January 2025 Design Trends

Meredith Lee • January 10, 2025

As we step into 2025, interior design is embracing bold textures, luxurious materials, and immersive color palettes. Whether you’re updating a single room or your entire home, these five trends promise to elevate your living spaces with sophistication and charm. Here’s how you can incorporate these trends into your decor, with a special focus on the transformative power of custom window treatments.

1. Drapery as a Statement Piece

Drapery is taking center stage in 2025, moving beyond its traditional role to become an artistic focal point in interiors. From floor-to-ceiling installations to layered fabrics, curtains are a key element of luxurious design.

How to Achieve This Trend:

  • Opt for custom draperies in rich, textured fabrics like velvet or silk to create a sense of grandeur.
  • Choose pleated designs, contrasting trims, or bold patterns to make your window treatments stand out.
  • Pair draperies with sheer curtains or motorized roller shades for a layered, functional look that provides light control and privacy.



2. Velvet—The Fabric of Elegance

Velvet is a timeless material that’s making a big comeback this year. Its soft texture and light-reflecting qualities add warmth and luxury to any room.

How to Achieve This Trend:

  • Incorporate velvet into your window treatments, such as plush velvet curtains in deep jewel tones like emerald green or navy blue.
  • Use velvet tiebacks or accents to bring a touch of this trend to your existing drapery.
  • Coordinate velvet window treatments with other elements, like upholstered furniture or throw pillows, for a cohesive look.



3. Color and Pattern Drenching

Color and pattern drenching involves saturating a space in a single hue or pattern, creating a bold, cohesive look. This trend offers a dramatic yet harmonious aesthetic.

How to Achieve This Trend:

  • Extend your chosen color or pattern to your window treatments by selecting drapes or Roman shades in matching tones.
  • Use patterned fabrics to coordinate curtains with upholstered furniture, walls, or area rugs.
  • For a more subtle approach, choose a monochromatic palette and vary the textures across drapery, walls, and furnishings.



4. Upholstered Walls for a Cozy Touch

Upholstered walls are a growing trend, adding warmth, texture, and sound insulation to interiors. While this trend is commonly seen in bedrooms and studies, it pairs beautifully with elegant window treatments.

How to Achieve This Trend:

  • Complement upholstered walls with draperies in matching or contrasting fabrics for a cohesive design.
  • Choose window treatments with padded valances or pelmets to echo the softness of upholstered walls.
  • Opt for bold colors or patterns in your drapery to add depth and dimension to the space.



5. Flame Stitch Patterns for Dynamic Energy

The flame stitch pattern is making waves in 2025, bringing its zigzagging lines and vibrant energy to home decor. This timeless motif is perfect for adding movement and interest to a room.

How to Achieve This Trend:

  • Use flame stitch patterns in custom Roman shades or drapery panels to make a bold statement.
  • Pair patterned window treatments with neutral walls and furniture to let the design take center stage.
  • Incorporate coordinating accessories, like throw pillows or rugs, for a cohesive yet dynamic look.



Why Custom Window Treatments Matter

Each of these trends showcases the versatility of window treatments in transforming a space. Custom draperies, shades, and blinds allow you to:

  • Tailor designs to fit your unique style and preferences.
  • Achieve high-quality finishes that enhance the overall aesthetic of your home.
  • Enjoy functional benefits like improved light control, energy efficiency, and privacy.

How to Choose Window Treatments for Every Room in Your Home

By Sammie Bailey • June 9, 2026
Most people approach window treatments the same way in every room — pick something that looks good and call it done. The problem with that approach is that no two rooms in your home have the same needs. The light is different. The function is different. The way you live in the space is different. A bedroom needs darkness at 7am on a Saturday. A kitchen needs something practical that survives steam and splatter. A living room needs to handle afternoon glare without making the space feel like a cave. A home office needs to eliminate screen glare without losing the view. Get the treatment wrong and you'll notice it every single day — squinting at your screen, waking up too early, or living in a room that never quite feels finished. Get it right and you stop thinking about your windows entirely, which is exactly the point.  Here's how to choose window treatments for every room in your home — starting with what that room actually needs.

How Much Sun Is Coming Through Your Windows — And What It's Costing You

By Sammie Bailey • June 2, 2026
Most homeowners think about their windows as a view. A way to let in light, frame the mountains, or brighten a room. What they rarely think about is what's coming in with that light — and what it's quietly doing to their home, their furniture, and their energy bill. If you've ever sat near a south-facing window in July and felt the heat radiating off the glass, you already understand the problem. You just might not know how significant it is — or how simple the solution can be.
