Curtains are categorized into day and night curtains. Day curtains are lightweight and sheer in fabric as compared to night curtains. The main purpose of a day curtain is to allow natural sunlight to shine through, but yet preserving privacy control during the day. Day curtains comes in materials such as nylon net, khadi cotton, organza or lace. Sheers work extremely well as a wall-to- wall décor creating a continuous backdrop that anchors a room by enhancing the look of the interiors. They provide the subtle ambient light that during the day time, and reduce the glare and intensity of direct sunlight by diffusing it from entering the room. They are not advised for privacy, and therefore they are usually matched with night curtains.
Sheers don’t work only with windows. They make excellent room dividers in an open-concept layout. Use them to gently separate spaces in a modern house or condo, or even in a studio apartment, without completely losing the sense of openness.
