2025 Curtain Trends You’ll Want in Your Home

I still remember when I changed my heavy old drapes for some breezy modern curtains last year, it felt like my living room could finally breathe again. 

If you’re looking to refresh your space, here are some of the top curtain trends for 2025 that are modern and also practical. Because we all need both.

1. Neutral and Earthy Tones

There’s just something so calming about soft, natural colors. In 2025, neutral and earthy tones are all full in trend and for a good reason. Shades like 

• Beige

• Off-white

• Taupe

• Olive green

• Warm browns 

They can make any room feel cozy and grounded.

When one of our customers said, “I recently went with soft olive curtains in my bedroom after much indecisiveness, and they somehow work with everything, like my wooden headboard and the mismatched throw pillows as well”. That’s the beauty of these colors. They’re timeless, and they effortlessly look great with most decor styles. So if you’re nervous about picking a bold color, these tones are a safe and gorgeous choice. 

2. Sustainable Choices

If you're trying to be a bit kinder to the planet, because same here, you’ll be happy to know that sustainable fabrics are becoming a go-to in modern curtains. For example

• Linen blends

• Recycled polyester

• Eco-friendly materials 

And one of my favorites are linen blend sheers. They’re soft, airy, and let in just the perfect amount of natural light to come into your living room. A great thing is that they're durable and hypoallergenic. They also give your space a light and natural look.

3. Sheer Sophistication

Sheer curtains are a forever favorite. There’s something so effortless about how they catch the sunlight and create a warm and dreamy glow in your space. Another of our customers shared that “I hung floor-to-ceiling sheers in my dining area, and now every afternoon feels like golden hour. I’m so glad because it is now my fav spot to take those instagram-worthy pictures”

They’re not just pretty, but super versatile. You can pair them with blinds or let them flow solo.

4. Smart Home, Smarter Curtains

Okay, this one’s for all the tech lovers and the lazy ones like me: automated curtains. Yep, voice-controlled curtains are officially a thing. 

Like being able to tell your curtains to open without leaving your bed. A great feature for busy or lazy people.I mean, is there anything better? These smart systems are super cool but they also help with energy efficiency by managing heat and sunlight throughout the day. A total win-win situation.

5. Customization is Everything

Gone are the days of getting ready-made curtains. In 2025, it’s all about personal style. Custom modern curtains let you choose everything, such as the fabric, color, size, and more.

So when I was redoing my office space, nothing felt quite right until I customized my curtains.  And then the difference it made was huge.

 Here are a few simple ways to make your curtains your own:

• Choose your fabric wisely:  Go light and airy with linen, or pick blackout fabric for better privacy and insulation.

• Add a pop of color or pattern: Keep it neutral or go bold with prints that reflect your personality.

• Play with length: You can choose floor-length for a dramatic feel, or sill-length for something more casual.

• Add Layers:: You can combine sheer curtains with heavier panels.  This will give a stylish and versatile look.

For People Who Love Minimalism

Minimalist Curtains are clean, simple, and make a space feel instantly calmer. You don’t need to do a full renovation or spend a lot of time and money. With just a few simple tricks, your space can look modern and up to the trends. 

This includes smooth matte fabrics and curtains that just barely kiss the floor. One of my co-worker shared that “I once helped a friend revamp her small apartment living room in Toronto, and just by swapping heavy drapes for floor-grazing linen panels with slim headers, her place looked twice as tall.”

If you're into clean aesthetics, here are a few tips for that effortlessly minimalist look:

• Select simple fabrics: Choose plain linen or recycled polyester in soft and neutral shades. It will keep things airy.

• Mount your curtain tracks higher: You can install them about 15 cm above the window, giving the illusion of taller ceilings.

• Do not use the cords: Motorized options like Somfy battery-powered curtains are perfect if you have kids around or just love the idea of saying, "Alexa, open the curtains."

• Keep it neat at the bottom: Add panels that just skim the floor because they feel high-end and hotel-like without being fussy.
