As the new year starts, Made in the Shade Jackson Hole is looking forward to the styles and design trends in 2026. After a year of creative success and stunning projects highlighted in our related article, we’re excited to share what’s next in window fashions for Jackson Hole homeowners.
Whether you’re updating your vacation retreat in Teton Village or enhancing your primary residence in Jackson, these 2026 design insights will help you bring beauty, comfort, and functionality to every room.
1. Layered Window Treatments for a Refined Look
Layering is one of the top design trends in 2026. By combining two or more types of treatments, you can achieve both style and versatility. A popular pairing this year includes sheer shades layered with drapery panels to create depth and dimension. This combination allows soft, diffused light during the day and cozy privacy in the evening.
In Jackson Hole’s mountain-inspired interiors, natural textures are especially popular. Think linen drapery in warm neutrals paired with textured Roman shades in complementary tones. The look feels both polished and approachable—perfect for the blend of luxury and rugged charm that defines local homes.

2. Smart Shades for Modern Mountain Living
Home automation continues to evolve, and Jackson Hole homeowners are embracing convenience like never before. Motorized window coverings have become a must-have feature, offering precise light control with the touch of a button. Our motorized shades integrate seamlessly with smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home, making it easy to schedule openings and closings for natural light and energy efficiency.
Pair smart operation with energy-efficient cellular shades for comfort in every season. Imagine waking up to sunlight automatically filtering through your shades, or closing them remotely when temperatures drop. For additional ideas, learn more about how smart solutions shaped last year’s favorite spaces.
3. Bringing the Outdoors In
In 2026, Jackson Hole homeowners are finding new ways to connect interior spaces with the stunning natural surroundings. Organic materials, soft color palettes, and eco-friendly fabrics are key to this movement. Many of our clients are choosing woven wood shades to introduce natural textures that reflect the area’s outdoor beauty.
These shades pair beautifully with wood beams, stone fireplaces, and expansive mountain views. When layered with drapery panels, they add a touch of warmth while maintaining a clean, timeless aesthetic. You can learn more about how we used similar natural elements in last year’s favorite homes.
4. Energy Efficiency Meets Style
Energy savings continue to be a top priority for homeowners in Jackson Hole’s cold climate. Fortunately, today’s window treatments don’t sacrifice style for functionality. Products like cellular shades and roller shades offer insulation benefits that help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures all year long.
Our team often recommends plantation shutters for a traditional, durable solution that also provides excellent light control. Crafted from premium wood or composite materials, shutters are both practical and timeless—ideal for mountain cabins and modern homes alike.
5. Expanding Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor design trends in 2026 continue to evolve, with more clients creating functional spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Our exterior shades and awnings are perfect for patios, decks, and porches, offering protection from UV rays while preserving those breathtaking Jackson Hole views.
Retractable designs make it easy to adjust for sunlight, wind, or temperature changes. Many homeowners pair these with outdoor heaters and lighting for year-round comfort.
