It’s that time of the year when many people start thinking about making home improvements in time for spring and summer. Window treatments are an easy way to refresh your home while offering many benefits, both aesthetically and functionally. We take a look at the emerging window treatment trends for 2024 that will upgrade your interior décor.
Go bold with black and grey shutters
While white remains the most popular shade for shutters, bold colours are starting to make their mark. Grey and black shutters in particular are growing in popularity, offering a contemporary and sleek finish. These statement shades work well against light-colour exteriors while complementing many hues in your home.

Save on your bills with energy-efficient blinds
It comes as no surprise that consumers are getting savvy when it comes to making their properties more energy-efficient to help reduce their bills and keep their homes warm. Many homeowners are opting for insulating blinds as they provide an extra layer of insulation to regulate indoor temperatures all year round.
Reduce the buzz with fly screens
2023 was the warmest year on record and this year is predicted to be another scorcher. Unfortunately, the heat brings more pesky flies into our homes, but there is a way to keep them out – fly screens. These gained some momentum in 2023, however we expect insect screens to fly off our shelves this year. The mesh material stops even the smallest of flies and other insects from getting in, while still providing great air ventilation. They also sit within your window frame to hide out of sight when not in use.
Get smart with electric blinds
For customers embracing smart home devices or searching for technology-driven solutions, look no further than electric blinds. Motorised blinds have been growing in popularity over the last year, and we expect this to continue throughout 2024. Electric blinds are perfect for windows that are hard to reach but also provide an efficient solution for controlling light. They can be opened and closed at the push of a button, using Alexa or connected to a smart hub.
Create an al fresco space with electric awnings
Internal window treatments aren’t the only way to enhance your living space, external additions are also growing in popularity. Electric awnings are a great way to enhance a patio area, especially when paired with bi-fold doors. Providing effortless control, you can quickly open your awning to create a space that merges the outdoors and indoors.
Sheer shades
Natural colours are big in interior design for 2024 and this includes for blinds. In particular, sheer Roman blinds are in the spotlight, due to the soft, elegant touch they can bring to a room. Sheer blinds also provide the privacy you need, while allowing natural light to filter through to create a luminous ambiance.
