Types of sheer curtains

The range also includes sheer blinds and curtains for rooms that need filtered light across different window types.

Voile curtains

This delicate, lightweight sheer fabric adds an understated elegance to any room. Voile curtains come in plain, patterned or lace edge varieties and have a good drape to them.

Net curtains

Net curtains are knitted rather than woven and are coarser than voile fabrics. They provide a good level of daytime privacy while still filtering through a decent amount of natural light.

Lace curtains

These classic curtains are great for adding a traditional or romantic touch as a window treatment and the intricate designs help to add an element of privacy.

Advantages of high-quality sheer curtains

Sheer curtains are made from lightweight curtain fabrics than their heavy and opaque counterparts. While their lightness gives them their special quality, it also makes them more delicate. High-quality fabric will stand the test of time and resist the yellowing that strong UV light can sometimes cause on low-quality white sheer curtains. If you opt for a looser woven fabric, such as net curtains, then good-quality materials can mean that you won’t have to fret about fraying and tearing. Linen sheer curtains offer a natural texture that works well with relaxed interiors and tactile furnishings.

How to choose sheer curtains that are right for you

When making the decision to purchase sheer curtains in Australia, understanding your main reason for doing so is important. If privacy or bright light are your primary concerns, then heavier semi-transparent curtains with a denser weave are a good fit. Texture, colour, and draping might be more important details to attend to if styling is near the top of your list. Try to also consider the furniture, fixtures, and decorative objects in the living room (or otherwise) that they’ll be in, being sure not to create a conflict in the aesthetic. If you like a dimmer room, you can go for blackout curtains, which are great at blocking out light. For taller openings, floor to ceiling sheer curtains can draw the eye upwards and provide consistent coverage across the window.

What are sheer curtains used for?

Sometimes bright sunlight can flood a room in an overwhelming way. Sheer curtains can be used in this situation to filter out harsh sunlight without blocking it altogether. Their light-diffusing qualities help take the sharpness out of the hot midday sun. Semi-sheer curtains provide additional protection and privacy. Some simply use them for their aesthetic, to add a soft ambience to a room.

What’s the difference between voile and sheer?

Sheer curtains include a variety of fabrics that allow the light to come through. Voile is a specific type of material that’s made of a densely woven blend of cotton with linen and polyester.

Do sheer curtains provide privacy?

Some will provide more privacy than others, depending on the style. Sheer curtains are not designed to be blockout curtains, which keep the light out completely. They are more of a type of layering for a window, letting a partial amount of light through.

What kind of fabric are sheer curtains made of?

In Australia, sheer curtains are made in a range of natural and synthetic fabrics, as well as mixtures of both. The different types of sheer curtain fabrics include gauze, chiffon, netting, silk, linen, cotton, polyester and even lace.
