The Top 5 Window Treatment Trends Of 2024

In 2024, Australian window treatment trends are embracing natural colors and materials, responding to the ongoing focus on environmental sustainability. Curtains and blinds are featuring fresh and earthy tones, accompanied by beautiful textures in fabrics. Additionally, the integration of smart home technology is on the rise, with motorized and automated curtains and blinds linked to voice-activated connected assistants. This trend not only enhances convenience but also contributes to energy savings by regulating sunlight and heat. Layered looks are gaining popularity, allowing homeowners to combine curtains and blinds, mix colors, and create visually stunning effects. Bold patterns and colors are in vogue, with an extensive range available, offering an opportunity for personal expression and adding a wow factor to interior decor. Sheer and lightweight fabrics are also making a statement, bringing a sense of openness and coastal chic to homes, especially suited for bright days and breezy weather.

Window treatment trends are an ever-changing area of home décor. Sure, there are some evergreens that never seem to go out of style, some safe bets. But smart home decorators recognise the huge impact that window treatments such as curtains, blinds and shutters can have, and use trending textures, colours and patterns to set moods and make statements. There are very few investments you can make to your home interior that can bring about the same sort of dramatic change as window furnishings can. Feeling adventurous? You can feel confident, too, with an experienced Design Consultant from Country Blinds on hand to show you through the options, give you inspiration and guide your choices. Let’s take a look at 2024’s window treatment trends in Australia.

Natural Colors and Materials

Window treatment trends sometimes take their inspiration from popular community conversations. A topic that’s constantly top of mind at the moment is the environment, so it stands to reason that natural materials, textures and colours are currently trending in curtains and blinds. You can probably imagine the fresh and earthy tones that this palette comprises. What you might not be ready for are the incredible, beautiful textures available in fabrics today. Simply ask, and your Country Blinds Design Consultant will be happy to show you samples in your own home.

Smart Home Integration

Convenience has been at the heart of so many lifestyle trends in recent years and it continues to be part of our homes. After all, if home is a place for relaxing, why make it any harder than it needs to be? Smart home devices such as connected assistants with voice activation are more popular now than ever. One of the window treatment trends that has been growing in popularity in recent years is motorised, automated curtains and blinds, linked to smart home systems. Country Blinds have put decades of research and development into the components that perform best to make controlling your curtains and blinds easy. Why walk all through your home when you can open and close your blinds with a quick voice prompt – or even program a schedule that works for you? Simple and reliable, window treatments integrated into smart home systems can even help save on energy costs when scheduled to open and close at key times, blocking out harsh sunlight or holding in your heating warmth.

Layered Looks

Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Layered looks in window treatments are amongst the smartest of window treatment trends because they give you a chance to enjoy a combination of looks. Combine curtains and blinds, mix and match colours, and create stunning effects that you’ll never tire of. And if you’re a little nervous about letting your inner designer run free, don’t be. You can have an experienced Design Consultant visit your home to deliver a no-cost consultation, with samples to choose from and plenty of inspiration to share.

Bold Patterns and Colors

Bold is big in 2024! Gone are the days when curtains, blinds and shutters were available only in muted tones and understated colours. Today there is an almost limitless range of colours and patterns available. Country have spent years working with the world’s great names in fabrics to create an inspiring portfolio of designer looks. If you’re feeling bold, your Country Blinds Design Consultant is ready to help you choose colours, patterns and textures that deliver the wow factor and really set your interior décor apart.

Sheer and Lightweight Fabrics

There’s no need to be heavy when it comes to curtains and blinds. Bright days and breezy weather lend themselves to flowing sheer and lightweight fabrics that bring not just colour but motion to your rooms. Natural sunlight and curtains in lightweight fabrics can really open up your home and bring with them an easy-living elegance. No wonder home décor magazines are full of inspiring photo spreads that show off the coastal chic that these fabrics can bring.
