May 2025 Design Trends

Spring is in full swing, and May is all about embracing softness, light, and organic style as we transition from cozy indoor months to warm, sunlit days. This month’s design trends are rooted in natural textures, earthy palettes, and timeless silhouettes—perfect for creating a home that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable.

Here’s what we’re loving (and installing) this May:

1. Textured Neutrals

Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring—especially in 2025. From tactile linen panels to cozy boucle chairs, soft neutrals are getting a makeover with natural textures and layered depth.

Think: cream-toned Roman shades, oatmeal drapery, stonewashed fabrics, and sandy-toned roller shades with subtle woven patterns. Texture adds warmth and sophistication, without overwhelming the room.

Window Treatment Tip: Choose neutral window treatments in linen blends or woven fabrics to add richness while keeping the palette soft and airy.

2. Transitional Design

Not quite modern, not quite traditional—transitional design is all about balance. We’re seeing more clients lean into this flexible style that blends classic elements with modern updates: arched windows meet clean-lined shades, and soft drapery brings a fresh take to more structured spaces.

How to Style It: Pair tailored Roman shades with understated drapery for a layered look that honors both form and function. Keep hardware simple and streamlined to maintain a contemporary edge.

3. Layered Window Treatments

As the light shifts and days grow longer, layered window treatments are a must. Combining light-filtering shades with sheer or soft drapery adds both elegance and versatility to your windows.

Whether you want filtered light during the day or extra privacy at night, this layered approach offers both beauty and practicality—ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and open-concept spaces.

Designer Favorite: Motorized roller shades paired with breezy linen drapery panels let you adjust the atmosphere of your room with ease and sophistication.

4. Nature-Inspired Palettes

Color is warming up—and calming down—in the most beautiful way. This season’s palette pulls directly from nature: soft moss greens, sunbaked clay, sandy beiges, and oat-infused whites are taking center stage.

These grounded hues work across every room and pair perfectly with textured neutrals and organic materials. They evoke the feeling of a spring meadow or a sunlit canyon—earthy, understated, and full of life.

Window Treatment Tip: Opt for shades or drapery in tonal neutrals or muted greens for a fresh, curated look that complements wood floors, woven textures, and stone finishes.

Final Thoughts

May is the perfect month to refresh your home with soft textures, natural materials, and elevated details. Whether you’re layering window treatments, experimenting with organic color palettes, or embracing transitional style, these trends are all about creating calm, beautiful, and functional interiors.

When Window Treatments Should Be Planned in a Custom Build

By Sammie Bailey • March 9, 2026

In a custom home, the best results come from thoughtful planning. The more details that are considered early in the build, the more seamless the final space feels. Window treatments are one of those details that often get pushed to the end of the project. By the time they’re discussed, drywall is up, electrical is finished, and architectural opportunities have already passed. However, when window treatments are considered during the design and construction phases, builders and designers gain far more flexibility—and the finished result integrates much more naturally with the home. Here are three elements that benefit most from early planning.

Why Motorized Shades Are Now the Standard in High-End Homes

By Sammie Bailey • March 3, 2026

In today’s well-designed homes, motorized shades are no longer considered an upgrade. They are expected. Across Park City, Northern Utah, and St. George, we’re seeing a consistent shift in how window treatments are planned and specified. In homes valued at $1.5M and above, automation is no longer an afterthought — it’s part of the architectural conversation from the outset. As residential design continues to evolve, so do expectations surrounding comfort, performance, and integration. Motorized window treatments now sit at the intersection of all three.
