As many of us continue to spend most of our time at home, quick upgrades and full-blown renovations will be on the to-do list again in 2022. If new window treatments are on your list this year, then we’ve got ya covered. Keep reading for our guide to the top window treatment trends for 2022.
Add Texture With Woven Woods
Shades made from bamboo, grasses, reeds, and other sustainable fibers are a great way to add texture and infuse natural beauty into a space. Depending on the material or weave you choose, woven shades can compliment a wide range of decorating styles, from rustic to refined.
Woven wood shades are a great option for homeowners looking to bring a little bit of nature indoors or just want a window covering style that is unlike your typical blinds or shades. Add an optional blackout liner to reduce light leaks between fibers for a solution that is bedroom friendly.

Add Softness With Roman Shades and Drapery
As country (aka cottagecore) and more traditional decorating styles start to experience a resurgence, homeowners are excited to swape their basic roller shades for softer, more voluminous styles. Roman shades and custom drapery are a great way to make a space feel more luxurious.
Available in a wide variety of fabrics, colors and pleat styles, Roman shades and curtains allow you to completely customize the look, whether you want something that’s more streamlined or glam.

Save Energy With Insulating Shades
As we become more environmentally conscious, it’s important that décor pieces do more than simply look pretty. Cellular shades have become increasingly popular with homeowners because they look stunning in a window and also significantly reduce energy loss, saving you money in the long run.
How do honeycomb shades work? Their distinct cellular construction traps air increasing insulation at the window, preventing heat from escaping in the winter or entering in the summer. The result: a window treatment style that keeps your home looking and feeling good.

Make an Impact with Laura Ashley-Style Prints
Yes, you read that right. This iconic fabric style from the 90s, with its quintessential florals, are back in style. With most homeowners staring at the same walls for two years straight (thanks COVID), many are feeling like it’s time to shake things up again. And with country decor back on the scene, floral prints are a great way to add life and whimsy to a space.
Go Modern With Matte Black Hardware
Good news for homeowners that prefer a more modern decorating style, there is a new hardware color in town – matte black. For years, homeowners chose between three primary metal finishes – silver, brass or bronze. Matte black is a great alternative to these more common colors because it’s sleek and modern, elevating the look of custom drapery without all the glam.

Embellish With Curtain Tiebacks
Once only used in super opulent spaces, curtain tiebacks have been totally revamped and now include more pared back options that work well with a wide range of styles, from traditional to contemporary.
In 2022, you’ll start to see these functional drapery accessories make a major comeback, with homeowners using jute rope, large wooden beads or even magnetic cord, to tie back curtains. Metal hold backs are also back in style, thanks to contemporary shapes and metal finishes like matte black.
Get Smart Shades With Automation
Every year, automation is on our trends list. Why? Because every year, window coverings get more and more functionally sophisticated thanks to advancements in automation and motorization. And as homeowners upgrade spaces, it makes sense to opt for the latest in technology.
In 2022, nearly every window treatment style can be automated, from blinds to shades to shutters to even drapery. Homeowners will be able to move window coverings on demand or schedule movement around the clock, using an app, remote or even their voice. Amazing stuff! If you’re upgrading your window treatments, definitely ask your designer about the benefits of automation.
