Frequently asked questions about the Textile curtains category
What are Textile curtains and what are they used for?
Textile curtains are fabric window coverings (linen, cotton, polyester and blends) used to control light, provide privacy and enhance interior decor. The Textile curtains category offers various styles, textures and colours, commonly in sizes like 140x245–140x260 cm, suitable for living rooms and bedrooms.
What fabrics are used in Textile curtains and how do they affect light?
Textile curtains use linen, cotton, polyester and blends; heavy weaves provide blackout or strong dimming, while lightweight semi-sheer fabrics diffuse light and preserve privacy. Choose heavy or lined curtains for bedrooms and lighter semi-sheer options for living areas.
Can Textile curtains be used in the bathroom?
Textile curtains can be used in bathrooms if you choose moisture-resistant fabrics and antimicrobial treatments; synthetic blends with water-repellent finishes work best. Check care instructions and ensure the curtains dry quickly to prevent mould.
How do Textile roller blinds differ from regular textile curtains?
Textile roller blinds are fabric panels on a rolling mechanism that coil up, offering compact storage and precise light control. Unlike traditional drapes, roller blinds take up less window space and suit kitchens, bathrooms and modern interiors.
How to choose the size of Textile curtains for a window?
Measure the window width and height; common sizes in the range include 140x245 and 140x260 cm. Add 20–30 cm to the width for gathers; for full blackout pick a wider panel and choose length to the sill or floor depending on style.
Which Textile curtains are stylish for a modern apartment?
Stylish options for a modern apartment are minimalist solid-colour models like YORK or CAMPO, neutral shades (grey, beige) and SANSO styles with a tunnel header. Look for refined fabric texture and neat seams for a contemporary clean look.
How to care for Textile curtains and can they be machine washed?
Care depends on fabric: many polyester and blend curtains can be machine washed on a gentle 30°C cycle; linen and natural fibres may require delicate washing or dry cleaning. Always check the product care label and dry curtains flat or hung to avoid distortion.
How do SANSO tunnel models differ from classic loop/eyelet curtains?
SANSO tunnel models have a top channel for the pole, producing even gathers and a minimalist look. Classic loop/eyelet curtains create fuller folds and glide more easily on a rod; choose based on the desired aesthetic and pole type.
