Might Be a Case of Trend Fatigue
Another exercise challenge? More cooking hacks? A slew of fad diets? If you’re feeling like you keep seeing “the new best thing” crop up almost daily, you’re not alone. At Blinds & Designs serving Marin County, we know that plenty of our customers are fed up with the fads that come and go in what seems to be the blink of an eye—and for many that includes interior design trends. As it turns out, these days, people are leaning more on ways to make their homes uniquely “theirs”—or at least to decorate in a way that feels right for them instead of something other people are touting. But what can that look like in practice? Read on to learn more.

Especially with how inflation has been lately, lots of folks want to save money, or at least not waste it. Which means they don’t want to be changing looks frequently—they want a look that will go the distance. People are looking for designs that that will be sustainable over the long haul instead of what’s on people’s mind on TikTok. One easy way to make sure you’ve got something that’s sustainable is to use items that have already proven they’ll stand the test of time: antiques. Using hand-me-downs or inherited pieces from family helps give a home a lived-in, comfortable look, as well as character and a certain storytelling cache. People want products that will last, not ones built so shoddily that they will break in a year or two. So consumers are opting for more of the timeless patterns and colors from yesteryear.
How to Tie Antiques With Your Current Look
For many of our clients, it seems daunting to try to incorporate older things, especially if what they already have is a more contemporary design. Our advice is to let go of a traditional sense of design and instead focus on making your home feel comfortable for you. Make it about you as a person instead of a trend someone else might be following too. That will help you see where to bring in that treasured piece of art or oil lamp.
Adding Window Treatments to Your Lasting Design
Hunter Douglas is the perfect window treatments partner to help you bridge your look into something new yet sustainable. From the timeless Vignette® Modern Roman Shades to the classic Heritance® Wood Shutter, a variety of window fashions can coordinate with the charm of antiques and other eclectic pieces. Be sure to select neutral colors on the windows, so that other elements of the room stand out. Another approach is to layer with drapery or side panels to create a cohesive look.
