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.

Custom Roman Shades in Park City & St. George | Fabric Guide

By Sammie Bailey • September 8, 2026
Custom Roman shades are one of the most versatile ways to add softness, texture, privacy, and light control to a home. For homeowners searching for blinds in Park City or St. George, Roman shades offer a more tailored alternative to traditional blinds while still providing the function you need from a custom window treatment. Because the fabric becomes such a visible part of the finished design, choosing the right material is just as important as selecting the shade style itself. Whether you're designing a mountain home in Park City or a modern desert home in St. George, here are a few things to consider when choosing fabric for custom Roman shades.

Planning Window Treatments for a New Build or Remodel: What to Decide Before the Walls Are Finished

By Sammie Bailey • August 24, 2026
If you’re building a custom home or planning a major remodel, window treatments probably aren’t the first thing you’re selecting. Flooring, cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, and furniture tend to get most of the early attention. But some of the best window treatment solutions need to be planned before construction is complete. Motorized shades may require power. Recessed shades need space in the ceiling. Drapery tracks can be integrated into architectural details. Large or unusually shaped windows may need specialized hardware. Waiting until the end doesn’t mean you won’t have options—but planning earlier can create a cleaner, more integrated result. Here’s what homeowners, builders, and interior designers should consider when planning custom window treatments for a new construction home or remodel.
