What 2023 Will Bring For Blinds And Shutters

Almost everyone who has blinds or shutters in their windows likes them, for they are sturdy, durable, great at keeping the light out or letting it in when needed and – of great importance when everyone is watching their energy bills – good insulators, as wood in particular is.  

All that should appeal to those who like something practical, sensible and robust, which in an age when getting value for money is as important as it ever was has to make sense.

However, those with an eye on design trends as we head towards 2023 may note that practicality is not everything and aesthetics has a big part to play. According to Hackrea, design will be a big thing in the world of blinds and curtains in the months ahead.

Among the trends in blinds it suggests will be in vogue are Roman blinds and roller blinds. The former, it suggests, will never go out of fashion, which is of course the greatest endorsement of all for any kind of furnishings. 

Roller blinds, which offer a more translucent look, are more suited to full length windows, something your local blinds company in Brighton will know all about with all the large Regency-style bay windows in the city. 

As ever, this time of year sees many predictions about the latest fashions and trends in interior design. New Interior Trends also expect 2023 to be one in which Roman blinds and roller blinds are popular, which is worth noting; often a comparison of two sets of predictions of upcoming styles and fashions finds wildly different forecasts.

New Interior Trends also expect some prominent trends to emerge among shutters. This includes eco-friendly materials, the use of bamboo, “unusual horizontal and vertical slots” and the use of “exclusive photo printing” on vertical blinds.

It remains to be seen if all these tips come to fruition, but it seems clear enough that if you are looking for blinds or shutters, aesthetics may play as much a part in your decision as practicality.
