Window treatments are more than just a finishing touch. They’re a key design element in your home’s character, comfort, and functionality. We like to stay ahead of the curve and bring our clients the most stylish, innovative, and practical window solutions for their home. Let’s take a look at the top trends in window treatments, featuring Hunter Douglas Silhouettes, motorized shades for windows, elegant drapes, and we will take a look at the art of layering.
Hunter Douglas Silhouettes®: Soft, Elegant Light Control
The Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shadings continue to dominate the design world and for good reason. These luxurious treatments combine the elegance of sheer fabric with adjustable fabric vanes while offering the ultimate in light diffusion and privacy. They are ideal for modern and transitional homes. Silhouettes allow sunlight to gently filter into your space while preserving a soft, airy ambiance.
Why Austin homeowners love them:
- Perfect balance of privacy and natural light
- UV protection for furniture and floors
- Sleek and sophisticated aesthetic
- Available in a wide range of fabrics and colors
Hunter Douglas Motorized Shades For Windows: Smart Living Made Stylish
Smart homes are no longer a luxury; they are becoming the norm. That’s why we love motorized window treatments, especially Hunter Douglas’ PowerView® Automation. They are continuing to skyrocket in popularity. With just a tap on your smartphone, remote, or a voice command to your smart home system, you can adjust your motorized shades for windows from anywhere.
Top benefits of motorized shades:
- Increase in energy efficiency with scheduled automation
- Enhanced security while you’re away
- Seamless integration with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit
- Whisper-quiet, precise operation
If you’re designing or renovating your Austin home, motorized shades offer a modern, high-tech touch that elevates both convenience and home value.
Drapes: Luxe Layers and Bold Statements
Drapes are making a strong comeback. We aren’t talking about the heavy, outdated drapes; we are talking elegant, tailored drapes that can often be used in combination with other treatments for a layered, custom look. Think organic linens, rich velvets, and subtle patterns that add depth and dimension to your room.
Current drapery trends:
- Floor-to-ceiling panels for a grand, elongating effect
- Soft neutrals and earth tones for a serene vibe
- Layering over shades for visual and functional richness
- Decorative hardware in matte black, brass, or brushed nickel
Layering Window Treatments: The Designer’s Secret Weapon
Want your windows to look professionally styled and perform optimally? Layering is the answer. By combining different types of window treatments. Silhouettes with drapes or roller shades with Roman shades can help you achieve a blend of style that not only offers flexibility, it also helps with insulation.
Benefits of layering:
- Greater control over light and privacy
- Improved thermal insulation (ideal for Austin’s hot summers!)
- Enhanced sound absorption
- Visual texture and depth
