Window treatments aren't anything new. In fact, they date as far back as 3100 BC. That's right, 3100 BC. Treatments looked a lot different back then, often made of animal hide or papyrus. Imagine that? (read more: https://gordonswindowdecor.com/the-history-of-window-coverings/)
Anyways...as is with most things, trends come and go. So, for now, here are the most popular window treatments of 2023:
Roman Shades
A timeless treatment, Roman shades combine elegance with functionality. Offering precise light control, and privacy, it's no wonder these are of the most sought-after window treatment options.
Their clean, tailored look adds sophistication to any room, complementing various interior styles. And, with a wide selection of fabrics, patterns, and colours available, Roman Shades provide an opportunity to personalize your space while also effectively insulating against drafts and controlling temperature.
Roller Shades
We're going to keep rolling with the timeless options here. Enter Roller Shades.
Coming in a wide variety of options (and I mean a wide variety: Single panel (light filtering), dual (blackout), solar, manual, motorized. Not to mention the colour options), Roller Shades continue to be a best-seller in window treatments.
Light-filtering: gently diffuse sunlight, reducing glare and creating a soft ambiance
Blackout: perfect for bedrooms, offering complete darkness and privacy
Solar: designed to block UV rays while preserving your view of the outside
Regardless of which you choose, you'll have the comfort of style and functionality for years to come. Did I mention they are incredibly efficient on energy?
Cellular Shades
Speaking of energy efficient...
Cellular Shades, also known as Honeycomb Shades, have been a staple in modern window coverings for the last 30 years. Their unique design features a series of honeycomb-shaped cells (get it?) that trap air, providing exceptional insulation and energy efficiency.
Cellular Shades are masters at regulating temperatures, keeping rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. And their sleek appearance and wide range of colours make them suitable for various interior styles, creating a tranquil living environment no matter the room.
Shutters
Alright, last one. Window Shutters. The original multitaskers of home decor.
Not only do they add a touch of old-world charm and a dash of architectural elegance, they're also the ultimate boss when it comes to light control. Want to let the sun's rays stream in like they're auditioning for a movie role? Sure thing. Need your room to be as pitch-black as a cat burglar's outfit? Shutters have your back.
And don't get me started on their knack for boosting curb appeal.
Take note, neighbours.
