Window Treatment: Old-Fashioned Drapery Styles Making a Comeback
Old-fashioned drapery styles are coming back in style for window treatments. Look at the most trendy trends that are transforming the way we decorate our houses. Classic drapery styles are returning with a fresh twist—layered looks, floral fabrics, jacquard, and textured solids. You may modify the vibe of your home with these styles.
Hey there, home lover!
The windows still look like they need improvement, even though the color and light in the room are ideal. Window treatment is more than simply fabric; it's the last thing that makes a room seem finished. Curtains make a room feel cozier, softer, and more connected. But how do you choose one when there are so many?
We've seen a lot of vintage styles come back. Take a break with a cup of tea and look at the latest curtain styles, which are both old and fresh.
Trend 1: Layered Curtains – Soft Light & Smart Style
The Vibe: Useful, light, and romantic
The Look: Two poles and two pieces of cloth
By putting light sheers over heavier drapes, you can enjoy filtered daylight during the day and complete solitude at night. A sheer base and cotton or linen curtains make everything soft, flexible, and deep.
- Light and privacy control
- Depth and texture
- Perfect for bedrooms and living rooms
Trend 2: Nature-Inspired Prints – Peace Indoors
The Feeling: Serene, stable, and earthy
The Look: Contemporary floral or botanical designs on cotton or polyester
Think of gentle leaves and painterly flowers—elegant, but not too much. Choose cotton or polyester that has small floral or leaf prints and allows breathability. Use natural furnishings and neutral walls to get a biophilic vibe.
Trend 3: Textured Jacquard & Geometric Drapes – Texture First
The Vibe: Confident, rich, and expressive
The Look: Jacquard weave with damask or geometric designs
Drapes with patterns and textures stand out.
- Jacquard with woven patterns (not printed)
- Geometric, diamond, or damask designs add visual interest
- Velvet or thick cotton for warmth, privacy, and heavy weight
Trend 4: Textured Solids – Elevated Minimalism
The Mood: Modern, tranquil, and cohesive
The Look: High-quality solid textured fabrics
Rich, earthy colors and textiles that feel pleasant (soft weaves, linen-look, silk-look).
- Clean, straightforward look
- Balances strong furniture or gallery walls
- Pairs well with wood, stone, and woven accents
Try earthy colors like olive green, terracotta, deep navy, and warm greige.

FAQ: How to Choose the Right Curtains
Do patterned curtains look good?
Yes! From geometrics to watercolor florals, patterns are back in a big way—choose ones that complement your décor, not overwhelm it.
Should I use polyester or cotton for window treatments?
Cotton: Natural, soft, breathable, rich colors; may wrinkle, shrink, or fade.
Polyester: Durable, fade-resistant, wrinkle-free, low-maintenance, mimics silk or linen; less breathable.
In short: Cotton = stylish & comfy, Polyester = practical & durable.
What does "Jacquard" mean?
A weaving method that creates damask or floral patterns directly in the fabric. Unlike prints, they won’t peel and remain strong over time.
How long should curtains hang?
- Floating: 1 inch above the floor (clean, practical)
- Kissing: Just touching the floor (elegant, tailored)
- Puddling: Extra fabric pooled on the floor (romantic, dramatic)
