Curtains transform interiors. The type of curtain design is just as important as the sheer curtain fabric in order to create the desired aesthetic. Some of the most common designs are rod pocket, pinch pleat, goblet, tailored pleat, box pleat and eyelet style that influence the drape and look of curtains.Fabrics must be chosen to align with the design style and one must also consider whether the curtains will be full length or just provide window dressing. Apart from the design of the curtains, the fabric is important to convey richly luxurious looks and it pays to invest more in the fabric because curtains will last a long time.

Fabric can be classified as the synthetic man-made type and natural fiber fabric. Synthetics include a blend of polyester, acrylic, viscose, rayon. Natural fiber fabrics include linen, cotton, and silk. Synthetics are easy to care for, durable and have a higher degree of colorfastness. You can also get a variety of woven patterns, prints, and textures in synthetic materials.A thickness of thread used and the weave also has an effect on the drape and light filtering properties. Sheers and nets are light and allow privacy while diffusing light. Thicker and more closely woven fabrics like velvets drape better and give a more luxurious look. If a luxurious look is desired then silks and satins hang well and suit full-length curtains.

On the other hand, velvet gives a deep, rich feel and creates a richly royal ambiance.One can source a variety of curtain fabric online from retailers specializing in upholstery materials but the thing to keep in mind is that the fabric, pattern, weave, and thickness should blend in with the decor. Polyester blends are the most popular and with good reason. It is easy to wash and maintain. There is a vast choice of textures, woven patterns, and prints as well as textures available in polyester. Polyester is also priced just right.Online fabric curtain sellers offer fabrics for curtains by the yard and one can order out the desired length. One can just as well buy cut pieces but it is essential to have measurements in mind otherwise it can result in wastage.

Layering is popular and one can blend sheer fabric with a richer and darker fabric in the background to block out light when desired. It is expensive but there is an aura of luxury that is hard to match with layered curtains. However, single fabrics can be no less impressive provided one chooses the right type such as brocades with rich, woven patterns.The choice of fabric is also influenced by the pleats and curtain type. The more pleats there are, the more fabric you will need and it can add to the weight. Wide drapery fabric is best in such cases. Thicker fabrics can be more expensive and the fittings also need to be stronger to take the weight.
