What Are Voile Curtains?

Voile curtains are lightweight and sheer, designed to let natural light in while offering a level of privacy. Often referred to as sheer curtains, they’re a popular choice for living spaces that need natural light and privacy during the day.

Do Voile Curtains Provide Privacy?

Voile curtains provide privacy during the day by filtering natural light. However, they become transparent at night when the indoor lights are on, which means you can’t get full privacy with these net curtains. UK homeowners usually layer them with thicker curtains or blinds to block out light completely.

How Do You Measure Voile Curtains?

Measure the width of your curtain pole or track rather than the window itself. For a full look, choose voile curtains that are 1.5 to 2 times the width of the window. Then measure the drop from the pole to your desired length. Read our made-to-measure guides for more insight and expert guidance.

How Do You Hang Voile Curtains?

The method depends on the heading style. Eyelet curtains slide directly onto the pole, tab tops loop over it, and slot tops thread through. All options are easy to install and suitable for most curtain poles.

Are Voile Curtains Still In Style?

Voile curtains remain a popular choice for their timeless look and versatility. These modern net curtains are now available in a wide range of colours, textures, and patterns, suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors.
