As the year winds down, designers are already looking ahead to what’s next—and we’ve got the inside scoop. At Shade Place by Stephan, we’re forecasting the top Hunter Douglas window treatment trends for 2026 that are making waves across Hudson County homes.
Spoiler alert: it’s all about natural light, automation, and texture-driven design.
1. Soft Neutrals & Natural Materials
Gone are the days of sterile white blinds. Homeowners in Hoboken and Jersey City are opting for warm, organic tones that add depth without distraction. Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades—crafted from reeds, grasses, and woods—are at the top of the list for 2026.
They bring texture, dimension, and a subtle sophistication that pairs beautifully with minimalist interiors.
2. Automation as Standard
Motorized shades are no longer a luxury—they’re the new normal. PowerView® Automation continues to dominate, allowing homeowners to create personalized “Scenes” that align with daily routines. Imagine your shades opening with your morning coffee and closing when the city skyline begins to sparkle.
3. Layering Light
Layered looks aren’t going anywhere. Expect to see more combinations of sheer shadings like Silhouette® paired with tailored drapery in Design Studio™ fabrics. It’s functional artistry—light control that feels custom-built for your space.
4. Sustainable Style
Hudson County residents are embracing eco-conscious design, and Hunter Douglas is leading the way with energy-efficient innovations like Duette® Honeycomb Shades that keep warmth in and waste out.
