Lace and Voile.
Cotton :
Cotton is a versatile fabric used to achieve a range of styles. It
offers a crisp, clean feel that suits traditional or modern styles.
As it can be a very light fabric, cotton curtains do need to be
properly lined so they hang and fall as desired.
Silk :
Silk is dry clean only, and very susceptible to sun damage.
If the room has a lot of natural light you may want to protect
them by using a roller blind underneath or a lighter coloured
panel for lining. You could opt for a silk-look polyester fabric for
more durability.
Linen :
Linen is a natural fibre. Its billowy look creates an airy, casual,
relaxed environment.
If you like the look of curtains that pool on the floor, linen is a great
choice to achieve it.
Linen won’t block the sun, and like silk they’re dry clean only.
Polyester :
This is a very common choice.
Polyester is durable, affordable, easy to care for, and doesn’t really
wrinkle, stretch or shrink.
Choose polyester for bedroom and living areas, but avoid it in the
kitchen as it’s flammable, doesn’t allow good airflow and absorbs odours.
Velvet :
Made of either natural or synthetic fibres, if you want glamour and
richness in a room, pick velvet.
It’s thick and heavy making it great for blocking out cold air, light
and sound.
And it drapes well, giving rooms a regal look.
