25 Window Treatment Trends for 2025

Who knew window treatments would be so exciting? Gone are the days when they were just a practical necessity. Now, they're a stylish statement piece that combines modern technology with classic designs in your home. As we look to the future, designers keep pushing boundaries to create treatments that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Let's take a closer look at the top window treatment trends for 2025.

Materials and Fabrics

As interior design evolves, so too do the materials and fabrics used for window treatments. These days, modern trends lean towards natural textures like silk fabrics, jacquard, and velvet drapes. 

Silk Fabrics

We love silk fabrics for their shiny appearance, soft drape, and luxurious feel. As a natural fiber, silk is smooth, breathable, and holds vibrant colors really well. You can use them as full-length curtains or light sheers to let in soft light. Silk is versatile and will fit beautifully with any interior style.

Jacquard

Jacquard fabrics beautify windows with woven patterns that give a rich, textured look. Their patterns stand out because, rather than being printed, the patterns weave through the threads of the fabric itself. Jacquard fabrics last longer and work well for curtains or drapes.

Velvet Drapes

Velvet is a luxurious fabric known for its soft, plush texture and rich, deep colors. They make a striking statement when you use them as drapes. They easily call attention to themselves in minimalist spaces and complement more ornate interiors. You can find them in a wide range of colors and patterns, and they sure know how to add that touch of drama to any room.

Sheer Fabrics

Many people love Sheer fabrics for their transparency. They provide a delicate, airy feel to your windows and allow natural light to filter through while providing privacy. Try pairing them with solid-colored drapes to create a bold contrast and quick shifts from light and airy to dark and warm.

Textured Fabrics

Textured fabrics add depth and character to your window treatments. Different textures come in fabrics, like linen, tweed, or chenille, and they all offer their own version of style and tactile contrast. Use them as curtains or drapes, especially to create a balance between minimalist and bold designs.

Styles and Designs

Choosing the right window treatments can feel like browsing through the aisles of a massive bookstore: so many possibilities, each one having its own appeal. The ideal window covering strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetics. Here are the styles that you will see trending in 2025.

Minimalist Designs

Minimalist window treatment designs emphasize simplicity and practicality without being too flashy. They usually come with simple designs and neutral colors that allow light to enter without causing any clutter. Common choices include panel track blinds, bamboo shades, or linen curtains—all of which create a calm and open atmosphere for you and your home’s overall style.

Geometric Patterns

Geometric patterns provide more appeal to people who prefer a contemporary flair. They are curtains, shades, or blinds that have sharp shapes like triangles, hexagons, or other abstract designs. These designs bring a fresh, artistic vibe to your room. They are, of course, ideal for modern, eclectic homes.

Modern Valances

Valances are making a stylish comeback with a modern twist. Instead of the frilly, ornate styles of the past, today’s valances come with shiny edges and sleek-looking fabrics. They add a polished, sophisticated frame to windows without being too bulky or overpowering.

Layered Looks

Layering window treatments is a stylish and practical way to enhance the look and function of your windows. When you combine two or more types of treatments—like curtains, blinds, shades, or valances—you create a more dynamic and polished effect for your space. This approach allows you to customize different levels of light control, privacy, and insulation while adding depth and texture to your decor.

Botanical Prints

Botanical prints grow in popularity as more people reconnect with nature to transform the look of their homes. They create a fresh, organic feel that works well with any room. Use them with neutral or natural colors to keep the earthy prints as the center of attention.

Functionality and Technology

Window treatments have come a long way. Thanks to new technology, modern options now offer energy savings, smart controls, and better insulation. Smart window treatments are a great choice, and here are some popular options.

Motorization

Motorized window shades and custom window valance

Motorized window treatments are definitely at the top of the list for window treatment trends in 2025. Think of how cool it is to open and close your window covering at any time with the touch of a button or the sound of your voice. 

Studies by the National Institute of Industrial Health conclude that waking up to alarms affects our bodies by causing high blood pressure and increased heart rates. With motorization, you can schedule your window coverings to open in the morning as a natural wake-up call. Waking up with the morning sunlight has tremendous benefits for the body.

Apart from bedroom benefits, they are perfect for ceiling-to-floor window coverings and high windows as they are harder to reach. When you upgrade to the real deal (motorization), all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy luxury with convenience.

Blackout Curtains

Blackout curtains block out nearly all light. This feature makes them perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, or any space that needs complete darkness. They help you with temperature regulation and provide an extra layer of noise reduction for a comfortable environment.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are a top choice for energy efficiency. Their unique honeycomb design provides special insulation that helps maintain the consistency of indoor temperature. This way, you reduce the energy spent on heating and cooling, leading to lower energy bills.

Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains

Floor-to-ceiling curtains make a bold design statement that gives any room an elevated feel. They create an illusion of higher ceilings and make rooms appear larger. They are very luxurious and offer practical benefits like improved insulation and light control. And they can be paired with other treatments like sheer curtains, blinds, or valances to achieve a layered, designer look.

Convertible Shades

Convertible shades are a sleek and versatile window treatment that gives you control over the amount of light and privacy in your space. They come with adjustable panels or vanes that tilt or rotate when you want to let in natural light while maintaining coverage. They are ideal for home offices, living rooms, and bedrooms, and their stylish, modern look blends seamlessly with various interior designs. This flexibility makes them both functional and aesthetically pleasing for many use cases.

Color Trends

Colors have never been more personal than they will be in 2025. Choosing the colors that fill your home is usually a matter of personal preference and style—but when it comes to your windows, there are a few hues that stand out among the lot. These are our top picks.

Classic Whites

White remains timeless for window treatments, offering a clean, fresh look that works in any room. It brightens your spaces, beautifies natural light, and complements nearly any color palette. You’ll never go wrong with white.

Earthy Tones

Warm, earthy tones like terracotta, olive green, and soft browns stay on trend. They create a cozy, grounded feel that brings a sense of calm and comfort. They bring peace to people who like a relaxed, organic vibe.

Deep Jewel Tones

Rich, saturated colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, and deep burgundy stand out to those who like bold, luxurious window treatments. These tones add a sense of depth and elegance that make them ideal for statement pieces. Use them to create dramatic focal points.

Soft pastel colors like blush pink, lavender, and mint green remain popular for their soothing, airy effect. These shades try not to announce themselves, making them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or spaces designed for relaxation.

Metallic Accents

Metallic Accents come in a wide variety of colors, including gold, silver, and chrome. They can be woven into fabrics, used as accents in curtain rods, or integrated into blinds and shades for a modern, stylish look. They reflect light beautifully and pair well with both contemporary and traditional décor. Use them to bring depth and visual interest to your windows while maintaining a sleek and luxurious feel.

Monochromatic Color Schemes

Minimalists love monochromatic colors. It's about using different shades of the same color to create harmony and cohesion in your room. This approach works particularly well with neutral or pastel tones, which provide depth without overwhelming your room.

Timeless Elegance

There are specific classic and timeless window treatment styles that have stood the test of time. They complement a large variety of interior design schemes, and we love them for their elegance and practicality. Here are some of the most enduring window treatment styles that never go out of fashion.
