Trending Window Treatments In 2025
The interiors buzzword of 2025 might just be biophilic design – the practice of connecting people and the natural world within our built environments, with the aim of enhancing wellbeing.
At Nicholls Interiors, we’re seeing a strong shift toward window treatments using natural materials like bamboo, linen and wood. Tactile and calming, these materials are frequently complemented with earthy colour palettes. We’re also seeing an increase in automation and energy saving products tailored to our local lifestyle and climate.
Here are some of the top 2025 trends we’re noticing in Melbourne’s bayside suburbs:
1. Smart And Automated Solutions
The integration of technology into home design continues to gain momentum. Smart blinds and curtains, controllable via smartphone apps or voice assistants, are becoming increasingly popular. These automated systems offer convenience, energy efficiency, and enhanced security, aligning with the modern homeowner’s desire for seamless living.
Experience the convenience of smart window treatments with our range of motorised blinds and curtains at Nicholls Interiors.
2. Layered And Multi-Functional Designs
Homeowners are increasingly opting for layered window treatments that combine functionality with style. By pairing sheer curtains with heavier drapes or integrating blinds with decorative panels, optimal light control, privacy, and insulation is achieved. The practical benefits this offers also include improved soundproofing and energy efficiency.
3. Energy Efficiency And Sustainability
In response to rising energy costs and environmental concerns, energy-efficient window treatments are in high demand. Options like curtains and cellular blinds provide excellent insulation, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures all year round. These solutions not only reduce energy consumption but also contribute to a more sustainable home environment. The installation of awnings are also effective in stopping the sun from hitting your window, which reduces the aircon requirements in summer.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our range of energy-efficient window treatments, available to view in the Nicholls Interiors showroom.
4. Customisation And Personal Expression
Personalised window treatments are making a significant impact in 2025. Homeowners are seeking bespoke designs that reflect their individual style and complement their home’s architecture. At Nicholls Interiors, we offer a vast selection of fabrics, patterns, and designs, allowing our clients to create their own unique window treatments.
5. Natural Materials And Earthy Tones
Invite nature in with curtains and blinds made from organic materials like bamboo, linen, and timber blends. These thoughtfully chosen fabrics add texture and warmth, while earthy tones – deep greens, terracotta and soft clay – create a calm, grounded interior that echoes the outdoors.
Embrace the beauty of natural materials with our selection of curtains and blinds crafted from natural and organic fabrics.
