The current trends in window treatments are more simple, elegant and timeless.  A return to simple panels where the fabric speak for itself is a popular trend.  This trend will stand the test of time.  To update the look of panels consider a new header treatment such as a butterfly pleat, grometts or the new ripple fold.  The mantra “less is more” is a good one to follow when designing window treatments.  Take notice of the window treatments in your next home decor magazine.  Some of my favorites include House Beautiful, Traditional Home and Southern Accents.

Green design is everwhere and always a consideration when addressing window treatments.  Designers pay close attention to creating designs that maximize energy efficiencies and use ”green” materials.  Organic fabrics such as cotton, silk and linen fabrics rather than man-made materials are the preferred materials of choice. 

Another consideration is to incorporate motorization especially on windows that are hard to reach such as over a bathtub for privacy or on a second story in a family for TV watching where sunlight and glare are issues.  The use of batteries eliminates hard wiring so these can be used in most applications.
