Tips for Window Treatment Trends 2022
1. Trending Styles
So, before we get into colours, let’s take a look at some trending styles for the new window treatment trends 2022. So far it would seem that the trends have been influenced by:
- Scandinavian Design which is functional and natural.
- Japanese Design which is subtle and elegant.
Both cultures share similar minimalist design principles, but if the minimalist style doesn’t suit you and you want something a bit more luxurious, you could also explore the Neo-Baroque style.
2. Hot Design Colours
Personally, this is my favourite part of design – colours!
While colour preference is personal, some of the hot design colours for 2022 that suit trending styles include:
Neutral Tones: white, cream, pearl, beige, brown, black, graphite, gray
Natural Colours: Turquoise, Purple, Lilac, Blue, Green, Peach, Yellow
Bold Colours: Neo-Mint, Navy, Burgundy, Red
You’ll notice that some of these colour trends continue from other years, so be careful. If you are choosing a colour like gray, keep in mind that this trend may not last much longer.
Also, you can see that some of the natural colours can be quite bold (and vice versa) depending on the saturation of the colour.
These blue drapes compliment the natural wood and brick materials, increasingly popular eco-friendly choices.
3. Popular Types of Window Treatments
The types of window treatments trending this year seem to be popular because they are easy to use, made from sustainable products and make a bold statement. Here is what we are seeing for window treatment trends 2022:

Some fun things to try this year are some wooden beads to drawback curtains or some DIY finials. You can pretty much mix and match anything, but great accent colours are of course black, chrome, and wooden materials. Read more about hardware and accessories for drapes here.
Automation:
As technology continues to advance, so do window treatments. People are enjoying the ease of automation. For example, you can get smart shades that will automatically open, close, tilt, etc.
Check out Graber motorized shades so you can control light with an app, a remote or even your voice!
Or, do the same thing with the Hunter Douglas’s PowerView® App.
