With this summer season fading very quickly it’s time to start thinking about fall and all the new trends that come along with it! There are many new things to focus on this season but I decided to just cover a few including window treatments and fabric. Fabricut is coming out with new prints this season that are more graphic and the prints are on a larger scale. There will also be brighter colors and combos of blue, red and orange together that will make a bold, yet relaxing statement. Being “green” is something that is continuously getting more and more popular and Fabricut has come out with the new Crypton Color Studio upholstery books which are made of all “green” materials. These fabrics are made of recycled polyester and contain no harmful chemicals or metals in the finishing process. All of these fabrics will be high performance and easy to clean.

Because these materials are “green” that does not take away from the beauty of the fabric but enhances it, all of these materials are very elegant and soft. Fabricut has also come out with new trims including the Cosmopolitan collection. This collection has a great color palate and they give a much cleaner look, the cord is also much smaller and that is something that designers are always asking for.
Moving on to window treatments, Hunter Douglas has many new items launching this season including new Design Studio Roman Shades, Designer Roller Shades and NewStyle Hybrid Shutters. The Design Studio Roman shades will only be offered at the Gallery and Showcase dealers. These will come in four shade styles; batten front, batten back, flat and hobble and this will offer 320 color and fabric combinations. Valances are also available with the Roman Shades but they can stand alone as well. When considering these shades keep in mind no vertical seams up to 96” wide, linings will be a minimum of 103” wide and all fabrics, trims, linings and tapes will be offered by the yard. Also, the Designer Roller Shades, Designer Screen Shades and Alustra Woven Texture Roller Shades will be offered with the Hunter Douglas PowerRise 2.0 Platinum Technology. This technology will provide a battery operated shade and there will be twelve new fabric styles to the Harmony program for the Roller and Skyline products. NewStyle Hybrid Shutters look like a freshly painted wood shutter that also have the strength and stability of advanced modern day materials. For these shutters there is also a new UltraGrain finish that replicates the color and texture of real stained wood. The new colors include Golden Oak, Warm Cherry, Amaretto and Bahama Brown.
