Vertical Blinds Are More & More Popular

By Dave Coleman

Vertical Blinds Take On New Look

Duette Vertiglide
Duette® Vertiglide™Honeycomb Shades

As people look to treat their patio and sliding doors, it’s easier and easier for them to find just the right style, texture, color, and vane size. Plus, they give any room the illusion of having a higher ceiling and nice clean line, which is making vertical blinds grow in popularity.

At Windows to the World serving northeastern Pennsylvania, we offer all of the Hunter Douglas vertical blinds and shades, including the products below. [Read more…]

Pirouette® Window Shadings

At Windows to the World in Mountain Top PA, many of our customers are highly concerned about the level of privacy their window treatments can offer. Especially these days, when homes are built closer and closer together, knowing that neighbors might have a straight view into a home is disconcerting. However, people don’t want to lose out on natural light. That’s why we’re happy to show our customers that, with today’s wide variety of window treatments and installation options, they can have privacy without completely blocking your source of natural light.

2016 Forecasted Colors Announced

By Dave Coleman

Rose & SerenityLast month, Windows to the World in Northeastern Pennsylvania introduced you to Pantone’s Minion Yellow color. Now, we’re just as excited to introduce you to the 2016 Colors of the Year. Rose Quartz and Serenity will be making a calm and peaceful entrance to the trending forecasted colors. Learn about them below, and if you’d like to add these colors to your home, talk to one of our trained consultants for more information.

Who Chooses the Forecasted Colors?

The Color Marketing Group (CMG) meets twice a year to forecast color in both residential and contract worlds. Before they meet, they must study past trends and forecast future ones. As the leading universal system for specific color, PANTONE is the reference tool for all industries when they work to match the forecasted hues.

Why Do We Need Forecasted Colors?

Any industry that produces a product for fashion, home furnishings, hospitality, and more follow forecasted trends. From the clothes you wear to the car you drive, the annual forecasted color has had an impact.

Cultural Factors That Influence Colors

Color is not a designer’s whim. Color trends come from where we are, where we want to go, and how people are feeling or not feeling. Other factors come into play, such as the Economy. When the economy is strong, we see a trend toward rich, deep, and vibrant colors. When it is weak, we see more light colors and soft/safe colors. Also, when our country is at war, color has trended to become safe, soft, and practically nonexistent. Major events such as the Presidential election and the Olympics influence color trends—often to softer and safe colors.

Pantone® Matching System

Pantone Matching System (PMS) is what forecasters use to know the exact color that has been forecasted. The Pantone color numbers for this year’s Colors of the Year are:

  • Serenity—Pantone color 15-3919
  • Rose Quartz—Pantone color 13-1520

Look for these numbers to be sure you’ve got the right colors this year.
