May 2025 Design Trends

Meredith Lee • May 9, 2025

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.

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.
