With a new year underway, it’s time to do a little trend forecasting for shades, blinds, curtains and more! What styles and trends can you expect to see popping up this year? How can you incorporate these trends into your own home?

Your 2023 Color Palette

2023 brings a new richness to interior design, while also embracing a “back-to-basics” approach. Expect to see a lot of natural materials and inspirations, from bamboo to woven wood to linen and cotton shades. Incorporating natural materials into window coverings often pulls double duty of adding interest and still allowing in light. As the past few years have seen people spending more time in their homes, that urge to bring a little bit of nature inside is manifesting in home decor trends.

Material Trends For Shades

When it comes to colors, plan to see those natural influences continue. Some of the biggest colors on the market are primed to be sandy tones and off-whites and natural tans and sage greens. We’ll also see a lot of rich tones skewing to the market, more luxe side, such as crimson and royal navy. While lighter colors do allow for more natural light, darker colors have an advantage in cleaning and maintenance, as they don’t show dust as easily.

Layering & Depth

Another trend on the horizon plays around with adding depth and dimension to a space – and having a little fun! Layering up window treatments not only pulls double duty for protection from elements and insulation for your home (a key concern with rising energy costs), but it adds instant interest. You can add depth to a room without adding more clutter, a trend that appeals to both minimalists and maximalists alike. Blinds behind drapes, curtains paired with shutters – the possibilities for customization are endless.
