2016 – The year of changes. There were major situational changes seen almost everywhere. From the Mac Donald’s menu to the Immigration System changes, 2016 made a mark in almost every phase of the world.

Window décor options were no exception; they too underwent a makeover. Here are some reflections on the same:-

  • Automation and Motorization

All well-decorated homes today need to be updated. The updates are applicable in any sector and can definitely include your window treatment options. The only consideration in this case, should be the flawless blending of the covers with the décor. Modern homes form an artwork of all beautiful things brought together in one place. With advancement of the internet, most people have now been able to customize window treatment options in never-before-seen ways.

Motorization is one such fashion-gear brought about by the latest easy to use home décor lovers. More and more people are now bidding adieu to dangling cords, and making way for the latest Powerview Motorization techniques. Coming from the house of Hunter Douglas, this facility has transformed window covering operations.

Metallic Detailing Work

After years of absence, brass is finally making a comeback in all homes. All set to rock in cool colors like copper, rose gold and stainless steel – these are aimed to bring a new definition to your homes. Eye catchy metal finishes are yet another great option to elevate the furnishings to something glam and never seen before. Fabrics featuring the metal threads, woven by a pattern, provide the subdued motifs a range of fun and individuality. From traditional to modern, hardware in metallic finishes fit almost every decorating style.

  • Environment Friendly Design

Environmental stability and stewardship are other important criteria’s for customers who seek to evaluate the products for their homes. While shopping window treatments, any eco-conscious homeowner will seek treatments featuring low chemical emissions, increased energy efficiency and are constructed from recycled yet sustainable materials. This environment friendly design is constructed with wood from the many sustainable forests which help boost your energy.

  • Architectural Features

There is a noted design shift in 2016 with the decor now being steered towards the more streamlined lining environment which does not really give your home any character. In other words, in most cases architectural features of a room come to compliment more of its design features, leaving lesser and lesser space for furnishings to deliver the decorative features on trend.

The most notable feature in this case is the resurgence of Cornice boards, to add in architectural detail to a plain window casing. These might not be the grandiose designs, but this is what most people are accustomed to seeing in ‘stately period homes’.

With major shifts in the diorama of décor, homes in Toronto have started looking uber-stylish. Window décor bears a mark on all of this too. No matter which road you take you are sure to be hit by the fashion frisks of 2016.
