What Window Treatments Are in Style for 2021?

Your windows play a major role in your home’s beauty, so if your current coverings are old and drab, perhaps it’s time for an update. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of options for you to choose—from blinds and plantation shutters to shades and drapes—so you can have fun customizing the precise look you want. Before you choose which window treatments are best for you, consider the most popular trends for 2021:

Energy-Saving Cellular Shades

Cellular shades, or honeycomb shades, are composed of honeycomb-shaped cells made from fabric. The cells filter light to create a warm glow in your interior, but they also create an effective barrier between your room and the window glass, helping your home’s interior stay cooler during the summer and warmer in the winter. This can lower the strain on your HVAC system and lead to lower monthly energy costs.

Timeless, Minimalist Style

When it comes to window treatments, you can have fun with bold colors, patterns, and textures, but these options age far quicker than minimalist designs, which are timeless and spark a sense of calm. For curtains, opt for lightweight weaves, soft lines, and neutral colors that evoke ease, and for simple movement, have your floor-to-ceiling curtains float or kiss the floor rather than puddle at the bottom. If you want plantation shutters or blinds, consider gray and gray-tone wood grain, which is gaining popularity over all-white and dark wood options.

Motorized Treatments

Technology has seeped into nearly every aspect of modern-day life, and that includes the world of window treatments. Consider investing in motorized shades, which can raise, lower, open, and close using your home’s smart hub, phone, tablet, and other devices.

Cordless

Blinds with cords have been almost entirely replaced with safer, more attractive cordless blinds, which make your treatments safer for kids and pets and are easier to operate. To finish the look of your cordless blinds, it remains popular to layer curtains over them for softness and privacy.

Natural Shades

Continuing in 2020’s natural materials theme, woven wood shades in rattan or bamboo create a textured, casual look that is beautiful and on trend.
