2025 Window Treatment Color Trends for Lakeland Homes

Your window treatments do more than filter light — they set the tone for your entire room. The right colors can make a space feel bright and airy, cozy and warm, or sophisticated and modern. In Lakeland’s sunny Tennessee climate, color choices also impact how your home feels and functions throughout the year.

This year’s trends balance style-forward design with practical performance, helping you stay comfortable while keeping your interiors fresh and on-trend.

Why color matters in Lakeland homes

Lakeland gets more than 230 sunny days a year, which means your window treatments are constantly exposed to strong natural light. That light affects how colors look — and how fabrics hold up over time. Choosing the right color isn’t just about style; it’s about selecting materials and finishes that resist fading, reflect heat, and complement the brightness of Tennessee's natural light.

2025’s biggest window treatment color trends

1. Warm Neutrals with Depth

Think creamy taupe, warm beige, and soft greige. These tones work beautifully in open floor plans, creating a calm, cohesive backdrop that pairs with wood floors and natural textures.

• Best in: Living rooms and dining spaces with lots of natural light.
   
• Why it works in Lakeland: Warm neutrals don’t show dust as easily and keep a space feeling airy without glare.
   

2. Cool Coastal Blues

From soft sky blue to deep navy, coastal tones continue to trend — especially for Tennessee homes where outdoor living is part of the lifestyle.

• Best in: Bedrooms for a serene, relaxing feel.
   
• Why it works in Lakeland: Complements water views, pools, and outdoor landscapes while reflecting bright sun.
   

3. Rich Earthy Greens

Olive, sage, and eucalyptus greens bring a grounded, nature-inspired vibe indoors.

• Best in: Home offices or spaces that could use a calming, focused energy.
   
• Why it works in Lakeland: Pairs beautifully with indoor plants and works with both modern and traditional interiors.
   

4. Layered Whites

Crisp white, ivory, and bone layered together create dimension without overwhelming a room.

• Best in: Minimalist or coastal-style homes.
   
• Why it works in Lakeland: Reflects heat and keeps interiors looking fresh year-round.
   

5. Statement Shades

While neutrals dominate, bold accents like terracotta, ochre, or charcoal are making appearances as statement treatments in otherwise neutral spaces.

• Best in: Accent windows or single-feature walls.
   
• Why it works in Lakeland: Adds personality without overpowering bright, sunlit rooms.
   

Matching color to your room’s function

• Bedrooms: Softer, darker tones can help promote rest. Consider blackout fabrics in deep navy or charcoal for both style and function.
   
• Living Rooms: Choose medium to light shades to keep the space bright while minimizing glare.
   
• Kitchens: Lighter tones like warm whites or pale blues can make the space feel clean and open.
   
• Home Offices: Greens and muted blues promote focus without feeling heavy.
   

How light affects your color choice

Natural sunlight can make colors look brighter than they appear in a showroom. Before committing:

• View fabric samples at different times of day.
   
• Check how colors appear with both natural and artificial lighting.
   
• Consider fade-resistant fabrics if the window faces strong direct sun.
   

Pairing color with material

• Roller Shades: Show off solid colors and bold prints for a modern touch.
   
• Roman Shades: Work well with textured neutrals and layered colors.
   
• Cellular Shades: Best in light or medium tones for energy efficiency.
   
• Draperies: Ideal for adding richness with deep or layered tones.
