How To Style Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains are a great addition to any space. They’re versatile enough to work in just about any room and can be styled in a number of ways to suit your home’s aesthetic. They’re great for adding a soft, subtle touch to your windows and won’t overpower your existing decor. They’re also lightweight, affordable and easy to install.
Here are a few ideas on how to style sheer curtains around your home.
1. Layer them with room darkening curtains
A great way to style sheer curtains, especially in the bedroom, is to layer them with a thicker, room darkening curtain over the top or behind. Sheer curtains are made from translucent fabric, which makes them a great choice for when you want to maintain some privacy during the day, but would also like some light to filter into your bedroom. Adding a curtain made from a blockout fabric gives you the flexibility to be able to keep the sun out when you need to. Draw them closed at night and enjoy a restful sleep.
2. Hang them over glass doorways or large windows
When hung over glass doorways or large windows, sheer curtains make a great style statement. They diffuse natural light and can actually give the impression that a space is brighter and lighter than it actually is, especially if they’re hung floor to ceiling or in a large row. If you have a wall or windows or a large glass sliding doorway, dress them in sheers, it really adds that ‘wow-factor’ to your home. Sheer curtains hung over large spaces are glamorous and functional – they’re great for living spaces as they’ll both increase the privacy of your home and they’ll ensure the natural light is still able to filter through.
3. Drape them over roller blinds
A great way to style your sheers is to drape them over opaque or semi-opaque rollers blinds. This gives you the best of both worlds – the soft romantic look of sheer curtains and the option of more control over light and air flow in your home when you need it. This is an excellent option for bedrooms, living spaces and rooms like your study or home office.
4. Vary panels for added interest
Layer sheer curtains panels in different colours or textures over your windows to add visual interest to your space. Sheer curtains in varying shades can add depth to your space. If you’re looking to give your decor a little boost, then this a great way to make your space feel elegant and well-executed.
5. Try subtle colour
At The Blinds Gallery, our range of sheer curtains are available in a wide array of colours. Whilst classic white is a great choice for making your space feel light, bright and airy, you might also want to consider sheer curtains in other soft and subtle shades, like blue, grey and cream. For a more daring look you might even consider going bold with black sheer curtains, or opt for sheer curtains with metallic accents.
6. Hang them over venetian blinds
Sheer curtains pair beautifully with venetian blinds, especially when choosing them in the same colour. Venetian blinds are durable, practical and timeless. With their horizontal slat design they’re ideal for homeowners who want to enjoy complete control over the light and privacy of a room, but not everyone prefers the look of blinds. Styling them with sheer curtains will soften up their look and give your space a dreamy appeal.
7. Hang them over your bed
Sheer curtains aren’t just for windows! Try hanging them creatively over your bed, or even using them to divide spaces around your home!
