Matte Finishes
The high-shine, glossy appearance popular over the past few decades is losing favor as sleek matte finishes become increasingly popular among homeowners. Low-luster stains and paint colors won’t compete with other furnishing and provide an understated elegance to blinds and shutters. Homeowners worried a matte finish won’t provide enough visual interest should choose stains that emphasize the grain of the wood for a beautiful rich look.

This year, color trends are favoring earthy pastel hues like blush pink, lavender and greenery, Pantone’s 2017 Color of the Year.
