Try these Window Treatment Trends in 2026
A fresh start in the new year can mean different things to different people. Maybe you will finally plan that trip you’ve been wanting to take. Or perhaps you are ready to breathe new life into your home. Window treatments are an easy change that has a high impact on your home’s style and function. Here are some of our favorite interior design trends that are taking the window treatment world by storm:
Trend 1: Layering Window Treatments
Layering is one of the strongest trends heading into 2026. This is because it is a simple yet effective way to add visual depth to a room while enjoying added light control, superior privacy, improved acoustics, and reduced outside noise. Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes are the perfect solution for layering with over 4,000 fabric styles. In need of new vertical shades? You’ll love adding these styles to your home.
Here's how we’d coordinate a layered look with current interior design schemes:
- Modern Homes: Pair your streamlined shades or blinds with drapery in solid colors or subtle textures to add a touch of softness without overwhelming the window.
- Traditional Homes: Layer drapery with subtle patterns and neutral colors over your window treatments for a polished feel.
- Minimalist Homes: Use light, neutral drapery over your blinds or shades to add softness and dimension while keeping the overall look uncluttered.
Trend 2: Textured Window Treatment Styles
2026, however, is all about textured styles that add personality to your home. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades by Hunter Douglas are crafted from woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo for an artistically woven look. Available in a full spectrum of fabrics and textures that range from sheers to opaques, these shades can be customized to meet the lighting and privacy needs of various rooms in your home.
Here's how we’d add textured styles to the following interior design scheme:
- Modern Homes: Use woven wood shades in lighter tones to add warmth without overpowering the space.
- Traditional Homes: Choose deeper tones to complement classic furnishings for a welcoming, cozy feel.
- Minimalist Homes: Select neutral colors to introduce visual interest without adding clutter.
Trend 3: Automated Window Treatments
2026 is all about adding convenience to the home. Motorized window treatments are an excellent way to eliminate the need to constantly run around your home adjusting them. With PowerView® Automation, you can schedule your window treatments to operate on a schedule or adjust them in real-time via the PowerView® App or even your voice.
Here are a few ways we’d use PowerView® Automation in different rooms:
- Bedrooms: Schedule your window treatments to open in the morning for a relaxed start to your day and close in the evening for easy privacy.
- Living Rooms: Use the Pebble® Remote to adjust up to six hard-to-reach windows at once.
- Sunrooms: Program PowerView® to open and close based on temperature fluctuations to keep your sunroom comfortable year-round.
