May 20th, 2010 by HillarysTrends for 2010 Cont’d
May 12th, 2010 by HillarysPatterns are back!
A major new move that’s set to emerge this year is floral and asymmetric patterns. This will not only make feature windows look fabulously striking by creating one seamless look, it means blinds will become an equal consideration, rather than being the plain option to tone in.
Alternatively, two patterns can be mixed together to give an even more individual look. The trend for patterned blinds, will still remain strong, with even more exciting designs to choose from. So, If your looking for a creative way to spice up your home or office why not check out our range of patterned Roman or Roller blinds?
Summer Sheers
2010 will finally mark the death for the net curtain, as made-to-measure sheer blinds become THE hot new look.
Sheer fabrics deliver privacy and style to all types of home – from terraced houses to open plan City Centre apartments with full length windows. The best feature about this sheer trend is that they don’t compromise on views or daylight.
More ranges in great new colours are set to be released at price points that will blow the net out of the window!
Sumptuousness and Shine
Living rooms will continue to move away from clean and clinical, and the opulent trend continues to inject a more sumptuous feel. Roman blinds will become even more luxurious, and structure and textures will be key trends in fabrics that are thick and warm.
There will be lots of gold’s and silvers making an appearance in fabrics to enhance this look further. This look is being tipped as this year’s big seller!
Hope this helps and happy shopping!
