Revealed! Curtain Trends For 2025!

As fixtures and fittings go, your curtains are very much a necessity. Regardless of style, they serve a highly practical function, giving you much-needed privacy and blocking out light while helping your home to retain heat during the winter months.

As such, it’s easy to fall into the trap of just picking out some fabric or other in a colour or pattern, hanging your new drapes up and forgetting all about them. But it doesn’t have to be this way and, in fact, you can use your curtains in all sorts of unique ways to add an extra layer of interest to your interior design schemes.

There are lots of intriguing curtain trends coming to the fore this year… so here are just a couple of our favourites that we’re certain will help you bring your homes to life in 2025 and beyond.

Curtain walls

Adding texture to your living spaces is an excellent way to transform them quickly and immediately – and because your curtains account for a large proportion of the room, you can really change the aesthetic and ambiance without much effort at all.

Soften up your rooms with curtain walls, hanging them across each wall to make intimate and cosy living spaces… perfect for places like the bedroom, where you want to maximise comfort wherever possible.

Architectural shapes

Just because you’re dealing with fabric doesn’t mean that you can’t embrace architectural shape and form. 

Choosing your material wisely and going for colours that complement your wall tones so that they blend in and create harmonious cohesion will help you enhance the look and feel of your home. 

Up the ante with some simple pleats in the fabric and you’ll end up with a beautifully elegant yet understated space.

Complementary patterns

Maximalism is a trend that shows no signs of stopping – and we’re here for it at Pret A Vivre! Done well, it doesn’t have to be overpowering and if you want to overload on pattern, the key to getting it right is to ensure that your scale and colours work well together. 

Your curtains and your wallpaper can both be patterned statement pieces in their own right if they work together in this way.

Transitional curtains

If you have a sunroom or conservatory that leads to the great outdoors, you can blend the transition between inside and out with the use of transitional curtains, which are fast becoming one of this year’s biggest trends.

Cafe curtains

Kitchen curtains are often something of an afterthought, either something like a simple roller blind in a basic fabric or just not hung up at all. However, there’s a growing trend for the use of cafe-style curtains, which lend a certain vintage charm to cooking up a family feast. Go for a fun gingham fabric and you’ll really feel like you’ve gone back in time!
