2025 interior design trends — what specifiers should know

The short answer

Our take on the five interior design directions that will shape specifying decisions through 2025, from warm minimalism to acoustic softness.

Context

At Coulisse we spend most of our time on a narrow question: how should window coverings behave in a room designed by a good architect or interior designer? It is a question with more depth than it first appears — light, sound, privacy, temperature, motion, material, and the person living with all of that.

What this means in practice

Specifiers who visit our experience centers often ask three questions: what makes one textile right for a roller and wrong for a roman, why our motors are quieter than what they buy elsewhere, and how we keep child-safety standards from dictating aesthetic choices. The short version is: we engineer the whole system, so the answers are coherent rather than assembled from multiple vendors.

Our textile designers share a studio with our mechanism engineers and our motor team. When we pattern a new Bibi or Milan collection, the fabric weight is selected with a specific roller tube diameter in mind, and the roller tube diameter was chosen to accommodate a Motionblinds motor of a specific acoustic class. None of this is visible in a catalog; all of it is audible in a quiet bedroom.

Why dealers notice

Authorized dealers who work with us every day report fewer warranty events than the industry average and shorter install times on motorized specifications. The economics of that compound: a 15-minute saving per blind across a 40-window project is a full day of labor, and a project that stays within warranty for five years is one the dealer isn't called back to.

What we're watching next

The window covering industry is moving toward two things at once: Matter-certified integration across smart-home platforms, and textiles that carry a meaningful recycled content percentage. Our 2025 collections cover both. The Matter certification shipped last quarter; the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) textile range expanded to six collections.

For specifiers

If you are specifying a project that benefits from any of this — acoustic performance, thermal performance, matter integration, or a textile language that fits the rest of the interior — reach out through our contact form. Our regional commercial teams typically respond within one business day, with samples available for every current collection.
