Adding new Color with Fabric Shades near Raleigh, NC
Soft, stylish, and able to control color with the insightful use of textiles, fabric shades are more than a window covering - they are an incredibly important tool for successful interior design. Not only do fabric shades control natural light within a space, a keystone element of design, they are also able to add color in subtle or bold ways to strengthen the color palette and support interior design styles.
At Gotcha Covered Blind and Decorating Center, we carry fabric shades, drapes, blinds, and shutters from Hunter Douglas, and we’re excited to share some of our favorite design choices with you. Read on to learn more!
Adding Color with Fabric Shades
Neutral Textured Bases: Every color scheme is built upon a neutral base. And while the point of using neutral colors is to create a classic backdrop that other design elements can then be developed off of, neutrality doesn’t have to equate to boring when using fabric shades. That’s because fabric adds depth and texture to color, bringing it to life within the space. And when it comes to modern textiles, inventive fabrications of woven wood fabrics make dynamic choices for neutral shades. Woven wood shades have incredible textures thanks to their organic weaves that add visual interest to the treatment and give dimension and variance to their neutral colors.
- Provence® Woven Wood Shades come in a wide variety of styles and neutral tones. Made from woven grasses, jute, reeds, and bamboo, these shades offer great natural texture in a variety of colors and weaves.
Bold Hues: For bold colors, look to the dramatic yet sophisticated style of drapery or Roman shades. These styles of fabric shades use either flowing or sculpted fabric folds to create depth and their upfront designs are able to hold bold or bright hues with aplomb. In the Hunter Douglas collection of fabric shades, there are hundreds of color choices from the Design Studio™ collection in a wide range of different textiles that makes finding and customizing fabric shades to match existing décor easy.
- With designer fabric collections from artists like Seema Krish, and Rebecca Atwood, creating design focal pieces with the extensive and exclusive fabric options is easy and fun.
Color in Pattern: If you want to introduce color through pattern, roller shades offer an excellent canvas to do so. As a flat-fronted fabric shade, roller shades display patterns without seams or distortion so the true print can shine through. This is especially useful for geometric or linear designs.
- Several contemporary artists make designer fabrics for window treatments including Marci Bronkar, whose modern prints have bold patterns that can be showcased seamlessly on Design Studio™ Roller Shades by Hunter Douglas.
Accent Colors: Accent colors add decorative embellishments to the color scheme to make it richer. And there are several unique ways fabric shades can be used to display accent colors. First, the fabrics used on the window treatment can be bought by the yard and crafted into decorative accent pieces like throw pillows that carry an accent color throughout a room.
- There is also the option for custom fabric window toppers, like valances
