Sheer Curtains
Delicate and translucent, sheer curtains allow ample natural light to filter through, while offering a whisper of privacy and an ethereal, breezy ambiance to your space.
Semi-Sheer Curtains
Semi-sheer strikes a balance between privacy and light diffusion, allowing a soft glow to permeate your room while maintaining a hint of transparency.
Light-Filtering Curtains
Designed to soften harsh sunlight and reduce glare, light-filtering curtains offer privacy while still providing a pleasant amount of natural light to illuminate your space.
Blackout Curtains
The heavyweight champ of light control, blackout curtains are specifically designed to block virtually all incoming light, making them perfect for bedrooms.
Choosing Curtain Length
The right length is essential for a polished, balanced look in your space.
Sill-Length Curtains
The shortest of standard curtain sizes, sill-length curtains hang just above the window sill for a clean, casual look.
Apron-Length Curtains
Extending just below the window apron, this length feels crisp and unfussy in a modern or minimalist setting.
Floor-Length Curtains
Gracefully kissing the floor, this style provides a timeless look that adds a sense of luxury and a hint of drama.
Puddle-Length Curtains
Intentionally longer, the excess fabric gently pools on the floor adding a lavish accent to formal spaces.
Pick A Hanging Style
When choosing a hanging style, consider the desired aesthetic and functionality – whether it's the classic, gathered look of curtains with a rod pocket or the clean and modern appearance of curtains with a tunnel tab.

Don't Forget Hardware
Choose from many styles, finishes, and sizes to suit your space (and your taste).
How To Hang Curtains
Step 01:
Measure the height and width of your window, and determine the desired curtain length. Gather the necessary tools, such as a curtain rod, brackets, screws, a level, and a bit of free time!
Step 02:
Use a tape measure and level to mark where you want the curtain rod and brackets. Making sure they are leveled and aligned, install the brackets and mount the curtain rod.
Step 03:
If using rod pocket curtains, simply slide the curtain rod through the pocket. For curtains with grommets or tabs, insert the rod through the designated openings.
Step 04:
Step back and assess the length and overall appearance. Smooth out any wrinkles and make slight adjustments if necessary.
