Cotton
If you want a casual and relaxed vibe, cotton curtains are perfect. They're lightweight and breathable, making them ideal for summer.
Linen
If you're after a cosy and relaxed feel, linen curtains have a beautiful natural texture that can give your room that perfect vibe. They're also durable and easy to maintain – although they can crease.
If your room gets lots of sunlight, natural fibres like cotton and linen may fade or deteriorate quickly.
Velvet
For a soft, plush feel and an inviting atmosphere, velvet curtains are a great choice. They provide a beautiful texture and have great thermal qualities, making them perfect for cooler homes.
Silk
If you want to add a touch of elegance to your room, silk curtains have a soft, flowing texture that can give your space a luxurious feel.
Polyester/nylon/acrylic
On a budget? Curtains of man-made fibres are a great option! They come in a wide range of colours and styles and won't break the bank. Man-made fibres like polyester, nylon, and acrylic are more resistant to fading and deterioration from the sun.
Sheer
If you want privacy without blocking out your view, sheer curtains are perfect. Most sheer curtains are made from polyester, and they allow natural light into the room. Plus, they're an inexpensive way to dress your windows.
Block-out
For rooms where you want to block out light, such as a bedroom or cinema room, a triple weave fabric can provide a balance of block-out and light filtering. But if you want 100% block-out, choose a coated fabric.
