheer black vertical panels are also favored for wide windows and door walls – providing the utmost in privacy and light filtering, while still offering views of the outdoors.
