Need to cover your windows, but don’t know which style to choose? We’ve gathered Instagram photos from real Blinds.com customers to show you what’s trending now and is guaranteed to give you home some major style points.
1. Woven Wood Shades
These shades aren’t just for tiki bars!
Woven Wood Shades, also known as bamboo blinds, are what every home décor blogger is putting in her windows. We’ve seen this look grow in popularity for a few years, but with the new neutral + texture look (think jute rugs, wall hangings, faux fur), woven woods have really hit their stride.
When to Choose this Look
If your style is farmhouse, eclectic, global, french country, or coastal – woven woods are a perfect fit.
For ultra modern, formal, traditional victorian, or uber-glam styles, woven woods might not be right. They fit best with a style that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has a little casualness to it.

2. Shutters
Shutters are give you a clean, classic look and are a foolproof window choice. They have been called “fine furniture for your windows” and designers love them for their clean lines and stately look.
Wood Shutters and Faux Wood Shutters are durable, easy to clean and even add resale value to your home.
When to Choose this Look
Shutters have their roots in classic architecture, so they look best in historical homes or new construction with traditional sensibilities. If your style is mediterranean, traditional, transitional, coastal or farmhouse – shutters are a great pick.
Shutters may not be the best fit for modern spaces or mid century decor. However, these versatile treatments can truly be made to work in any space with the right styling.

3. Roman Shades
Roman Shades are the perfect choice if your space feels stark and needs some softness. Elegant fabrics will offer privacy and are available in blackout or light filtering.
Most of our Instagram picks feature roman shades in solid fabrics. Window treatments need to stand the test of time through changing styles, so a basic solid is always a safe choice. If you want to make a statement with your windows, try one of 100s of available prints.
When to Choose this Look
When you choose a high-end fabric like silk or borcade, Roman Shades are great for formal and traditional spaces. If you choose a casual linen-like fabric, they work equally well for farmhouse, eclectic, coastal or scandinavian styles.
Roman shades are available so many fabrics and construction styles that they are versatile enough for any space. For a formal room choose a voluminous hobbled look with looped fabric even when the shade is lowered. For a modern space choose a flat fold that has a clean look when lowered.

Honorable Mention: White Curtains
Close behind our top 3 styles were clean white curtains. In fact, many of our customer photos featured white curtains layered on top of one of these other trending styles.
When to Choose this Look
If you want to give your room a high-end, finished look, pinch pleat curtains in a simple white are a sure win. They’re perfect for farmhouse, eclectic, minimal, mid-century, coastal, Scandinavian and Mediterranean homes.
If you have small children or pets, your curtains may quickly get dirty along the hem and bottom few feet, so we’d recommend another window treatment option.
