Window Treatment Trends 2023
2023 design trends are a combination of quiet modern basics and bold vintage accents. This mix-and-match trend has trickled down to window treatments as homeowners are choosing traditional materials like unpainted wood alongside extravagant accents like gold headrails and luxurious fabrics. At The Blind Alley, we’ve broken down current window treatment trends as follows:
Colors
The design world has long appreciated the versatility of neutral colors, and window treatments are no exception. Beige, gray, and navy shade colors and curtain fabrics remain current and classic favorites for their ability to complement multiple design styles. However, experimenting with more dramatic colors is also becoming more commonplace—natural brights like ocean blues, forest greens, and petal pinks give your room an unexpected touch of color without being too overwhelming. Increased attention to natural lighting means off-whites and slate grays are also popular window treatment colors.
Colorful Window Treatment Ideas:
Materials
Natural wood emboldens a space without the pitfall of being too “busy”. This timeless warmth of wood is being complemented by sleek, shiny metals. Wooden window treatments are being paired with metallic hardware for a fresh twist on tradition, and unpainted wood blinds may be embellished by colorful and patterned decorative tapes. Don’t be afraid to use texture to your advantage!

Design
Minimalism is not a new trend, but its endurance is still worth mentioning. A minimalistic room is clean and refreshing, the perfect design change for the new year. Minimalistic window treatments like roller shades and Roman shades are simple backdrops for more flashier home accents. Layer single-color roller shades with patterned drapery and side panels, or leave your windows bare and use custom drapes on their own. Using basic fabrics and simple window treatments opens up your living space for new opportunity.
Minimalistic Window Treatment Ideas:
Operation
Finish off your window’s new look with new manual and motorized operating systems.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades can be drawn from the bottom, top, or both for more flexible light control.
- The innovative Duolite® system combines light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics on a single shade.
- PowerView® Automation motorizes your blinds and shades and even your drapes and shutters for full smart home integration.
Whether it’s constant length wands, cordless lifts, or a rechargeable battery, your modern window treatments will need modern operating systems.
