New Window Treatment Trends to Try in 2025

There aren’t many things in your home that can truly transform a space like window treatments. This year, there are new trends hitting the scene that will make your window treatments both functional and stylish, especially with experts to tailor-fit them for your home. Here’s a roundup of some of the hottest trends you won’t want to miss:

1. Tech-Savvy Windows: The Rise of Automation and Motorization

Automation is everywhere in today’s digital age —and your window treatments are no exception. Automation and motorization are rapidly becoming the go-to choice for homeowners seeking convenience and sophistication. There’s no surprise why: The convenience of automation to make your home even smarter is hard to resist! 

Imagine adjusting your shades or drapes with just a tap on your phone or through voice commands with a smart assistant. Motorized shades allow for effortless control, whether you want to adjust the light streaming in or create the perfect ambiance. You can even program your shades to open and close at specific times, offering both security and energy efficiency. 

2. Customization and Bespoke Treatments

One of the standout trends for 2025 is the move toward customization and bespoke treatments. It makes sense why homeowners are investing in their windows: Hiring professionals to custom design and fit your windows means that you get window treatments that fit your personal style and unique space. 

This trend allows for a tailored experience, from fabric choices to colors, patterns, and finishes. Custom window treatments ensure that your home is one-of-a-kind, offering a sense of luxury and individuality. Plus, you get the convenience of leaving a house project to someone else!

3. Drapes That Bring the Drama

If you love a touch of the dramatic, eye-catching drapes are a must-try. These bold, statement-making window treatments can elevate the elegance of any room. Think luxurious fabrics that sweep the floor, rich colors, and voluminous folds. Whether paired with sleek modern furniture or set against a minimalistic backdrop, dramatic drapes bring instant sophistication and make any space feel high-end.

One of the best parts about using drapes to add visual interest to your home is their versatility. From ripplefold to pinch pleat, you’re sure to find a style that fits your home’s aesthetic. 

4. Sheer Fabrics for Soft, Diffused Light

The trend toward sheer fabrics is growing as more homeowners seek a softer, more natural light in their homes. Sheer window treatments gently diffuse the sunlight, creating a warm, welcoming glow without sacrificing privacy. These fabrics are versatile and can be used on their own for a light and airy feel or layered with heavier curtains for added depth and control.

5. Clean Lines and Simple Silhouettes

If your style is minimalistic, you’re in luck! Minimalism isn’t going anywhere in 2025. Clean lines and simple silhouettes are a major trend in window treatments this year. This style is all about understated elegance. Think sleek, straight lines with no frills or excess fabric. Roller shades and Roman shades are great choices for this look, offering a streamlined aesthetic that complements modern interiors.

6. Floor-to-Ceiling Treatments

For a bold, dramatic look, consider going for floor-to-ceiling window treatments. These longer-than-usual designs create an illusion of height and make rooms appear more expansive. Not only do they add visual appeal to your rooms, they also provide ample light control and privacy. There are plenty of ways to add this trend to your home, including shades and drapes. This trend works well with both modern and traditional interiors, and your window treatment specialist can help you choose which treatment suits your space and needs best.

7. Maximalism 

While we’re seeing modern, minimalistic trends in 2025, maximalism is still alive and well. There are many ways to add some statement-making window treatments to your home, including: 

• Jewel Tones: Rich, vibrant colors are making a comeback, and jewel tones are at the forefront. Think deep emerald greens, sapphire blues, and amethyst purples. These luxurious hues add personality and warmth to any room, perfect for making a statement or adding just a touch of color to a neutral space. Jewel-toned window treatments are especially stunning when paired with natural wood tones or metallic accents.
• Don’t Shy from Patterns: Gorgeous prints are an easy way to add some personality into your home. You can go traditional with your pattern or pick a bold and eye-catching choice like plaid, modern deco, botanicals, or stripes.. Our Inspired Collection offers a stunning selection of drapes, shades, blinds, and bedding, featuring exclusive fabrics and colors to make adding printed window treatments to your home easy.

8. Biophilic Design and Sustainability

On trend this year? Keeping our planet happy. With this trend as a major player in this year’s designs, natural roller, cellular shades, and woven wood shades are rising in popularity. Made from eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, jute, and even recycled materials, these shades not only add a warm, earthy feel to your space but also align with the growing trend toward sustainability. 

Their natural textures and tones create a soothing, organic atmosphere, while their environmentally conscious construction helps reduce your carbon footprint. That’s a win-win.

9. Adding Interest with Different Textures

Sometimes the best way to add just the right touch of visual interest to elevate your windows. No matter what your style, there are textures that you can incorporate to complement your home. Textures worth considering include:  

• Plush fabrics like velvet to add elegance and color, including help with indoor climate control
• Textural surfaces like linen or fabrics that have a mix of materials are perfect to go beyond basic 
• Natural materials like bamboo or wood are neutral without being boring and add a sense of calm to any space
• Consider mixing your metals! It may have once been a taboo, but mixing metals like brass or matte black is on-trend and can be tastefully done to add some signature style to your rooms
