Shop Elegant & Stylish Sheer Curtains at Spotlight

Finding the right curtains for your home can seem like a daunting task, but at Spotlight we make it simple to find everything you need for a stylish and practical window furnishings update. Sheer curtains are often the first starting point, as they offer light filtering and all-important daytime privacy benefits - as well as softening your bedroom or living area with rich fullness and delicate texture. Spotlight's selection of sheer curtains ranges from contemporary sheer linen curtains to traditional lace curtains and includes a variety of header types, colours, textures and size options to suit any window.

Explore A Range Of Sheer Curtain Types

The type of sheer curtains you choose for your home comes down to both styling choices and practical considerations. At Spotlight, our selection of sheer curtains includes:

• Rod Pocket Sheer Curtains & Tab Top Sheer Curtains: These curtain styles are simple to hang and are available in plain styles, printed designs and lace patterns. Simply thread them onto your curtain rod or pole and you're done! Remember to check the width of the ready-made curtain - a good rule of thumb is to allow at least double the width of your window for enough fullness or gathering. If your packaged sheer is 300 cm wide, that means it will cover around 150 cm of window width.
• Eyelet Sheer Curtains: Eyelet curtains are a popular style, featuring metal rings that lend a sleek, modern aesthetic to any space. This header type is also super easy to install by threading the rings onto your curtain rod. It's easy to identify the right size for your window as well with Spotlight. Many of our ready-made curtains come in a range of sizes, indicating the ideal window size range for any curtain pair. For example, a size of 80 - 140 x 223 cm means that the pair will cover a window between 80 cm to 140cm in width, with a height of 223 cm - no calculations for gathering required!
• Pencil Pleat Sheer Curtains: Another popular choice, these curtains offer the versatility of both classic and contemporary styling options. The header style features a delicate continuous row of gathering at the top and can be installed on either curtain tracks or curtain rods. Don't forget your curtain hooks or rings to complete your installation!
• Cafe Sheer Curtains: This timeless style has adorned kitchen windows for decades and is the perfect way to add a touch of cottage charm to your home.

For DIY sheer curtains, you can also explore our range of sheer curtain fabrics to truly customise colour, drop (height), fullness and texture. Our selection of multi-drop sheers comes in a variety of drops to suit windows from 69 cm in height all the way up to 250 cm. You can also discover great options for creating floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains with our cut, hem and hang curtain fabric range. This is a continuous curtaining fabric that comes complete with a curtain header and comes in drops of up to 290 cm.

Update Your Home's Look With Our Ceiling To Floor Sheer Curtains

Traditionally, curtains are displayed just above the top of a window frame. But playing around with the positioning of your curtains can completely transform any room in your home. Think about installing ceiling to floor sheer curtains. Draping down from your ceiling, past your windows and pooling on the ground makes your space feel elongated and creates the illusion of added height. Ceiling length sheer curtains instantly elevate any room, elevating your aesthetic and introduce a charming elegance!

Find Modern Bedroom Sheer Curtain Designs To Suit Your Style

Transform your bedroom into a calming environment with sheer curtains. Your bedroom is the place where you should feel most relaxed, so sheer curtains are an exceptional choice for your window dressings. These curtains allow natural light to filter through to your bedroom, instantly evoking feelings of relaxation and establishing a tranquil sanctuary. If you're wanting to incorporate sheer curtains into your bedroom for styling but prefer the practical benefits of blockout curtains, then don't worry! You can layer the two types of curtains to enjoy the styling benefits of sheer curtains during the day and switch to blockout curtains at night to help you get to sleep! No matter your style, sheer curtains effortlessly integrate into your home decor.

Choose From A Selection Of Coloured And White Sheer Or Transparent Curtains

With a variety of designs to choose from, our sheer curtains complement a variety of colour schemes. For those wanting to create a peaceful sanctuary in their home while adhering to a maximalist aesthetic, our coloured sheer curtains bring a pop of colour while allowing light to filter through. When it comes to sheer curtains however, a much more common colour tone is that of white or transparent curtains. These curtains offer a much more angelic appearance that effortlessly complement a variety of colour schemes.

Sheer Curtains FAQs

How to layer sheer & blackout curtains

Combining sheer curtains with blackout or blockout curtains is a popular and practical styling choice. This combination offers you light filtering, privacy and thermal insulating properties all on one window! If you're laying sheers with blackout drapes, it's important to consider the header types of both curtains and the hardware needed to install them.

If you have selected blockout eyelet curtains, combining with rod pocket sheer curtains is a great way to minimise the bulk and projection of your curtain rods from the window. Opt for a decorative rod set to hang the heavier blockout curtains (this will extend a little further from the wall), and a lighter and more slimline conduit rod to hang the sheers (this should sit closer to the wall and nest behind the blockouts). There are also great options for combining the tracks needed for blockout pencil pleat curtains and sheer curtains using double-ended brackets.

How to wash sheer curtains

Most sheer curtains are composed of lightweight synthetic materials such as polyester, meaning they are both durable and quick to dry. Check the care label on your curtains, making sure to avoid high spin cycles and hot temperatures to protect the delicate nature of the material. For pleated curtain styles, always ensure you remove the hooks before laundering!

Hot Tip: Rather than hang your sheer curtains on the washing line to dry, simply re-hang them on your rod or track. This will help to not only save space but minimise any wrinkles in your curtains as well!

How to hang sheer curtains

The header type of your curtain will influence the type of rod or track you need to hang your sheer curtains. Rod pocket curtains are best suited to conduit rods, eyelet curtains to more sturdy rod sets, and pleated curtains to either tracks or curtain rods.
