Curtain Lining
Curtain lining is often taken for granted. There are many types and they perform many different functions, but to keep it simple.

Often linings are on a separate tape and can be removed and washed or replaced.
They can block out unwanted light and reduce street noise.
They provide a professional finish to window treatments, concealing the hems and raw edges.
So to conclude, it is a wise choice to line your curtains.
