Frequently Asked Questions

Do sheer curtains provide privacy?

Sheer curtains offer daytime privacy by diffusing light and obscuring views from the outside. However, at night, when interior lights are on, visibility increases.

Can I use sheer curtains alone?

Yes, especially in bright spaces like living rooms or kitchens. For bedrooms or more privacy, they're best layered with blackout or room-darkening curtains.

Are lace and sheer curtains machine washable?

Most lace and sheer curtains are machine washable, but always check the care label. Use a gentle cycle and air-dry to preserve delicate fabrics.

How do I layer sheer curtains with blackout curtains?

Hang sheer curtains closest to the window and layer blackout panels in front using a double curtain rod.

What size sheer curtains should I get?

Measure from your curtain rod to the desired length, either just above the floor or the windowsill. Choose a width that’s 1.5 to 2 times the width of your window for a full, gathered look.

What is the difference between lace and sheer curtains?

Sheer curtains are made from lightweight, semi-transparent fabrics and typically have a plain or lightly textured finish for a clean, modern look. Lace curtains are a specific type of sheer with open-weave, decorative patterns—often floral or ornamental—commonly used for vintage, traditional, or romantic decor.

What is the difference between sheer and voile curtains?

Voile is a type of sheer fabric made from cotton, polyester, or a blend. It is lightweight, soft, and slightly crisper than some other sheers. Sheer curtains, as a broader category, can include voile, chiffon, organza, and other similar fabrics.
