Plantation shutters
Can you believe we are closing in on the end of 2025? What a year for window coverings! As the year wraps up, we at Ezze Shutters & Blinds are taking a look back at the window treatments our customers loved most this year.

From energy-efficient upgrades to timeless interior design choices, homeowners across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and the entire Treasure Valley invested in window coverings that combine style, comfort, and long-term value. Whether outfitting a brand-new home or refreshing a single room, many of our customers gravitated toward high-quality, American-made products that elevate both appearance and performance.

With Idaho’s dramatic temperature shifts and abundant sunshine, it’s no surprise that more clients sought out window treatments that improve insulation, enhance privacy, and offer better control over natural light. And with over 20 years of experience in the window covering industry, the Ezze Shutters & Blinds team was thrilled to help hundreds of homeowners find the perfect fit for their space.

Before we head into the new year, we’re highlighting the products that stood out above the rest, our most popular, most versatile, and most-loved blinds, shades, and shutters of 2025. Whether you’re planning a home project in early 2026 or simply gathering inspiration, this roundup is the perfect place to start.

Best All-Around Choice: Plantation Shutters in Boise

While several products stood out this year, plantation shutters remained the most well-rounded and universally loved window treatment of 2025. These shutters continue to be a favorite among Treasure Valley homeowners because they offer the perfect blend of durability, customization, and timeless style, making them a smart long-term investment for any home.

Plantation shutters work beautifully in both traditional and modern spaces, and many customers choose them for their ability to provide precise control over privacy and natural light. With adjustable slats and sturdy framing, shutters can brighten a room with soft daylight or block out heat during Idaho’s sunny afternoons.

One of the biggest reasons homeowners gravitated toward shutters this year is their versatility. They come in a variety of materials, from real wood for a rich, natural finish to faux wood and PVC options that stand up beautifully to moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

The favorite styles of plantation shutters:
  • Full-height plantation shutters for an elegant, polished look
     
  • Café-style shutters, which allow light in from the top while maintaining privacy below
     
  • Bi-fold & tracked shutters for sliding doors and wide window spans
     
  • French door shutters, offering a seamless, built-in appearance
     
Because they’re easy to clean, extremely durable, and custom-fitted to each window, plantation shutters are an ideal long-term solution for homeowners wanting both beauty and practicality.

Most Popular Window Treatment of 2025: Cellular Shades

When it comes to the clear standout of 2025, cellular shades rose to the top, and for good reason.

These shades were one of the go-to choices for Treasure Valley homeowners who wanted a window treatment that delivers style, comfort, and energy savings all at once.

 


Why Homeowners Loved Cellular Shades in 2025

Cellular shades have a unique honeycomb structure that traps air inside small pockets. This natural insulating layer helps keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter: an especially valuable feature in Idaho’s dramatic climate.

But energy efficiency wasn’t the only reason they were so popular. Customers also loved:
  • The soft, warm light they create during the day
     
  • A sleek, modern look that fits any décor
     
  • The wide variety of customization options
     
  • Their ability to improve privacy without darkening a room
     


Endless Options for Every Style

This year, we received the most requests ever for:
  • Blackout cellular shades for bedrooms, nurseries, & media rooms
     
  • Top-down/bottom-up options for flexible light control
     
  • Vertical cellular shades for sliding glass doors & wide windows
     
These features made cellular shades a top choice for both new home builds and full-home remodels. Curious how cellular shades look in real homes? You can explore our Cellular Shades page or browse full installation examples in our Gallery.

Best for Light Control: Blackout Shades

Blackout shades
When it came to controlling natural light, blackout shades were the clear winner in 2025. Many homeowners throughout the Treasure Valley turned to blackout options to improve sleep quality, darken media rooms, and create more comfortable indoor environments during Idaho’s longer summer days.

Blackout shades are designed with opaque materials that block out the vast majority of outside light. This year, they were especially popular among families with young children, shift workers who sleep during the day, and anyone looking to reduce glare in rooms with big windows. Customers appreciated how these shades offered complete darkness without sacrificing style.

Several blackout styles stood out this year, including:
  • Blackout cellular shades, combining energy efficiency with total light control
     
  • Blackout roller shades, perfect for modern interiors
     
  • Motorized blackout shades, ideal for hard-to-reach windows and for convenience
     
  • Top-down/bottom-up blackout styles, allowing flexibility and privacy without letting in unwanted light
     
The added insulation of many blackout materials also made them a smart choice for reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency, an important consideration in both new builds and older homes.

If you're looking for a way to darken a bedroom, improve privacy, or enhance a home theater, blackout shades remain one of the most effective and versatile solutions available. Explore more options on our Blackout Shades page.
