Day curtains come in sheer, lightweight fabrics that add a soft look to your interior. They keep your home feeling airy and bright without the harsh glare from the outdoors. During the day, these drapes will also provide privacy from prying eyes. Most day curtains typically come in white organza (a type of silk blend), but depending on your interior decor, you can select from Craft A Shade’s wide range of fabric and colour options.

Shopping tips to keep in mind

Fabric type

The type of material you select will impact the look and feel of your space. If you want a simple yet practical fabric, you can go with cotton or silk rayon blends that offer breathability. Linen and crinkled velvet have stronger textures that convey a casual chic look that complements most decor styles. These materials are light and billowy, lending an air of comfort to your living and dining areas as well as your bedrooms.

Colour

Most homeowners choose white day curtains to blend in seamlessly with any decor style. You can also consider neutral colours to complement your interior; a natural linen drape could serve as a backdrop for your furniture and provide a warm ambience to your space. If you want to make a strong style statement, you can opt for bold colours. Just remember to check how these colours look with sunlight streaming through the fabric.

Pattern

Patterned drapes can also enhance the decor of your home. These curtains could be embroidered or printed on and come in an endless selection of designs, from geometric motifs to floral print. Depending on your interior decor, if you have plain walls and simple furniture, a large patterned drape could provide an aesthetic focal point for your room. Conversely, if your space is decorated with a strong pattern, it might be best to stick with a small print or just a solid coloured fabric.
