Home Interior Decoration with Fabrics - Choosing Sheers for Windows in your Home

Don't make the messy beginner decorator mistake of choosing a different sheer fabric for every room in the house!

Oh, just think what it will look like from the street.....a rainbow house (if you used colored sheer fabric) or a textured tea cosy ( if you use patterned or net material).

It is vitally important when you select fabric for your windows, to visualise how your scheme will look like from the inside of the house as well as from the outside, then walk from room to room and look through and imagine what you will see.

A simple method is to keep something constant in your scheme so that you eye isn't continuously being threatened by different textures and colorways.

The best option is to keep the constant item your sheer and make that choice subtle when choosing the fabric to use.

Sheers have multiple uses:

they are create privacy at a window - for you looking out and others looking in
they reduce direct harsh sunlight entering your home
hey help a little with insulating your home.
They are also there to be a back drop for your drapery or curtains

Sheers used for privacy and as a dress side curtain.

This is usually where the problem arrises with color or texture selection, because to achieve the best result with a sheer, they should be all the same at every window of the house, your main drapery fabrics and styles can change from room to room, but here is the difficult part.....making sure that the sheer coordinates with these colors and fabrics. So before you select your curtain fabric, take a little time to think about what sheer you would like to go with it.

My suggestion is to pick the sheer fabric first and then you will be able to select all the drapery fabrics and ensure that none of them "scream" out at you when they are combined with the sheer at the window. Good Luck and happy sheer hunting!
