When it comes to styling your windows, draperies are always a top choice. They create an eye-catching look, offering elegance and charm. Draperies will add depth to your design, complement your existing decor, and provide solutions. Here are the latest drapery trends to consider when revamping your design.
Play with Patterns
The list of patterns is endless: Plaids, large scale florals, stripes, geometrics, damasks…and so many more. Finding the right pattern means choosing a design that complements your decor and brings in more of your personality. The latest drapery trends are bringing in a multitude of patterns, so search around for a look that inspires you!

Design the Details
The smallest details make the biggest difference! Drapery included. Spend some time deciding on the little details. First, consider the hardware finish. The design world is currently loving matte black, gold, and natural or oil-rubbed bronze.

The way draperies are finished at the top and attached to the curtain rod is known as the header. This can be done with rings, drapery hooks, or grommets. Pinch pleat styling is the most popular choice, followed by grommets, and then ripplefold. For those who prefer to hide the curtain rod, ripple-fold draperies are an excellent option. These draperies attach to a specialized track, ensuring the ripples remain uniform even when drawn.
Layer your Treatments
One easy way to enhance your window design is by layering, a timeless drapery trend that’s likely to remain in style for years to come.

Currently, linen is a popular choice, often paired with woven shades, creating a modern, organic, and elegant look that provides a soft backdrop. Layering at the window also gives you greater control, allowing you to adjust the shades or draperies for filtered light or complete privacy.

Another classic combination that’s hard to resist is solid drapery paired with sheers. This duo not only offers a stylish aesthetic but also practical solutions for managing sunlight and privacy.
Style in Unique Areas

The most exciting part of designing your home is bringing your personality into every corner! When it comes to drapery trends, there’s no need to follow the crowd. We encourage you to be creative. Which windows in your home could be transformed with drapery? Consider spaces like bathrooms, closets, or even the laundry room. Every room deserves its own unique touch.
Colors, Neutrals or Both?
Are colors or neutrals more your vibe? Perhaps you like a mixture of both in your design.
