Choose the most suitable lining for your curtains
A lining is an additional layer of fabric added to curtains or Roman blinds to improve their appearance, performance and durability. Adding this extra layer gives curtains more body, volume and structure, helping them hang beautifully and creating a fuller, more luxurious finish. Lining can also provide additional benefits such as light control, insulation and protection for the face fabric. All Ada & Ina lining fabrics are available in white or ivory, helping to preserve the true colour and appearance of your chosen curtain fabric. The right lining can make a noticeable difference to both the look and feel of your finished curtains.
Cotton lining
195 g/m²Cotton lining is a lightweight, natural fabric that adds an extra layer to your curtains or Roman blinds. It helps give the finished product more strength, stability and structure while allowing the main fabric to drape beautifully. Cotton lining also provides a moderate level of light filtration, reducing some daylight without creating a blackout effect. It is a good choice when you want a simple, breathable lining with a natural feel.
Blackout lining
260 g/m²Blackout lining is a slightly heavier fabric than standard cotton lining and adds extra body and structure to curtains or Roman blinds. The blackout lining fabric does not allow any light to pass through it. It is especially suitable for bedrooms, nurseries and other spaces where strong light control is important. Blackout lining can also improve insulation and help protect the main curtain fabric from sunlight.

Thermal lining
150 g/m²A slightly thicker fabric than cotton lining, used for thermally insulated curtains. Thermal lining helps improve insulation by preventing heat from escaping in winter and protecting your home from heat in summer — insulated curtains often help with energy costs. It also softens daylight and glare, but does not provide complete blackout.

It provides excellent light blocking while adding extra body, softness and fullness to your curtains.

270 g/m²Cotton with interlining — thicker than normal blackout, cotton or thermal lining. It offers all the benefits of cotton lining and is excellent for thermal insulation, and ideal for curtains and Roman blinds to improve drape and appearance.
