Light & privacy: The perfect balance with semi-transparent curtains
The best daylight is soft, glare-free, and private. Semi-sheer curtains deliver just that—provided the fabric density and installation are correct.
How semi-transparent looks
- Diffusion: Fine yarns refract light, making shadows soft.
- Daytime privacy: Less visibility from outside; add privacy at night.
Fabric density & weaves
- Inbetween (thicker): More privacy, ideal for daytime curtains. View collection
- Voile (finer): Maximum lightness; upper floors or quieter streets.
- Matt, low gloss: fewer reflections, smoother image on the screen.
Layering for day & night
- Inside: Inbetween/Voile – friendly and open.
- Outside: Dim-out/Blackout – in the evening and during sleep phases.
Mounting & Covering
- Ceiling-high, generously extending to the sides; rails should be concealed wherever possible.
- Bottom finish depends on the zone (kiss vs. small break).
Room ideas
Living room
Inbetween as a daytime filter, occasionally draw a second layer in the evening – atmosphere instead of darkening.
bedroom
Friendly by day, calmingly dark by night; a light, matte palette for a relaxing feeling.
Home Office
Anti-glare screens; matte surfaces reduce reflections.
Care & Longevity
Gentle wash, low spin speed, hang damp; air and shake regularly.
Common errors & solutions
- Planned too narrow: edge gaps; plan for lateral overhang.
- Too shiny: reflections; choose matte.
