The Austin Window Fashions team has updated this article to reflect today’s top window treatment trends for 2025.
Half way through 2025, and we’re still noticing new home decor trends emerging. We’re eager to share the top 5 window treatment trends you’ll see this year. These trends are more than just passing fads. They perfectly blend functionality and style and are sure to become a staple in your home for years to come.
A Statement at the Window
We always say window coverings are like the art for your windows. Since windows are right at eye level you want there to be that little “wow” moment when you walk into a room. This year, the trend is all about fabrics that stand out. Bold prints or rich, luxurious drapes that add height and bring a lot of personality to the room. The key is to make your windows the focal points to show off your desired style.
Organic Materials
Homeowners look for environmentally friendly options anyway they can. Because of this, organic materials are incredibly popular. Linen, jute, and bamboo are a few of the natural material options that bring effortless beauty to any room. Take a look at our Woven Wood Shades. They are sure to add depth and a beautiful natural color palette to your home.
Getting Technical
Technology advancements are revolutionizing every area of our lives, including interior design. Homeowners are embracing motorized shutters, shades, draperies and blinds due to their convenience. Hunter Douglas is known for their innovation, and it shines bright with their Motorized Blinds. You can set your own schedule to their effortless operation depending on your life and preferences. This increases home security and decreases energy costs. In addition, solar powered motorization and rechargeable batteries are available to fit preinstalled motorized shades.
Sheer Joy
Wondering where sheer fabrics fit into the window treatment trends of 2025? Well, the best part of windows is how they let in natural light, warmth, and exterior views. Sheer fabrics enhance the beauty by protecting you from the elements, but maintaining the experience. They reduce glare, but allow the light to cascade where it’s welcome. The outside view is still seen, but your privacy is still intact during daytime. Even more availability for customization is available with the dual shade features. Our homeowners enjoy the horizontal sheer shades just as much as the vertical options, such as Luminette Privacy Sheers.
Love to Layer
Combining fabrics brings timeless style and function to any home. Layering draperies and shades at the window together adds depth while offering light control, energy efficiency, and privacy. Our window covering designers will be happy to help you select the base shades or blinds that will provide the first layer–adjustable control for your day-to-day needs. From there, the side draperies can adjust fully, or remain at the edges to frame the windows. The drapery fabrics you choose will coordinate with the other window coverings and design elements in the room. Floor to ceiling draperies are known to add height and a sophisticated look at the window. Discover more about ways to layer draperies beautifully.
Staying Sustainable
Sustainability is at the forefront of homeowners’ minds today. People seek products that are energy efficient, durable and shield their homes from natural elements. Hunter Douglas is a name that many homeowners flock to. This is because they create great window treatments that offer all of the items that homeowners are looking for. Plus, they’re Greenguard Certified.
Window Treatment Trends: Versatility
When all is said and done, this year’s window treatment trends that are top notch are the ones with versatility. Being able to cover more than one solution is what we’re looking for. It’s not ideal to have to choose between light filtering and room darkening. We want it all. The right atmosphere in your home will mean different things to different people.
