Orkney White Voile Curtain

Why choose Voile curtains?

Voile curtains combine style and practicality. Ideal for rooms that are overlooked, they allow light in, while reducing the ability of people outside to look inside. The lightweight, semi-sheer fabric creates a light, airy ambience that’s calming and peaceful and people often choose them for this reason alone. They’re also good for wide windows and patio doors, allow you to open your doors and windows wide, but stop your room feeling over-exposed.

Do Voiles provide privacy at night?

Voile curtains and Roman blinds are designed to diffuse light rather than block it out, so in the evenings they may not provide total privacy. To enhance privacy levels we recommend layering your Voile curtains over a blind that you can lower when require, or pair your Voile curtains or Roman blind with our luxury curtains for cooler evenings when extra warmth is required.

Do Voiles come in blackout fabrics?

The beauty of Voile curtains and Roman blinds is their sheer appearance, and therefore they are not available as a blackout. However, if you love the look of Voiles but want the benefits of a blackout product, we recommend layering your Voile curtains over a blind in a blackout fabric. Similarly you could team your Voile curtains or Roman blind with standard curtains lined with a blackout fabric.

What curtain header should I choose for my Voiles?

In most cases the header style you choose for your Voile curtains is down to personal choice, but there are some instances where one curtain header may be preferable. For example our wave header accentuates the light and airy nature of the fabric, while a double pinch pleat allows for an elegant long drop, particularly on large expanses of glass and on doors.

Are Voiles suitable for bay windows?

Yes they are. We offer bespoke shaped curtain tracks which are ideal for bay windows.
