Window design can cover structural elements—trim, grain, panes—and the treatments that frame them. HGTV found window treatment trends in a variety of palettes and textures to inspire interior design.
The following looks are inspired by HGTV’s trends, and ways you can re-create the most popular styles using creative window styles and coverings. If you already have a window that fits your style, you can just add treatments. If your home is missing the windows you want, start planning to install new ones that fit your practical and aesthetic needs.

Airy and Open
Create a summery effect even during darker months with treatments that don’t block light. Shop for materials that allow maximum light through, keeping in mind any privacy needs, especially for ground-level rooms.
Additional light can make a small room feel larger and more open. Another way to amplify an airy feeling is to install a window with textured glass that doesn’t require curtains, yet still protects privacy.

Pure and Simple
There has been a movement toward window treatments that reflect healthy values. Sustainably made coverings imitate natural elements and refresh a room. Source wood treatments or natural fabrics that match the room’s palette, and you might also find there are little to no lingering manufacturing odors in the new coverings.
Wooden windows have a versatile effect. They can appear at once charming, formal, or casual. Engage the effortless look by choosing a wooden window design that reflects your interior and comes with some decorative twists.

Rich and Dramatic
Use full-bodied colors to build a striking appearance in a living area or master bedroom. Rich, heavy treatments that have a bold drape are a great background for minimalist or vintage styles. Large windows have a more intense effect, which you can boost with the right treatments. Similarly, lower windows can be enhanced by placing hanging hardware higher than the actual window for faux height.
Windows can add architectural design of their own
High Design
Play up a room with window treatments that feature shapes, lines, or prints. The details add character. You can also achieve a similar result with unexpected architectural details. Unusual window designs can complement a room with flair, lend a vintage touch, or effuse modernity.
Crisp and Classic
Notes of metal and steel were found in HGTV’s top trends. Metal hardware is a quick way to dress up a window. Depending on the coverings they’re paired with, materials like steel and gold can be classic or contemporary. Add traditional paned windows, and the wall transforms from simple to quietly elegant.
Customize the intricate details on paned windows, selecting pane size, shape (circular or angular), whether the panes should continue over the whole window or stop halfway. You’ll have the opportunity to add in a color, neutral, or traditional wood grain.
