New blinds styles for 2026

Whether you’re renovating a single room or updating your entire home, the latest trends in new blinds for 2026 offer a perfect blend of fashion and function. Here’s what’s shaping UK interiors and why made-to-measure blinds are the smartest choice for modern living.

Trend 1: Soft Minimalism & Clean Lines

Minimalism isn’t going anywhere, but in 2026 it’s looking to become softer and more approachable. Sleek styles such as roller blinds, day & night blinds and Japanese-style panel blinds are on trend, helping to maintain a clean aesthetic without feeling cold or clinical.

Expect to see:

  • Smooth fabrics
  • Subtle geometric patterns
  • Crisp colour blocking
  • Warm neutral bases

These modern blind designs work especially well in new-build homes and open-plan spaces across the UK.

Trend 2: Nature-Inspired Tones and Textures

2026 is all about bringing the outside in. UK homeowners are embracing warm, natural shades such as leafy greens, stone greys, clay terracottas and soft neutrals. Blinds in fabrics that mimic organic textures—linen, woven wood and soft-touch textiles—are also gaining popularity.

These tones work beautifully across:

  • Living rooms
  • Kitchen diners
  • Bedrooms
  • Garden rooms and extensions

Natural hues help create calm, restorative environments—something more homeowners desire after years of fast-paced living.

Trend 3: Bold Statement Windows

Large feature windows, skylights and lantern roofs continue to dominate UK extensions and renovations. With more glazing comes the need for blinds that offer both style and excellent light management.

Trending options include:

  • Oversized roller blinds
  • Extra-wide panel blinds
  • Statement Roman blinds
  • Custom blinds for roof lanterns and skylights

In 2026, windows become focal points—so the blinds need to match the drama.

Trend 4: Even Smarter, Automated Living

Smart homes continue to boom in popularity across the UK, and blinds are now at the forefront of this movement. Motorised blinds that integrate with Alexa, Google Home or smartphone apps are becoming the go-to choice for convenience, security and energy efficiency.

In 2026, more fabrics will be engineered for:

  • Better temperature control
  • Improved insulation
  • Light diffusion
  • Eco-friendly production

Combining smart controls with modern fabrics gives homeowners complete control over comfort throughout the day.
