PRACTICAL & STYLISH CURTAIN FABRIC FOR YOUR HOME

We all know that curtains are an integral part of any property because they keep the room warm, block out light and create a nicer environment for sleeping. However, curtains are more than a practical addition to a property; they're also a style statement.

Which types of curtains are available?

When it comes to curtains, you've got a lot of choices to make. One of the most important is the type of finish you'd like. Each fabric has unique properties; some will make sheer curtains, while others might be a bit heavier.

The most popular curtain types are sheers, solids, patterns and textured—but which suits your needs?

Sheers

Translucent, lightweight and delicate, sheer curtains filter light through but still give you the necessary privacy. You'll often find these curtains in bedrooms and formal areas as they offer style and sophistication, but it's also important to remember that they won't keep your room as warm as other curtain types.

However, if you're all about style, look for curtains made from lace, voile and chiffon fabrics, which are all sheer.

Solids

Solid curtain fabrics are plain and uniform in colour, without any patterns or textures, offering a clean and classic appearance. The great thing about solids is they're highly functional but can seamlessly blend into a room, complementing any décor scheme.

Polyester, silk, cotton and linen make the best solid curtains, as they have strong insulation properties and come in various colours.

Patterns

Patterned curtain fabric is the way to go if you want to add visual interest to your designs. Featuring classic and modern designs, these curtains bring a room to life and help you display your personality.

For example, you could keep it simple with floral designs or go out with geometric shapes and intricate patterns. There's so much you can do with patterned curtain fabric, which is why it's so popular.

Textured

Textured curtain fabrics have surface variations that create depth and tactile interest, such as weaves, embossed patterns or fibre combinations. Popular examples of textured curtains include jacquard, tweed, or embroidered fabrics.

These curtains are effortlessly luxurious and often have superior insulation qualities, making them the ideal choice for up-market designs.

Choose curtain fabrics in a range of materials

The material is one of the most critical elements of your curtains because it defines how useful they are in your home.

For example, summer curtain fabric should be light, while winter fabric should be able to trap the cold air and prevent it from coming through.

Our extensive range of curtain fabrics comes in various materials, so you can find one that matches your needs.

Chenille curtain fabric

Chenille curtains are renowned for their thick, fuzzy fabric, usually wool or cotton. The long nap gives the curtains a luxurious feel, and chenille is highly popular for living rooms and bedrooms.

Our chenille curtains are available in a variety of colours and patterns. Most importantly, the fabrics are exceptional and will serve as focal points in any room.

Pros:

  • Chenille has a natural shimmer.

  • Superior heat retention means you can save on energy bills.

  • Comes in a range of colours.

Cons:

  • Chenille can be a high-maintenance material.

  • The colour and pile are susceptible to sun damage.

Cotton curtains

Cotton curtains are popular because they're durable, easy to care for, and provide good light filtration. It's also an easy fabric to work with - especially if you want to make your own curtains.

Lighter forms of cotton are ideal for the summer, but you can also find thicker flush fabrics that block out more light and offer warmth in the room.

We stock a selection of beautiful cotton curtain fabrics, including minimalist tones that suit contemporary décor and some more traditional versions.

Shop Cotton

Pros:

  • Cotton is a cost-effective material.

  • Its versatility means anyone can find the perfect colour and design.

  • You can also benefit from extra durability with cotton and blends.

Cons:

  • Cotton can be prone to fading over time.

  • Cotton absorbs moisture, so it shouldn't be used in kitchens or bathrooms.

Velvet curtain fabric

Nothing says luxury like velvet, does it? It immediately creates an impression, and royal families have used it for centuries. When it comes to lavish designs, velvet always ignites inspiration, and it's a perfect fabric for curtains too.

The fabric combines cotton, silk and other fibres to create a short pile, which gives velvet its supremely soft feel.

Our velvet curtain fabric is available in various colours, including muted tones of red, green and blue, or you can opt for patterned designs to add vibrancy to your home.

Shop Velvet

Pros:

  • Velvet always makes an impression.

  • The natural thickness makes it a fantastic insulator.

  • It's an excellent insulator, keeping homes warm during winter.

Cons:

  • Velvet isn't a budget-friendly material.

  • It attracts moths and can fade over time.

Boucle fabric

Boucle is one of the more unique fabrics, featuring loops usually made from natural fibres such as cotton and wool. Boucle will consistently deliver if you're a fan of rustic looks, as its casual appearance is ideal for country-style interiors.

However, some forms of boucle can also find their place in more contemporary buildings - especially if you opt for a neutral tone like blue, grey or black.

Shop Boucle

Pros:

  • Boucle curtains are usually semi-sheer and provide privacy while letting more light in.

  • You can find a range of boucle designs.

  • The curtain fabric will keep the room warm.

Cons:

  • Boucle is a textured fabric that requires more maintenance than smooth curtain materials.

  • There are fewer colour choices due to the complex design of the boucle.
