Light Filtering Curtains
Light-filtering curtains provide the perfect balance of privacy and natural light. Designed to gently diffuse sunlight, they create a warm, welcoming glow without fully blocking your view or darkening the room.
At Linen Chest, you’ll find light-filtering privacy curtains in Canada in a wide range of fabrics, colours, and hanging styles. Shop linen light-filtering curtains and woven cotton blends. Choose from soft neutrals, subtle textures, or modern solids.
Need a tailored fit? Explore our custom window coverings to personalize your fabric, length, and style.
Benefits of Light Filtering Curtains
Aside from creating an inviting atmosphere while offering privacy during the day, light-filtering drapes have other advantages. They reduce glare on screens, help protect furniture from UV rays, and let you enjoy natural light without sacrificing comfort. These curtains that let light in are ideal for spaces where you want to maintain brightness—like living rooms, kitchens, home offices, or relaxed bedrooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are light-filtering curtains?
These are curtains made from semi-opaque fabrics that soften sunlight while offering moderate privacy.
What’s the difference between light-filtering and blackout curtains?
Light-filtering curtains let in natural light and reduce glare, while blackout curtains are designed to block nearly all light for total darkness.
Can I use light-filtering curtains in a bedroom?
Sure, especially if you prefer a bright, airy bedroom. For more privacy or darkness, consider layering with blackout drapes.
Do light-filtering curtains provide UV protection?
Yes, to a degree. They help reduce sun exposure and minimize fading of furniture and flooring, though not as much as blackout or thermal curtains.
What’s the difference between sheer and light-filtering curtains?
Sheer curtains are more transparent and mainly decorative, while light filtering curtains offer more coverage and better privacy.
How do I choose the right curtain size?
Measure from your curtain rod to where you want the curtain to fall—just above the floor or sill. For a fuller look, choose a width 1.5 to 2 times your window’s width.
