More Looks We Love (That Might Be Right for You)
In Part 1, we explored the color shifts, styling cues, and smart innovations defining this year’s window treatment trends. However, the design world never stops evolving—and neither do the details that elevate a space. If you’re craving even more inspiration (or curious about where design is heading next), here are a few more standout trends for 2025 that are turning heads and transforming homes.
Maximalism: The Return of Richness
Minimalism had a long run, but 2025 is celebrating design that’s bold, expressive, and unapologetically layered.
- Pattern drenching: Coordinating prints across drapes, walls, and upholstery for a cohesive, dramatic look.
- Color drenching: Using one saturated hue across the room – from walls to window treatments – for visual impact.
- Layering: Roman shades under drapes, sheers with solids, or trim-on-trim – more can really be more.
- Trims & details: Tassels, fringes, banding, and decorative edging are back and bolder than ever.
Maximalism is about personality and playfulness – making your space feel like *you*.
What’s Old is New Again: Nostalgia with a Twist
Design is circling back to beloved traditions, refreshed for today’s homes.
- Café curtains add a soft touch to kitchens and bathrooms, allowing light to enter while maintaining privacy.
- Reupholstered furniture in coordinating window fabric is a timeless way to create a tailored and cohesive space.
- Unexpected color pairings, such as marigold and mauve or dusty blue and rust, bring vintage charm with a modern twist.
These nods to the past work beautifully when combined with updated silhouettes and fresh fabrics.
Woven Wood Shades: Natural Beauty, Lasting Appeal
Sustainability continues to shape design choices, and woven wood shades check all the boxes. Made from natural materials like bamboo, grasses, or reeds, these shades offer organic texture and work well layered with side panels or sheers. They’re durable, versatile, and timeless, ideal for both eco-conscious homeowners and design lovers alike.
Texture Everywhere: Tactile, Elevated, Essential
This year’s neutrals are anything but flat. The texture is what really brings the visual interest to life.
- Open-weave fabrics allow filtered light to pass through while adding softness without sacrificing function.
Textured linens, velvet panels, and dimensional trims bring depth to otherwise minimalist palettes.
Mixing textures, like pairing a slubby shade with a silk drape, keeps a room layered and luxurious.
Texture is an easy way to elevate your space without overwhelming it.
Hardware Highlights: Small Details, Big Style
Drapery hardware is not just functional; it’s a feature.
- French returns (curved rods that bring panels back to the wall) offer a clean, polished finish and beautifully block side light.
- Acrylic rods and finials create a light, airy look that works well in both modern and glamorous spaces.
- Custom finishes in matte black, aged brass, or mixed metals add one more layer of thoughtfulness to your design.
When the details are this beautiful, you’ll want to showcase them.
