Embark upon a new design adventure with the hottest window treatments trends of 2016.

Go Organic
Why go limit your organic eco-friendly initiatives to just food? Give your new window treatment an organic flair as well. All it involves is a bit of bamboo and matchstick. The best thing about these shades is that they diffuse light so you can see outside while still enjoying your personal privacy.
- No Color Is Too Bold
When exploring all of your new window treatment options, don't be afraid to use lots of color. The old idea of sticking with neutral colors in every room will not only show your age, it will darn near carbon date you. Safe colors that are light and match everything are just that: safe. You want to show confidence in the design scheme you chose. Do not be afraid to be bold.
- Live Up Luxury
Maybe bold color isn't quite your thing. Why not try exploring unorthodox material options? Velvets, damasks, and silks are all the rage this year. The fabric is durable, plus the panels will last a long time, so you will definitely get your money's worth out of the upgrade.
- Simple, Yet Stylish Bamboo
Break away from traditional industrial hardware and things that sparkle. Maintain a more natural feel with bamboo shades. They match just about any color paint and they're less expensive than luxury fabrics. Another perk to upgrading to bamboo shades is that they’re environmentally conscientious.
- Mix and Match
For a softer look that lets in more light than pure luxury fabric why not consider using a blend of velvet and grosgrain? Similar to silk, grosgrain is a simple alternative for those that show a bit of luxurious flair but without being too ornate. The blend of velvet gives some color without being too overbearing.
- Go with Lines
Whether they are checkered, straight horizontal or vertical, adding a window treatment with lines is a great way to make a room appear clean and inviting. Plus it adds a more modern appearance to the room.
- Prints That Impress
For 2016, bold print is a great option. Vibrant patterns and geometric patterns offer a youthful approach to window treatments. If the old world luxury look is not for you, why not explore what geometry has to offer instead?
- Gorgeous Silk
Always a luxury fabric, silk does not have to be a single color. Look for silk embroidered patterns, plaids, and jacquard panels.
- Go High Tech
Want to give your room a real upgrade? Why not install some technology? Many rooms now have remote controlled window treatment options for blinds or shades, which makes everyone's life a little easier.
- Be Health-Conscious
Upgrade to an anti-microbial window treatment. There are even anti-fungal traits that can be woven directly into each of the non-toxic dyed panels. If you happen to be one of the many that suffer from allergies, you can even get panels that are stain-resistant and mold- and mildew-resistant.
