  • Smart Treatments: Smart home technology is everywhere these days, including your window treatments. Investing in automation will add convenience to your life and offer a series of benefits, including energy efficiency. 
  • Bold Colors: While many homeowners embrace beige and gray neutral shades, 2026 trend are all about “new neutrals” like browns, creams, tans, and taupes. Bold, rich color is also in style—add vibrancy to your home and enhance your well-being, especially during the darker days of the year, with new bold takes on jewel tones and deep moody shades. 
  • Layered Window Treatments: Layering adds depth to your home, and it will also provide additional insulation. You can layer any window treatment with drapery, or enjoy innovative sheers that close like blinds.
  • Curated Design: It’s fine to throw out the book and forge your own trends—especially in 2026! Take element s from current and past trends and remix them with your ideas to create a bespoke look.
