As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, fall invites us to slow down, get cozy and take a look around our home. With summer holidays ending and real-life grounding us into routines, it’s not unusual to rethink how our homes feel—especially when it comes to light, texture and warmth. When seasons change, so does how we feel about our living spaces. It’s normal to want them to change with the seasons. While a total renovation likely isn’t on the table, there are plenty of small upgrades that make a huge impact. One of the easiest and most affordable ways to embrace the shift in seasons? Start with window treatments.
Whether you're looking to refresh a single room or redesign an entire space, fall 2025 is bringing in a wave of fresh ideas that are equal parts form and functional. From layered textures to energy-efficient upgrades, here are the season’s hottest window treatment trends to welcome autumn in style.
Layered Looks Are In
Layering is one of the most classic and practical ways to make your windows feel dressed for any changing season. Think tailored Roman shades paired with sheer panels or cellular shades beneath heavier drapes. Juxtaposing different window treatments offers functional versatility with stylistic choices. The result? A space that feels warm, dimensional and effortlessly put together. Pro tip: Choose fall-inspired tones like clay, amber or olive to keep the look grounded and seasonal.
Natural Textures Take the Lead
Woven wood shades, crafted from bamboo and natural materials, are having a moment. These shades add just the right amount of organic texture to soften a modern space or lean into a more rustic aesthetic. They’re also a beautiful way to invite the outdoors in as the weather starts to cool. Woven wood shades naturally bring organic and earthy shades that are perfect for the fall season. Not sure what’s replacing drapes in 2025? You’re looking at it. These shades offer a lighter, breezier take on traditional fabric panels.
Smart Shades, Smarter Homes
Motorized window treatments continue to gain momentum in 2025 and it’s easy to see why. With the ability to schedule, automate or control your shades remotely, they bring comfort and control to your daily routine. No cords mean no hassle. Pair smart technology with cellular or roller shades for the perfect blend of style and potential energy efficiency. And yes, they’re compatible with your favorite smart home devices.
Moodier Colors Set the Tone

While soft neutrals never go out of style, this season welcomes richer, moodier tones like navy, burnt sienna, deep green and slate gray. These colors create a cozy, serene feel that's perfect for fall. Whether you’re selecting Roman shades, fabric blinds or layered drapery, don’t shy away from a little drama. Style tip: Mix matte finishes with textured materials for a more elevated look.
Vertical Blinds, Rethought
Vertical blinds have gotten a glow-up for 2025. They’re now available in textured fabrics, wood-inspired finishes and soft neutral tones that feel current and clean. Ideal for sliding glass doors or wide windows, they’re functional without feeling dated—and yes, they’re still pet-and kid-friendly.
Style That Moves with the Season
These window treatment trends offer more than just a fresh look. They bring warmth, intention and flexibility to how you live.
