Editor's Notes
August 23, 2020:
Sheer curtains not only improve your décor, but they also allow natural light to enter a room, brighten up dark spaces, and enhance privacy. They also pair well with window curtains or window film.
The fabric you choose will dictate how much sun gets in and the level of privacy you will enjoy. It also determines how the panels hang and how they should be laundered.
Most of the options on this list are made from polyester because the fabric is affordable, easy to care for, and resistant to wrinkles. More importantly, it’s versatile. It can be woven to appear completely transparent like the GoodGram Rod Pockets or semi-sheer like the DWCN Voiles.
Linen sheers drape nicely and filter the sun, but they tend to require dry cleaning to maintain. Options like the Selectex Faux Linen drapes provide the same look and feel without the added cost.
Cotton curtains offer a clean, billowy look. Yet they are prone to collecting dust quickly. Options like the Dreaming Casa display the same features, even though they are cut from 100 percent polyester.
If you’re looking to block the sunlight in the living room or add some privacy in the bedroom, lace sheers like the Jiyoyo Embroidered Window Treatment tend to cast the light differently while obscuring the view from outsiders.
A great deal of selecting curtains has to do with the size of your window and its location. Apron length curtains like the Nicetown Short Voile are ideal for windows you find yourself opening repeatedly, or would otherwise cover plugs and cords.
Floor-length curtains such as the DWCN Voiles or the GoodGram Rod Pockets work well in living rooms and bedrooms and can be paired with thick curtains, shades, or blinds to ensure privacy when you need it.
Puddle-length curtains like the Dreaming Casa look good in rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows or in areas where you want to create the appearance of a large window. They also can be used to add a sophisticated or romantic touch to a room.
