If you’re looking to transform your living space in 2025, some new window furnishings are an ideal way to go. Gone are the days when the primary function of curtains and blinds was to block out light or provide privacy– these days, furnishings are an integral part of your home’s interior design and should not be overlooked.
In this blog, we explore some of the top window furnishing trends we’re seeing this year and how we can help you incorporate them.

With home automation systems like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa expected to become increasingly sophisticated, more homeowners are turning to smart window furnishing solutions.
Think blinds and curtains that open and close at specific times, based on sunlight levels, according to temperature, or even via motion sensors. And you don’t even need to be home to do it– smartphone apps and voice assistants make this easier than ever.
Program your furnishings to close over the hottest part of the day during summer, reducing your reliance on air conditioning. Program them to remain open all day during winter, helping to naturally warm your home and reduce your need for heating.
Sustainability is shaping the home decor industry as a whole, so it makes sense that it has infiltrated window furnishings, too. With consumers becoming more environmentally conscious, the demand for eco-friendly products is continuing to rise.
Materials like bamboo, linen, and organic cotton are becoming increasingly popular as they are renewable, biodegradable, and have a low environmental impact (compared to synthetic fabrics). Recycled materials, such as polyester, are also growing in popularity.
Energy efficiency is also important to homeowners in 2025, with thermal and honeycomb blinds being popular due to their ability to better insulate our windows (lowering heating and cooling costs).
After years of minimalism being the only way to go, homeowners are starting to look for ways to make a statement with their home decor. As a result, we have seen a shift back towards maximalism this year.
Vibrant patterns and bold colours are becoming increasingly popular for window furnishings, helping to add a sense of flair and personality to the space. They can also create a focal point for the room, drawing the eye in and providing a visual anchor for the rest of your design choices.
There are many ways to make a statement– think geometric patterns, florals, and abstract shapes; luxurious, over-the-top fabrics like velvet; and bold colour palettes ranging from deep emerald greens and mustard yellows to rich plums and warm terracottas.
One way that homeowners are achieving the maximalist look in 2025 is by layering window treatments and textures. This adds depth and visual interest to any space, as well as offers many functional benefits.
You could choose to mix different treatments, such as pairing sheer curtains with heavier blinds or even shutters. Not only can this boost the aesthetic appeal of your home, but it also allows you to control the amount of natural light without compromising on privacy.
Combining different fabrics is another way to approach this trend. Layering sheer curtains with heavy velvet drapes or sleek timber shutters can create a whole different look and feel for your space. It can also be a great way to bring in different textures for a natural, grounded aesthetic.
After waning in popularity, Roman blinds are making a comeback in 2025, thanks to the ease with which they can be mixed and matched with other window furnishings. They tick all the boxes, combining the softness of curtains with the functionality of blinds.
Roman blinds offer a timeless elegance that complements both traditional and modern homes. They’re available in a range of textures and patterns, which enables them to work with almost any interior design style and blend into the maximalist trend quite well.
Unlined and translucent fabrics are becoming increasingly popular as they allow Roman blinds to softly filter natural light and help to create a harmonious relationship between our indoor and outdoor spaces.
