What's the Difference Between Linen and Linen-Look Curtains?

Pure linen curtains are a stunning choice that will stand out in the living room and bedroom, but they are also an expensive choice. Linen curtains are vulnerable to mould and mildew, and can be damaged by UV rays. You can also get the same look from linen-blend curtains or even imitation linen curtains that are made from materials like polyester. This blend of materials offers extra strength and flexibility, and retains the beautiful appearance of natural linen without hurting your wallet. Polyester curtains are resistant to UV light, non-absorbent and unaffected by mildew, and are just as durable as natural linen curtains.

Do Linen Curtains Block Out Light?

The function of any pair of curtains is dependent on the curtain fabric. Natural linen curtains are designed to filter sunlight through the fabric, however, it does not fully block out light unless it features a blockout coating. Combine the benefits of sheer linen curtains and blockout linen curtains by layering your curtains on a double curtain rod. This means you can enjoy the light filtering benefits of sheer linen curtains during the day and the privacy of blockout curtains in the evening.

Picking a Heading Style That Fits Your Space's Look

Our linen curtains are available in eyelet, pencil pleat styles, tab top and pinch pleat styles, so you've got plenty of style options to choose from. These curtain headings affect the way curtains fall and hang. For instance, Spotlight's S-Fold curtains installed on an S-Fold curtain track feature a header that creates waves or folds throughout the curtains. These curtains are ideal for a space where you're wanting to introduce a pop of luxury. For a more casual look, you can't post shopping our selection of classic eyelet and pinch or pencil pleat styles. The casual appearance of eyelet and pleated curtains is timeless and is sure to transcend trends, so you can enjoy the numerous benefits these curtains bring for years to come.

What Colours Work Best for Linen Curtains?

Spotlight offers a range of linen curtains with a variety in colours so you can shop for a pair of linen curtains that perfectly match your decorative style. Due to their natural fibres, linen curtains work best when produced in complementary natural tones, earthy colours and even timeless whites and soft greys. Natural linen toned curtains showcasing beige hues and other softy earthy tones are ideal for spaces where you're wishing to establish a more laid-back aesthetic. These curtains are effortlessly homely in their ambience and bring about a sense of warmth that sets them apart. These tones are great for living rooms where you're wanting to establish a cosy space for both you and your guests to enjoy. White linen curtains are also easy to incorporate into a range of decorative styles. White and grey tones are versatile colours for linen curtains. These tones can act as a subtle window covering that allows the decor of maximalist style to stand out while also complementing a more modern style of decorating.

Best Spots at Home for Linen Curtains

Spotlight's linen curtains bring a sense of tranquillity to any living room or bedroom, transforming your space into a peaceful oasis. When installing linen curtains in your home, avoid high-humidity areas like bathrooms or laundries, as the moisture arising in these rooms can cause mould to build on the curtains.

Measuring Linen Curtains for the Perfect Fit

An ideal drop for linen curtains is where they slightly "kiss the floor" - that is, sit ever so slightly above the floor. When linen curtains are measured to reach all the way down to the floor, they can then pick up any dirt or dust from your floor that may cause staining to the curtain fabric. For more information on how to measure your windows for curtains, check out our helpful Window Measurement Guide.

Are Linen Curtains Machine Washable?

Most linen curtains can be washed in a washing machine on a delicate cycle. Use cool or warm water and a gentle detergent, and hang them out to dry instead of tumble drying them. Avoid mixing white and coloured linen curtains in case of colour bleeding. Delicate sheet linen curtains should be hand-washed to prevent tearing. As always, make sure to follow any provided washing instructions.
