Winter in Mansfield, TX, brings its own kind of beauty — crisp air, soft sunlight, and the cozy comfort of home. But it also brings new challenges for your interiors, like controlling glare, improving insulation, and setting the mood for cozy indoor living. If you’re looking to refresh your interiors for the season, upgrading your winter window coverings is one of the smartest moves you can make. And the best part? You don’t have to start from scratch. With so many stylish and functional window options available, it’s easy to transform your space without a full renovation.
This guide highlights the top winter window trends for 2025, with expert tips from Made in the Shade Mansfield. Whether you’re continuing your holiday home upgrades (see our related article) or just need a cozy reset, we’ve got you covered.
❄️ 1. Layered Window Treatments for Insulation & Texture
Layering isn’t just for winter wardrobes — it’s a top trend in window fashion, too. Adding layers helps trap heat and reduces drafts while adding visual depth and texture.
Start with a base shade like:
Then, add a soft top treatment like custom drapes or a fabric valance for a cozy, designer-inspired look. We especially love this combo in living rooms and bedrooms, where warmth and ambiance matter most.

🔥 2. Cellular Shades = Energy Savings + Style
When it comes to winter-ready window treatments, nothing beats the insulating power of Cellular Shades.
Also known as honeycomb shades, these feature a unique construction that traps air in “cells,” reducing heat loss through your windows. That means:
- Lower heating bills
- Fewer cold spots
- A more comfortable home
Plus, they’re available in a wide range of pop colors and textures to match your style.

🌬️ 3. Solar Shades for Winter Glare Control
The Texas sun doesn’t quit just because it’s winter. If you’re struggling with midday glare while working from home or relaxing on the couch, it’s time to consider solar shades.
These sleek shades:
- Reduce glare without blocking natural light
- Protect floors, furniture, and artwork from UV damage
- Offer a minimal, modern look that works in any room
For a layered winter look, pair solar shades with custom drapes or natural woven shades for added texture and softness.
🌲 4. Shutters: Timeless and Winter-Proof
Plantation shutters are always in style, and winter is the perfect time to install them.
Why? Because shutters offer:
- Excellent insulation
- Full control of light and privacy
- A clean, classic look that pairs with any Christmas window décor ideas
They’re especially great for bedrooms, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. Plus, they’re low-maintenance and wipe clean easily — perfect for post-holiday tidying up.
Tip: White shutters look beautiful with holiday decor and transition seamlessly into the New Year.
🌟 5. Dual Shades = Day/Night Comfort
Dual shades (also called zebra shades) are trending this holiday season for good reason.
Their alternating sheer and opaque bands give you:
- Light filtering during the day
- Privacy and room darkening at night
- A sleek, contemporary look
They’re also available with motorization, making them ideal for large windows, hard-to-reach spaces, or simply adding a little luxury to your everyday routine.
Pair with voice control or integrate into your home automation for the ultimate in winter comfort.
🎄 Bonus Trend: Decorative Grilles for Winter Drama
Looking for a show-stopping seasonal upgrade? Install a Tableaux® Decorative Grille in an arched window, entryway, or as a wall feature.
These custom faux-iron panels bring architectural detail and holiday charm to any space — and you can leave them up all year round.
They’re especially impactful when paired with:
- Garland and string lights during the holidays
- Soft up-lighting or candles during the winter months

🧼 Easy Winter Cleaning & Maintenance
