Sheer and Net Curtains: Voile, Net and Lace Types, Daytime Privacy, Layering, Washing and Prices
Sheer and net curtains soften harsh light, keep daytime privacy and make windows look finished without blocking the view completely. Voile is smooth and flowing, net has a visible mesh and lace has a decorative pattern. They are most useful layered in front of heavier curtains. This guide covers types, privacy, layering, colours, washing and indicative prices. See also double curtains.
Voile, net and lace
Voile is fine and flowing, net is a mesh and lace is patterned. Choose by privacy and the look you want.
Privacy and light
Sheers give daytime privacy but become see-through at night when lights are on, so add a heavier layer.
Layering
Hang a sheer on a front rod and a heavy curtain behind. See living room curtain design.
Colours
White and cream are the most flexible, and soft tints or embroidered borders add detail. See curtain colours and combinations.
