YOUR SPACE IN 2025
As we head into 2025, window treatments are not just about covering windows—they’re becoming integral to the overall design of a space. According to Vogue, window furnishings in 2025 will blend sustainability, luxury, and advanced technology to offer both beauty and functionality. From eco conscious materials to automation, here are the top window furnishing trends and colours to look out for in the coming year.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability at the Core: Organic, Biodegradable, and Upcycled Fabrics Sustainability will continue to be a driving force in window furnishings for 2025. As Vogue highlights, more people are opting for fabrics made from organic, biodegradable, and upcycled materials. Cotton, hemp, and linen are favoured for their eco-friendly properties, offering both durability and a natural aesthetic. Recycle
polyester and upcycled textiles will also see increased use, reducing waste while providing stylish, functional window treatments that reflect a commitment to the planet.
ENERGY EFFIECIENCY
Insulating Window Treatments: Improving Energy Efficiency With a growing focus on energy efficiency, insulating window treatments will be key in 2025. Vogue emphasizes that shades, curtains, and blinds designed to regulate temperature are becoming more popular. These energy-efficient options help keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, contributing to better energy conservation. Expect to see thicker, lined drapery and thermal curtains that provide insulation without compromising on style. Honeycomb Blinds will also be a popular choice for some who wish to still keep a minimalist style with fantastic insulation properties.
CARBON NEUTRAL
Carbon-Neutral and Low-Waste Production Methods As the demand for sustainable home decor grows, so does the desire for carbon-neutral and low-waste production methods in window treatments. Vogue points to the rise of brands that prioritize reducing their environmental footprint, whether through eco-friendly manufacturing processes, smaller production runs, or using biodegradable packaging. Consumers in 2025 will have more options to choose from that align with their sustainable values, making eco-conscious design choices more accessible than ever before.
TECH FUSION
Voice-Activated, App-Controlled, and Sensor-Driven Window Treatments With the integration of technology in our daily lives, 2025 will see an explosion of voice-activated, app-controlled, and sensor-driven window treatments. Vogue predicts that motorized blinds and automated shades will not only offer convenience but will sync seamlessly with smart home platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Imagine controlling the light and ambiance of your home with a simple voice command or having shades adjust automatically based on the time of day or room temperature. These smart systems will also work with smart thermostats and lighting, enhancing comfort while promoting energy efficiency
LUX TEXTURES
Luxurious Textures: Velvet, Chenille, and Brocade When it comes to textures, 2025 will bring a shift toward luxurious, soft-to-touch materials. Velvet, chenille, and brocade will dominate the window furnishings scene, replacing the rougher linens of previous years. Vogue suggests that velvet— whether cotton, linen, or cut velvet with patterns—will become the go-to texture for drapery, offering both tactile comfort and a sophisticated visual appeal. These rich fabrics will add depth and warmth to a room, making them ideal for creating cozy, intimate spaces. Expect to see velvets in deep jewel tones or understated neutrals, bringing both elegance and tactile luxury into your home.
BOLD PRINTS PATTERNS
Bold, Large-Scale Prints and Patterns 2025 will see the rise of large-scale prints and bold patterns in window treatments. Vogue predicts that florals, geometrics, and abstract designs will replace more minimalist patterns. Dramatic prints in rich, saturated hues will make windows an artistic focal point, adding personality and vibrancy to a room. Drapery will be treated as an art form, with pleated, oversized fabric installations that create sculptural shapes, framing a space and providing movement and texture. This trend allows window treatments to become more than just functional pieces—they will become integral to the overall design narrative of your home.
JEWEL TONES AND EARTHY HUES
Jewel Tones and Earthy Hues When it comes to colour, 2025 will see an embrace of rich, saturated hues. According to Vogue, jewel tones—such as emerald, green, sapphire blue, and ruby red—will dominate window treatments, adding an air of luxury and sophistication. However, these colours will be subtler and deeper, offering a sense of refinement rather than brightness. Earthy hues like terracotta, mustard yellow, and rich browns will also be popular, aligning with the overall trend toward warmth and natural beauty in interiors. These rich tones will be seen not just in drapery but across various elements in the home, from furniture to ceramics, as people embrace colour in a way they haven ’t before.
DRAPERY AS ART
Drapery will take centre stage in 2025, moving beyond its functional role to become a focal point of the room’s design. Vogue notes that pleated, patterned, and oversized fabric installations will be used to frame spaces, creating dramatic, sculptural moments. These installations will soften the hard edges of a room while adding texture and movement. Whether in rich jewel tones or natural fabrics, drapery will be used to enhance the ambiance of a room, providing a visual and tactile focal point that evokes both comfort and sophistication.
