Neutral colours - the basis for a stylish design

Year after year passes, and muted and neutral colours are still in the mainstream. Beiges, greys, shades of sand and ivory - these are timeless colours that never go out of fashion. They simply go well with many interior styles - from minimalist, loft-like spaces to more traditional and elegant rooms.

At the same time, drapes in muted colours create the perfect background for experimenting with more finesse curtains, Roman blinds or panel curtains. A tasteful combination of finesse, extravagance against a subdued background of classic curtain colours - this will be an interesting challenge for those designing window decorations in 2025.

Bold colour accents: yellow, honey, mustard

In 2025, as we wrote above, as much as possible you can bet on a classic,  neutral colour base. However, this does not mean that there is no room for expression for those with a more daring taste... More intense colours will also be in fashion, which will add freshness and energy to interiors. One such trendy shade will be yellow - in sunshine, mustard and honey versions.

Mocha Mousse - Pantone's colour of the year 2025

For 2025, the colour of the year was chosen to be Mocha Mousse, a shade of brown that combines notes of chocolate and coffee. This colour is meant to inspire us to choose experiences that enhance personal comfort and improve well-being, such as the small pleasures of coffee and chocolate.

At the same time, Mocha Mousse provides a great colour base for a range of different applications, from both the minimalist and rich design areas. These include various matching shades of brown, from a palette dubbed ‘Relaxed Elegance’ by Pantone, starting with the light shade Cannoli Cream and ending with the dark brown of Chocolate Martini.

Bottle green - nature and elegance in one

Another colour that will continue to be fashionable in 2025 is bottle green. This deep, noble shade of green is perfectly in line with the trend of closeness to nature, which has been continuously dominating interior design for several years. Drapes and curtains in bottle green bring calm, harmony and elegance to a room.

Bottle green is an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms and also offices. Drapes in this colour go well with wooden furniture and (like the Future Dusk colour chosen by Pantone)- accessories in shades of copper, gold or dark brown. Green adds a classy and dignified touch to interiors, while also creating a relaxing atmosphere.

The designer advises:

  • If, in addition to colour, we also care about elegance - when choosing drapes, it is essential to pay attention to the weight of the fabric. The market is currently ‘flooded’ with cheap fabrics from the Far East, which are thin and look bad on the window, trying to pretend to be curtain fabrics... For more on this subject, see entry: What to look for when buying drapes and curtains online
  • In order to make the drapes look chic on the wall - it is important that they ‘meet’ the window frame on one side and come practically to the corner of the wall on the other side. Avoid a situation in which several - several dozen centimetres of the wall remain uncovered by the curtain (from the side of the curtain to the corner of the wall). You can see for yourself how much of an ‘elegance effect’ you will gain from a drapes made to the corner of the wall - in the visualisation from the iDESCU app. In the iDESCU app, take a photo of your window (including the wall on the sides) and see, setting up a narrower drapes once and a wider one reaching to the corner of the wall a second time.

Curtains: delicate, airy and elegant

Fashionable curtains in 2025 are still proposals with limited decoration. Smooth and delicately decorated curtains will be a fashionable choice, bringing subtlety and elegance to the interior. Such curtain arrangements are perfect for minimalist interiors, but can also be used as a subtle complement to more striking arrangements (such as drapes with a striking pattern).

Curtains- can be iron-free ...

From a utilitarian perspective, you should definitely be interested in curtains that do not require ironing, which makes them extremely practical to use. Who among us likes ironing...
Fabrics that elegantly drape, such as polyester or voile, provide ease of use while giving your interior a modern, fresh look. For those who value comfort and elegance, such curtains will be the ideal solution.

Patterns, fabric structure- ‘nature style’ at the forefront

Patterns on drapes in 2025 will remain subdued and inspiration will also be drawn from nature. Drapes with delicate stripes, geometric patterns and organic motifs will be popular to bring calm and harmony to interiors. Fabrics with natural textures, such as linen or cotton, fit perfectly into this trend. New materials such as polyester, whose texture resembles that of natural materials, are also an interesting option. Their decisive advantage is that they are not as difficult to iron as, for example, natural linen, they are durable and look just as beautiful...

Window decoration - style and more...

In addition to the aesthetic aspects, it is also worth paying attention to the functional aspects of the curtain materials. Blackout drapes (blackout drapes, available in the shop: blackout drapes ), which provide full blackout, are becoming increasingly popular. Another interesting category is thermal drapes, which help to insulate rooms thermally. Blackout drapes will work especially well in bedrooms and home offices, where adequate lighting conditions are crucial.

Window arrangements also save on heating costs in winter. How big? We have calculated, read here.

Roman blinds - modern and new variants

Roman blinds are a category of modern window decorations. The mechanism of the Roman blind offers a versatile way to create interesting interchangeable window decorations). It arranges the fabric in elegant horizontal folds. The fabric used in the Roman blind can have features that partially or completely shade the window. The roller blinds look chic and are also convenient in everyday use (pulling up and down with a bead chain).

For windows for which there is no need for heavy draping - consider a curtain roller blind. A more recent suggestion is curtain roller blinds consisting of two fabrics joined together - a curtain fabric in the middle and a chosen colour-pattern in stripes at the top and bottom. These types of combinations look simply fantastic and are sure to stand out from other window decorations in the area....
