Let’s explore the top window covering styles and features leading the way in 2025.

Motorization & Smart Automation

Smart home integration continues to be one of the biggest trends in 2025—and window coverings are no exception. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation and Alta motorized systems allow for effortless control via smartphone apps, voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home, or scheduled programming. These systems are ideal for tall or hard-to-reach windows and provide added security by automating movement when you're away. As smart technology becomes more mainstream, homeowners are seeking convenience, efficiency, and modern style—all in one solution.

Energy-Efficient Honeycomb Shades

With rising energy costs and a focus on sustainability, energy-efficient window treatments are in high demand. Honeycomb shades—like Hunter Douglas’ Duette® and Duette® Architella®—use a cellular construction to trap air, helping to insulate your windows year-round. These shades reduce heat loss during cold Saskatchewan winters and limit solar heat during summer, lowering utility bills while maintaining a comfortable home environment. Available in various opacities and colours, honeycomb shades are a stylish and practical choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

Innovative Light Control Features

Homeowners in 2025 want more flexibility from their window coverings, and manufacturers are delivering. Features such as Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation and Duolite® dual shades provide layered control over light and privacy. Whether you want soft, diffused light in the morning or complete blackout in the evening, these advanced options offer unmatched versatility. Hunter Douglas collections like Silhouette®, Vignette®, and Alustra® are prime examples of how modern designs seamlessly combine form and function.

Sustainable & Natural Materials

Sustainability continues to influence interior design, with natural materials taking centre stage in window coverings. Alta Window Fashions and Hunter Douglas respond with eco-friendly collections using responsibly sourced wood, bamboo, linen, and other organic fibres. These materials introduce texture and warmth to any space while supporting environmentally conscious values. Ideal for modern farmhouse, coastal, or Scandinavian interiors, natural textures are both beautiful and meaningful.

Layered Window Treatments

Layering window treatments combines style with performance. Pair sheer shades with heavier blackout drapes or Roman shades under flowing curtains to create depth, improve insulation, and gain more control over light and temperature. Alta and Hunter Douglas offer numerous options that work beautifully in layered combinations, allowing each room to be tailored to its unique design and functional needs. This designer-approved approach is simple to achieve with the right guidance.

Bold Patterns & Minimalist Finishes

In 2025, we see a dynamic contrast in design preferences—bold patterns are gaining popularity just as minimalist finishes remain a staple. Jewel-toned fabrics in shades like rust, emerald, and deep navy make striking statements in living and dining rooms, while sleek roller shades, faux wood blinds, and neutral Roman shades offer a clean, timeless appeal. Alta and Hunter Douglas make it easy to achieve either aesthetic—or combine both for a layered, vibrant design that reflects your personality.
