Windows used to be a canvas for pattern. Today they're a canvas for texture — the visual interest comes from weave and fibre rather than a printed design.
Homeowners are choosing calmer rooms that don't fight for attention. Texture ages more gracefully than pattern — a linen drape looks as current in five years as it does today, while a bold print often doesn't.
