Why cotton is not suitable for curtains?
Cotton voile also lacks elasticity and wrinkles easily. When stretched, it often fails to return to its original size and shape.
What is the difference between net and voile curtains?
Net curtains are generally knitted, often with a coarse yarn and mainly in white or cream, whereas voiles are woven giving a finer but more robust fabric and because of this will take a lot of embellishment, often with different coloured yarns.
What type of fabric is best for curtains?
Your best option is 100% linen or linen blended with rayon. These are much more durable fabrics that are resistant to wrinkling and won’t fade as easily. Better yet, invest in decorator fabrics like those from Everhem, and you can rest assured your window treatments have already been treated for optimal durability.
