Which fabric to choose for curtains?

Updating your curtains is a great way to refresh your home. It is very easy to change the look of a room with different curtains. Curtain fabrics can add a lot to your interior design. You can enhance the feeling of privacy, shade light, create a focal point in a room or visually change the proportions of a room.

There are many different types of curtain fabrics, each with its own characteristics. Below is a list to help you choose fabrics.

Cotton fabrics

Cotton fabrics are good choice for curtains if you want to use natural fibres. The material is easy to care for – it can be washed in a washing machine and ironed with a hot iron. The disadvantage of cotton fabrics is that they can wrinkle. Cotton fabric comes in a wide range of textures and patterns.

In the cotton fabrics category, you can also find linen fabrics, embroidered fabrics and special patterns for the kids rooms.

Decorative fabrics

Decorative fabrics usually contain polyester, but they still have many advantages over their natural counterparts (e.g. they are cheaper). For curtains, decorative fabrics are a good choice if you want to bring different textures and patterns into your interior design.

In the decorative fabrics section, you can also find velvety fabrics, sheen fabrics and fabrics with a jacquard pattern.

Tulle curtains

Tulle is a transparent fabric that looks like a net. It is very light and airy, hence it is a good choice for curtains if you want a fabric that lets light through to cover your windows.

Tulle curtains come in a variety of patterns and already have a tunnel in the top edge of the fabric for a curtain rod.

Voile

Voile is a sheer lightweight fabric that is perfect for summer and day curtains. It can be used to create layered effects and to add warmth to your home. Voile fabric is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, so it is easy to find one that suits your interior design!

Blackout curtains

Blackout curtains are a great choice for people who want to keep their home cool in summer and warm in winter. They are also great for people who want privacy or prefer to sleep in complete darkness.

Choosing the right curtain fabric is an important part of creating a cohesive visual theme in your home. When you are decorating a room with lots of natural light, choose something light and airy, such as tulle or voile curtains. Curtains add colour, texture and pattern to your room, creating a beautiful backdrop to any room in your house. They can also help you control how much light enters the room or block out noise from outside – and they are super easy to install!
