Cotton Fabric for Curtains

What to consider when choosing cotton curtain fabric

Cotton curtains are a great way to dress your windows. They come in many colours, patterns and weights, making them suitable for nearly any style. But with so many choices, it can be a bit difficult knowing which one is right for you and your space. We’re here to help! We recommend you keep in mind the following:

• Light control: How much light do you want entering your space? Sheer cotton curtain fabrics like voile are lightweight and provide an airy feel to a room, filling it with a soft, diffused light. More tightly woven or heavyweight cotton curtain fabrics offer significant light control, and can even be paired with lining fabric.
• Privacy: In many ways related to light control, cotton curtain fabrics come in different weights and weaves to offer different degrees of privacy. Sheer curtains offer some privacy by way of silhouettes and shadows, though more heavyweight cotton fabrics or lined cotton curtains offer complete privacy.
• Style: What style of cotton curtains do you want? Read our guides on curtain fullness and curtain headings to find the perfect one for your space.
• Drape: Lightweight cotton curtain fabric drapes beautifully and creates a relaxed feel. Heavyweight cotton curtain fabric provides more structure and a more formal look.
• Lining: Do you want your curtains to block all light or prevent heat from escaping? It’s always a good idea to think about what is the best lining for your curtains.

Lastly, remember to order samples. They can help you to assess the true colour, weight, and texture of the cotton curtain fabric before making your final decision.
