Sheer, linen, cotton… How well choose the curtains for your windows?

Linen curtains for windows

Linen curtains are made from linen fabrics. They are very aesthetic, and show lightness and elegance. They have another significant advantage: linen curtains have a nice hold and a nice drape in front of the windows. You can find them in very natural or quite colorful shades. They are particularly suitable for dressing the windows of the living room and bedrooms thanks to the warm aspect they give to the room. They also make it possible to filter the entry of light for a subdued atmosphere.

Cotton curtains for windows

Cotton canvas curtains are light curtains that can be found white or colored. There are plain models or with printed patterns. They make it possible to create pleasant and warm atmospheres without weighing down the style and decor of the room. Their little plus is that they are very easy to maintain. Alone or as a duo, you can opt for this type of curtain in living rooms and bedrooms. Thanks to the many sizes available, you can dress small windows but also large bay windows in the house or apartment.

String curtains for windows

Are you looking for a light, colorful and decorative curtain? This is the string curtain you need! Indeed, this type of curtain is ideal for bringing pep to a room, because it comes in multiple very punchy colors. Trendy and creative, you can use it to dress your windows, especially in summer. As soon as the cold arrives, swap it for a thicker curtain. The thread curtain can also be used to decorate a door, or to create a separation inside a room.

Sheer curtains for windows

Sheer curtains add the final decorative touch to a room. They allow a light and natural decoration. If they are well chosen, they can modify the general style of a room and awaken a dull or too classic atmosphere. They have a more aesthetic than practical function, as they do not protect privacy, especially when the light is on indoors. If their transparency is sought after and appreciated because it allows the sun and the light to pass through, in the evening, it is necessary to have thick curtains to protect you from view, especially if your home has direct vis-à-vis .
