2016 Window Style Trends: The Roman Shade

Roman Shades

Manufacturers have been reinventing the traditional, relaxed Roman Shade in a variety of new and attractive styles. The range of looks possible with today’s Roman Shades is practically limitless! From the loosely constructed, casual feeling of the Roman shade we’ve always known, to more crisply tailored versions in bold, graphic patterns, Roman Shades are on the style forefront for 2016.

Lovely Sheers

Particularly popular this season are selections in sheer, neutral colored, natural fabrics; wonderful for dressing up or dressing down any space. Notice how the Roman Shades in sheer taupe, shown in the photo at left, bring an updated neoclassical look, with a modestly soft, feminine appeal, to the kitchen in the  the sample in the photo above. What a beautiful way to welcome the day!

Elegant & Unstuffy

If you love the look of an elegant room without all the pretense and stuffiness of elaborate, heavily pleated, overly dramatic window treatments, take a look at the variation shown in the photo here. You can see how well the relaxed nature of the Roman Shade works in the room - simply pretty, not pretentious. The attractive damask pattern in muted tones that quietly echo the primary hues of the room, is a great choice for this space.

Crisp, Bold & Vibrant

Finally, take a look at the crisp Roman Shade shown in the photo above. The striking pattern, cool colors and crisp fabric make this kitchen feel vibrant and energized. Talk about an updated contemporary twist! This is a look that would work well in a range of style aesthetics, from modern to transitional styled homes.

Just Add Shutters for Holiday Charm

You’ve heard the song, “Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays…” Or how about this one:

“There's a happy feeling nothing In the world can buy

As they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things

We remember all through our lives”.

It’s true. There are certain images that conjure up warm, cherished memories, just like that "picture print by Currier and Ives”, mentioned in the song.

A Classic Dickensian Christmas

Take the stately Victorian home above, for example. It just looks like Christmas, doesn’t it? Even minimally decorated, it’s filled with the details that we associate with the holiday. In fact, it looks like Dickens himself could easily walk out the door at any moment, doesn’t it? But would we feel the same way about the building without the intricate gables, carved columns, and idyllic shutters?

Christmas Charm

This precious, Americana-feeling cottage dressed up for the holiday with classic red bowed wreaths and candy cane striped columns, oozes Christmas charm. But imagine the same house without the black shutters attached to the windows on either side of the chimney. Amazing what a difference it makes, isn’t it?

Making Memories

On a completely different note, the shutters on this contemporary home provide the perfect backdrop for these strikingly simple wreaths. This attractive pairing adds stylish holiday charm that would be hard to achieve without the shutter accents. Definitely a memory in the making!
