Suppose you are lucky enough to have a holiday home in a region where the gentle heat makes the crickets sing, a house in which the sun of the Côte d’Azur penetrates with all its rays or even a house by the ocean. In that case, you will have to filter the light by dressing the windows with sheers or light curtains.
Lightweight fabrics for summer curtains
A practical solution that combines efficiency and elegance: curtains in linen or cotton voile, or fancy curtains with soft transparency, to protect you from light, prying eyes and heat.
To make a pair of summer curtains, choose a light fabric, such as silk, lace, a cotton veil (beautiful and fresh) or even a wonderful linen fabric (love at first sight). The fabric being naturally thin, don’t forget to plan for a nice width and don’t hesitate to have it broken mainly on the ground (longer than the ground level) so that your curtains can, once the windows and bay windows are wide open, float elegantly in the wind! The supple and vaporous fall of these curtains will give a Mediterranean style to the room. A most romantic effect, especially for a sea view balcony!
The colours of summer curtains
In terms of colours, the curtains of summer houses traditionally Look pure white, off-white or ivory colours. But in recent years, transparent linens in soft shades such as mauve or pale grey blackout curtains or very current and assertive colours, such as purple, black or anthracite grey, have also been rising. Be confident in your tastes and your personality.
Borrowing from a beautiful lightness, your new curtains will bring a soft note to the decoration of your home. Mesrideaux.fr will be happy to make a pair of light curtains to your measurements that will dress your sunny window with great chic.
Tips for choosing and ordering your blackout curtains
As everyone knows, to be in good shape, you must, above all, sleep well! And to sleep well, it is necessary to meet all the conditions for a good night’s sleep: good quality bedding, quiet room, minimum heating and complete darkness. There’s nothing like installing blackout curtains on your bedroom windows to darken a room.
The choice of an intrinsical blackout fabric
You should know that curtains made with blackout fabric, a blackout suede, for example, are all-in-one curtains. Indeed, blackout curtains are a very effective insulator that will protect you from light, heat, cold and prying eyes! They make it possible to make a room without shutters 95% dark, ideal for helping you fall asleep at any time of day, giving the room an elegant and warm style.
This type of insulating curtains is often used in the rooms of children who have difficulty falling asleep in the light or with daylight or for people with light and disturbed sleep.
Made in fabrics combining technicality and aesthetics, they do not need to be lined while displaying beautiful flexibility of movement and an impeccable fall.
Adding a blackout liner to any fabric
The second solution is to choose a classic upholstery fabric for your curtains and to provide a blackout lining instead of the traditional sateen. Thus, you will get a pair of thermal blackout curtains, making it possible to obtain complete darkness in the room while benefiting from a huge choice of decorative fabrics without restriction.
