Window Treatments
Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains are lightweight, translucent window treatments that filter natural light while providing daytime privacy. Made from delicate fabrics like voile, organza, or lightweight linen, sheers soften harsh sunlight and create an airy, ethereal atmosphere that heavier treatments cannot achieve.
Often layered behind heavier drapes, sheers provide flexibility—offering privacy when drapes are open during the day. Used alone, they create a romantic, light-filled aesthetic popular in coastal, Scandinavian, and modern interiors. The gentle movement of sheers in a breeze adds life and softness to any room.

Placement & Usage Tips
Mount sheers closest to the window, with heavier drapes on a separate rod in front. For a layered look, use a double rod. Sheers benefit from generous fullness—3x window width creates beautiful, billowy effect.
💡 Pro Tip
White and off-white sheers work universally, but colored sheers can filter light beautifully—imagine the warm glow through peach or the cool tones through pale blue. Consider how filtered light will affect room colors.
