With expert guidance and a curated selection of premium blinds and shades, our team is here to help you embrace the year's most exciting trends. Let's dive into 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 Graber's 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 offer 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 an increased 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, leading to lower utility bills and a more comfortable home. Available in various opacities and colours, honeycomb shades are a smart and stylish choice for eco-conscious homeowners.

Innovative Light Control Features

In 2025, homeowners are demanding more flexibility from their window coverings—and manufacturers are delivering. Features such as Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation and Duolite® dual shades allow for 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 perfect examples of how form meets function in today's most popular designs.

Sustainable & Natural Materials

As sustainability becomes more of a lifestyle than a trend, natural materials are taking centre stage in window covering design. Graber and Hunter Douglas are responding with eco-friendly collections featuring responsibly sourced wood, bamboo, linen, and other organic fibres. These materials introduce a tactile, nature-inspired look that warms up any space while aligning with environmentally conscious values. Perfect for modern farmhouse, coastal, or Scandinavian interiors, natural textures are both beautiful and meaningful.

Layered Window Treatments

Layering window treatments is a trend that combines aesthetics and performance. Think sheer shades paired with heavier blackout drapes or Roman shades under flowing curtains. This approach creates dimension, enhances insulation, and gives you more control over light and temperature. Graber and Hunter Douglas offer many options that work beautifully in layered combinations, allowing you to tailor each room to its unique needs and style preferences. It's a designer-approved technique that's easy to achieve with the right guidance.

Bold Patterns & Minimalist Finishes

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