Curtains: The light filter that defines the atmosphere
Curtains are much more than just fabrics hung in front of a window; they are responsible for modulating natural light, the most valuable resource in interior design. Their selection determines the privacy, temperature, and atmosphere of a room. From sheer curtains that allow sunlight to filter through, creating a diffused effect, to substantial fabrics that add drama and insulation, our collection covers the entire functional and aesthetic spectrum. We favor natural fibers and artisanal techniques like macramé, which add a tactile dimension to walls, transforming the window covering into a focal point.
Typology according to fabric and function
| Guy | Technical Specifications | Effect on Space |
|---|---|---|
| Linen and Curtains | Semi-transparent fabrics, fluid drape, irregular natural textures. | They maximize light while maintaining daytime privacy. Ideal for Nordic-style living rooms. |
| Opaque Cotton | Higher weight, partial light and sound blocking, solid colors. | They add substance and dress the window with elegance. Perfect for bedrooms that require darkness. |
| Macrame and Fibers | Handmade knots, boho-chic aesthetic, decorative light filtering (shadow play). | They function as room dividers or wall decorations, beyond the window. |
| Printed | Geometric or botanical motifs, dyes resistant to sun fading. | They introduce dynamism and personality into neutral or children's rooms. |
Advantages of dressing windows properly
- Thermal control: Suitable curtains act as an insulating barrier, retaining heat in winter and blocking direct solar radiation in summer.
- Acoustic comfort: Textiles absorb sound reverberation, reducing echo and making the room quieter and more welcoming.
- UV Protection: They filter harmful sun rays, protecting wooden floors, carpets and furniture from premature fading.
- Adjustable privacy: They allow you to manage visibility from the outside without completely sacrificing the entry of natural light.
Tips for a perfect fall
For a contemporary and elegant look, install the curtain rod as close to the ceiling as possible, not directly above the window frame; this will make the ceilings appear higher. Regarding length, ideally the curtain should touch the floor ("kissing the floor") or trail 1-2 cm for a romantic effect, but never be too short. If you're aiming for a sense of spaciousness, choose curtains in the same color as the walls. If you prefer contrast, opt for complementary colors to the cushions or rugs. For a more voluminous effect, use a rod that extends 15-20 cm beyond each side of the window, ensuring the curtains are raised without blocking the glass.
Frequently asked questions about curtains
-
Which hanging system is better: eyelets or loops?
Eyelets (metal rings) slide more easily and create perfect, modern waves. Loops offer a more rustic and informal look.
-
How to wash linen curtains?
Cold wash and delicate cycle are recommended, avoiding strong spin cycles. Hanging them while damp helps the weight smooth wrinkles naturally.
-
Are two curtains necessary per window?
Aesthetically, two panels (one on each side) frame the window better and offer symmetry, although in very narrow windows a single panel may suffice.
-
What opacity should you choose for a living room?
Generally, medium opacity or sheer curtains that allow light to enter are preferred, reserving "blackout" fabrics for bedrooms.
Texture and light
At Sklum, we see curtains as the dress of a room. They soften the straight lines of architecture and add movement. Our collection aims to offer fabrics that delight both the touch and the eye, transforming harsh light into an enveloping clarity that enhances the livability of your home.
