New Window Styles and Home Trends for 2017 in Minneapolis
This time of year is the perfect time to update your home design and window treatments with the hottest styles of 2017. From painting your living room, to buying new window treatments or changing out accessories, we have the scoop on what’s hot in 2017 for home design and window treatment trends in Minneapolis.
Duskier Tones & Pastels
Both pastels and duskier colors are growing in popularity while clear, vibrant colors are on the wane. Shades of gray, blue and green are very popular in addition to muted hues of pink, blue, and yellow. Many shades on the palette are evocative of nature from sky blue to “Greenery”, Pantone’s color of the year. Neutral colors are still found throughout the color palette with whites, grays and darker beiges balancing out the other shades.
Painting most of your walls in a neutral color and then adding in pops of color with feature walls, accessories, and small furnishings might be one of the easiest ways to add a spark to the color in your home. Then it’s a breeze to highlight the latest colors in your home today and swap the accessories out when color schemes switch after some time.

When considering new window treatments, go with ones in neutral tones like Polywood® plantation shutters in white or a wood-like stain. These will go beautifully with any style or color scheme and can stay in place if you swap room colors down the line.
Textures
Natural textures aren’t going anywhere this year. Fibers in vogue include weaved material in rugs or baskets, rustic wood, and twine. You’ll see these textures showing up in new places such as on furniture, headboards, and conversation pieces. Breathe new life into an old belonging with a small project like wrapping a frame in twine or making an interest piece from old wood.
Incorporating texture into your house through window treatments add another degree of interest to your décor. Reclaimed wood shutters are made using historic, knotted wood that was once part of fences or homes. The wood has unique knots and grain lines that bring an organic feel to your house. Other window coverings that bring texture into your home are Ovation® wood shutters or shades made of natural woven material.
Metals
Furniture, hardware, and accessories that incorporate varying metals are popping up across Minneapolis. Gold, nickel, and brass are especially stylish now. You can add metals to your décor by adding industrial, rustic, or older pieces such as stools, chairs, or light fixtures that are built from metals. Also, don’t hesitate to utilize nickel or pewter in your sinks or cabinetry for a more fashion-forward look.
Barn door shutters and sliding barn doors are a great way to get the visual benefit of metals and add a streamlined or homespun look to your space. Barn doors are built of solid wood and are available in a wide array of hardware such as wheels, sliding tracks, and door handles made from steel.
