Interior Design Trends We’re Loving for Spring 2022

Spring is nearly here and if you’re anything like us, it’s time to air out the house and do some refreshing! Our friends at Remodeling Magazine recently shared some trends that we think are perfect for spring 2022 – here are our favorite ideas for your spring home refresh:

Outdoor Living

Who doesn’t love a great patio space? With motorized screens powered by Somfy – or even a motorized pergola or awning, you can make your outdoor space more usable! Don’t miss out on the beauty of springtime because of bugs or bright sun – start your patio improvement today. Check out our friend Melissa’s porch for some patio inspiration too.

Down To Earth Colors (and Textures!)

Earth tones are coming back! Bring tranquility and ease into your space with earthy greens, terra cottas and browns. Earth tones make great window treatments because of their versatility. We especially love an earthy woven shade like the ones Sara at Simply Southern Cottage chose.

Functional Offices

As many folks transition to permanent hybrid or fully remote work, functional home office spaces are more important than ever. Ensuring you have a good desk chair, the right height for your monitor and a nice color palette are all important, but are you managing the sun glare from your office windows? Motorized shades are a great option for the home office because you can open and close them with the touch of a button and take care of that pesky screen glare easily – even when you’re on a Zoom call!

Sustainability And Efficiency

Your window treatments can help make your home more sustainable! When you choose thermal curtains, you’re increasing your insulation and helping your home be more efficient. When you automate your shades opening and closing, you’re helping to reduce solar heat gain (or loss).

Motorized shades by Somfy can increase your personal efficiency too – saving you time and energy opening and closing.

Smart Technology

We’re all about integrating Somfy shades and blinds with your existing smart home systems like Crestron and Control4! We integrate with a wide range of products including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. You can set up schedules and scenes and even integrate your shading with Philips Hue, Alarm.com, Brilliant and more. Join the smart home evolution today with Somfy!

Aging In Place

As the older generation heads to retirement,  many people are looking to stay in their homes rather than moving to retirement communities. Motorized shading can help you retire and age in your current home! Reaching high windows or getting up and down to adjust the lighting when you watch TV can become more difficult as we age, so get ahead and motorize your window treatments. Motorization means you can schedule your shades to open and close, so there’s no need to remember. Or, use a remote control, smart phone, or voice commands to open and close window treatments so there’s no need to risk falls getting up and down to close the curtains. 

Health And Wellness

Natural light has a big impact on your mood and mental health, especially as the days get longer and we move from winter into spring. Make sure you’re flooding your space with as much light as possible when you choose motorized roller shades. Getting more light means more vitamin D, which plays an important role in mood and immunity function.

You can also improve your sleep by blocking out all the light from outside with motorized blackout curtains – more complete darkness can help you rest better.

Outside of the light benefits, having window treatments you love is a mood booster too. Improve your home and life today with new window treatments.
