Sheer &
Layered Curtains
Soft daylight. Thoughtful privacy.
A room that changes with your day.
Combine the lightness of a sheer with a more opaque outer curtain. Each layer has a purpose; together, they give your windows more flexibility.

Two layers.
Different roles.
Light, privacy and texture do not need to come from one fabric. Plan the sheer and outer curtain together, then operate them separately as the room’s needs change.
01
The sheer layer
Diffuses daylight and softens the view. Weave and density affect how much you can see through it; daytime screening is not a guarantee of privacy after dark.
02
The outer curtain
Adds depth and a more opaque layer. Choose dimout or blackout according to the room, and confirm the selected fabric’s light-control performance.
03
The track arrangement
Lets each layer move independently. Depth, overlap and drawn-back space need to be considered alongside the window, wall and ceiling details.
From morning to evening
A softer window.
A more considered room.
In a living or dining room, use the sheer to filter daytime light while the outer drapes frame the window. Close the more opaque layer when evening privacy is needed.
For bedrooms, discuss both fabric opacity and the complete window arrangement. Blackout fabric blocks light through the textile, but the space around the curtain can still admit light.
Choose the atmosphere you want — then check how the fabric performs.
Finishing the top line
The heading shapes the whole curtain.
Wave / S-fold
A continuous, regular fold with a quieter architectural appearance. It requires a compatible track and heading setup. Confirm fabric suitability and space for the folds before specifying it.
Pinch pleat
A more structured heading that suits both classic and contemporary rooms. Pleat formation, fabric fullness and the drawn-back stack should be considered as part of the complete design.
These are heading references, not a fixed product specification. Available fabrics and compatible hardware are confirmed during the discussion of your windows.
Before you choose
Your questions,
answered.
Will sheer curtains give me privacy at night?
Not reliably. Privacy depends on the fabric and the difference between indoor and outdoor light. When the room is lit and it is darker outside, a sheer may reveal the interior. Plan a more opaque layer if evening privacy is important.
Can I combine sheers with blackout curtains?
Yes. Independently operated layers let you use the sheer for soft daylight and close the blackout curtain when you want stronger light control. Fabric selection and track coverage both matter; light can still enter around the edges of the installed treatment.
Will two layers fit my existing track or ceiling recess?
That needs to be checked. Two layers require suitable track arrangements and enough depth for the fabrics to move freely. Share photographs of the window and ceiling, or drawings of the recess, before deciding on the layout.
Should I choose wave / S-fold or pinch pleat?
Wave / S-fold creates a regular, flowing rhythm using a compatible track and heading arrangement. Pinch pleat gives a more structured top. The right choice depends on the look you prefer, the fabric, and the space available when the curtains are drawn back.
How should I care for my curtains?
Care varies with fibre, weave, lining and finish. Check the selected fabric’s care instructions before cleaning. Do not assume a sheer or linen-look curtain is machine washable, and allow for any stated shrinkage or cleaning restrictions.
