Your windows can have a huge impact on the aesthetic of your home. Your windows are a large portion of your interior design. Window treatments have changed vastly over the past several decades, from the look to the materials used in their construction. New window treatments are focused on a blend of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.
Advancements in Window Treatment Technology
One of the most prominent window treatment trends in 2024 is the focus on technological advancements. Hard-to-use corded blinds and shades are a thing of the past. The simplest of advancements is the removal of cords altogether. Now, homeowners can raise or lower blinds by lifting the bottom of the blinds. They can also lower the blinds by pulling them down. This completely removes the danger of dangling cords.
Motorized Window Treatments
One of the newest window treatment trends is the addition of motorized window treatments. Homeowners no longer have to struggle with cords or even leave the couch. They can simply use voice commands through a central listening device, or they can tie voice controls in with devices like Google Home or Alexa. Some motorized window treatments come with remote controls, which can be used for quick adjustments.
Motorized Blinds
Motorized blinds can be controlled via voice or remote control. You can raise or lower one or multiple sets of blinds. You can also open and close the blinds, adjusting how much light they let into a room.
Motorized Shades
Motorized shades are also window treatments that can be conveniently raised or lowered via voice controls or remote control. This gives the homeowner precise control over how much light is let into a room, and at night it allows them to control their privacy and keep outsiders from looking into their home.
Motorized Drapes & Curtains
With the installation of motorized drapes or motorized curtains, you will have the ability to close and open them with a remote or voice activation. This gives you the ultimate control over the amount of light let into a room during the day and the amount of privacy you’ll receive at night. With certain apps you can set a timer so that they open and close at certain times of the day automatically.
Eco-friendly and Sustainable Window Treatment Products
The environment is a crucial consideration for most homeowners. 2024 is no exception with a focus on eco-friendly window treatment products that are sustainable. With blinds, shutters, drapes, and shades that are made from materials that are sustainable and easily renewable, it cuts down on waste and the use of non-renewable resources. These materials are things like bamboo, recycled materials, and organic cotton. Additionally, most motorized window treatments are rechargeable, removing the need for toxic batteries.
Window treatments are being made better, to better fit the spaces available, cutting down on energy leaks throughout your home. Conserving energy and cutting down on energy costs for homeowners is a continuing trend from the past few years but will continue into 2024.
