Floral Window Shades and Other Popular Prints

In interior design, window treatments present a unique palette in homes that can hold and highlight prints or patterns with aplomb. They can be styled to be a design focal point in a room, used as a rich yet neutral backdrop, or employed as a unifying element to tie design together throughout large or multi-room spaces. So, don’t be afraid to harness the unique power of window shades in your home to amplify and unify your style. And what’s in style now is installing window treatments with fun, funky, or bold prints. Specifically, floral window shades or treatments with a botanical motif are popular. So are geometric patterns, especially when pulled from nature.

Floral Prints

Floral prints for window shades are one of those domestic styles that have endured for generations because, quite simply, flowers are beautiful. However, that’s not to say that floral window shades coming out in 2021 are exactly like those of your grandma’s house in 1950. Like many trends that last, floral prints have evolved overtime to stay relevant with contemporary trends and modern design styles. Often times, modern florals play with color, proportion, or drawing style to keep it feeling fresh. Expect to see floral prints with eye-catching color palettes, oversized flowers, or done in abstract drawings styles emerging as popular trends for floral window shades.

Botanical or Leaf Prints

Flowers aren’t the only natural element popping up in window treatments trends.Leaf or botanical prints are also growing in popularity. Botanical prints, like floral window shades, add the feel of the outdoors to a room but in a stylish and controlled manner. Also, like floral prints, botanical prints for modern interior design play with classic design aspects (like color or drawing style) to make traditional elements feel renewed and exciting without losing the essence of the natural elements.

Geometric Patterns

Nature is full of surprisingly precise geometric patterns, including spirals, honeycombs (hexagons), and, specifically in flowers, the Fibonacci sequence. It is these organic patterns that are becoming more popular for window treatments. Geometric prints often use bold line work and repetitious elements to create striking patterns that work on large or small windows. And though geometric prints can sound like a very technical or impersonal style, by using organic geometric shapes and patterns you can soften this aesthetic for treatments that, like floral window shades, add a modern, natural motif to a room.

Atwood’s unique watercolor and hand-stamping techniques give her fabrics an organic flow that works wonderfully well at modernizing classic design elements and highlighting the natural beauty of floral, botanical, and geometric designs.
