Decorating With Neutral Window Fashions
Neutral window shades are not just a staple in residential decor but a necessity in interior design. That’s because every room needs a neutral base element upon which interior design can be built, and neutral window shades make an ideal backdrop for room décor. But neutral does not have to mean boring. In fact, the best neutral shades are not just aesthetically functional as a neutral backdrop; they are a rich and striking visual element with ingrained character and stylistic interest of their own. So, join our team as we help you to transform ordinary neutral shades into stunning custom neutral window fashions.
- Working with Unique Organic Materials: Organic materials like wood bring to neutral window fashions their neutral or earthy color palette, natural strength and durability, and innate sense of charm and warmth. Wood shades come in many forms to suit classic or modern design tastes.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: Made from real wood, these neutral window fashions feature the functional precision of plantation shutters and the beauty of genuine hardwood in a variety of natural wood finishes so that the neutral color used can match the nuanced color palette of individual homes.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades: The softer side of wooden window treatments, woven wood shades use woods and other organic materials like reeds, grasses, and bamboo to create sophisticated neutral window fashions with a one-of-a-kind style that takes a modern twist on traditional hardwood applications.
- Using Bold Neutral Colors: For modern neutral window fashions, the colors tend to fall into four groups of neutral tones: beige/brown, white, black, and grey. Happily, in the world of neutral window fashions, those four color groups get expressed through countless styles of window treatments.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters: For neutral window fashions in wood tones (browns and beiges) as well as white, plantation-style shutters offer a range of subtly different tints, tones, and shades of your preferred primary neutral color.
- Design Studio™ Custom Drapes: Fabrics are another useful material when crafting neutral window treatments specifically for your home’s aesthetic, as fabrics come in a wide range of color choices. You can find prints and patterns in the drapery fabric collection by Hunter Douglas that stay within the neutral color range but add detailing and visual allure to your neutral window fashions.
- Adding Textures and Depth: The key to keeping neutral window fashions from falling flat is adding texture and dimension to the treatments, making the colors more visually compelling with nuanced tones and shading.
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades: Using grasses, woods, reeds, bamboo, and other organic materials, woven wood shades create visual interest through their raw weaves, which add texture and depth to the treatment and also gives this neutral shade its unique ability to softly filter sunlight.
- Layered Window Treatments: Another way to add textures and depth to a neutral window fashion is to create a layered treatment. Playing multiple contrasting textures against each other in a single neutral window fashion creates a sense of overall balance and visual interest. Try paring full drapery over chic shutters or installing sheer side panels to frame woven wooden shades to achieve a balanced look with various textures.
