Most people have spent more time than ever in their Dallas, TX home, which makes it perfectly understandable that window treatment purchases are at an all-time high. Whether you are working in a home office staring out your windows or running after the kids wondering when you will finally be able to get them back into their daily routines fully, the average person is spending a lot of time at home. This means they are noticing that their custom blinds may be outdated or need to be replaced. If that time has come, it’s time to learn more about the custom blinds of 2021.
Like most things, window treatments tend to fluctuate in style and type every year. If you are thinking about putting your home on the market sometime soon, the type of window treatments you choose have the ability to really add worth to your home. Traditionally, window treatments go with a home when it is sold, so your buyer will likely be paying attention to the windows and considering whether they will need to dress up the home windows or not. Given the hot market right now, spending a bit on custom blinds will really help you get top dollar for your home.
So what’s new for 2021? Well, actually a lot of custom blinds are making the top of the list as people are tired of settling for less than what they want and are willing to pay a bit more to get the right fit. If you choose the right window treatment company you may not even have to pay that much for custom blinds making them the logical choice whenever possible. Everyone has had to settle for less than perfect this year, your home should be one area where you always get what you want. With that in mind, here are some of the top window treatment trends of the year in Dallas, TX.
Dual Shade Systems
People have been layering their window treatments for years. It is not uncommon to see a home that has custom blinds and also features curtains over top. However, now you can skip a step with dual-layered shades which take care of layering for you so that you have a soft appearance that matches your decor while also getting the intense room darkening and energy performance that you want out of your window treatments. These can be great for bedrooms that have an office since you can allow the sunlight to drift in without glare and then pull down the roller shades when it’s time. Some of these shades can even be motorized so that you can control them with a remote making them even more convenient for your home.
Cellular Shades
Another big type of blind for 2021 is the cellular shade. These shades are growing larger in size and scopes with pleats as large as two inches hitting the market over this year. The larger pleat helps to create a uniform, smoother, and stylish appearance for any home. Plus, they are extremely attractive and work to add to the decor of the room by acting as both a privacy shade and a piece of home decor. Plus, they can help block out intense sun rays during the summer which is not a little feat.
Plantation Shutters
Like cellular shades, plantation shutters are also growing in scope this year which is making the patterns even more impressive and allowing them to serve as excellent accent pieces in any room. The fact that these custom binds can be colored to match your home decor makes them an even better choice for rooms that just need a bit more color and spark to really come alive.
While traditionally plantation shutters have 2.5-3.5 inch louvers, this year we are seeing some custom blinds move into the 4.5-inch louvers territory. The end result is fewer lines and dramatic color panels that really make areas of the home or business pop. In addition, hidden tilt rods are being incorporated into the modern plantation shutters which help remove the bar from the front so that the shutters almost look like part of the wall. Simply use a remote if you choose motorization or tilt the louver with your hand as needed to access windows. One bonus of these window treatments is that you don’t need to worry about any other curtain or detail once installed since they act as the focal point of the room on their own.
Real Wood Blinds
People love the way real wood looks, which isn’t a big surprise given how many ranches are spread through the large state. Real wood blinds are very popular because not only do they help complement the natural wood grain of hardwood or baseboards when matched cleverly, they are sturdy and weather resistant. Wood is less likely to fade than plastic which makes them an attractive and cost-effective solution. If you are worried about high humidity in your home, there are also many faux wood blinds that offer the same visual effect with the ability to withstand moisture a bit differently.
Motorized Treatments
While we have already mentioned motorized options, it pays to take a closer look at these custom blinds that can help you move your home closer to becoming a smart home. Home automation tools are gaining in popularity every day, so why not choose custom blinds that help boost the power of your smart home. Blinds that are motorized often have Smart Home activation options when integrated with Amazon Echo or Google Home which means you can simply ask Alexa to open your blinds in the morning and relax in bed while it happens.
