Sheer Curtains

The minimalist style of sheer curtains is a growing trend, perfect in any room of your house. Far from the net curtains seen in the past, sheer curtains make a modern and modern fashion statement.

The sheer curtains are beautiful and filter the sun's rays, creating a calm and soothing interior. McKenzie & Willis Interior Designer, Anna Kouwenhoven Deavoll, says "Sheer curtains are romantic, timeless and contemporary. They can soften the look of an architectural space with a beautiful diffused light effect that can alter throughout the day. Sheers are a surprisingly flexible window furnishing choice, allowing the home owner to control heating and light. They're available in a wide range of costs, from affordable up to luxury.

Daytime Privacy and UV Protection

They also offer daytime privacy and privacy, while blocking unwanted distractions from the outside. They also provide the added benefit of protecting your furnishings from UV rays that is damaging and fading most materials and also keeps your room cool if you are in direct sunlight during the day.

Style and Fullness of Fabric

Regarding style, "fullness of fabric will expose the sheers to their full effect by creating depth and dimension. For a strong design statement it is recommended to use a waves curtain heading can be beautiful when it is floor to ceiling and wall to wall. An an inverted pleat or New York pleat heading style is also very popular." Anna says. Anna.

Puddling for a Relaxed Look

Incorporating a puddle onto the floor can be a stunning upgrade. Anna suggests that curtain "kiss the ground" just enough to stop the drape to create a relaxed look, or you can opt for an actual puddle that is 10-20cm for a striking appearance. In older houses, a great benefit of puddling is it can disguise uneven floors.

Double Track for Privacy

If privacy is a concern, you can have a double track installed with an opaque curtain layer underneath which you can close at night, but when pulled back it is discretely concealed beneath the sheers for a seamless look." The track is described by Anna who has the same in her home. It is also possible to put sheers above roller blinds or honeycomb blinds. If the blinds are opened, it appears as you just have sheers but you still have the insulation and blockout properties of the blinds.

Sheers with Roller Blinds

Although the fabric is transparent, that doesn't mean it doesn't have an important role. A neutral, light shade is the most popular option because it's so versatile yet there are numerous options in this palette like The Designs of the Time So Koro collection.

The rustic textures and patterns in Lizzo's Lizzo Lost Island collection prevent sheers from appearing too sterile if white minimalism is not your thing. There are also some boldly decorated sheer fabrics, such as those in our Matthew Williamson Belvoir collection. Make sure to consider this when you choose a brightly coloured fabric, this will alter the hue of the light that enters them, therefore, if you're using blue curtains, you will be able to see blue-tinted lighting.

The 100% linen fabric is preferred by a lot of people for its authentic look and feel, but remember that linen is affected by the sun's full force, so it won't last as long as a linen/polyester blend will. 100 percent polyester is the best and most durable choice for sheers. Our experienced designers can advise you of these aspects.
