Fabric & lining

Choose the light
you live with.

The face fabric is what you see in the room. The lining sits behind it, toward the window. Choose them together so the finished piece feels right in use.

01 / Soft daylight

Unlined

Light passes through the face fabric. This feels airy, but silhouettes may show when the lights are on inside. Best when you do not need much privacy.

Quoted separately from the lined ranges.

02 / An everyday layer

Light-filtering

A second layer softens incoming light and gives the fabric more body. It improves privacy compared with an unlined piece, but it does not make a room dark.

Included in our sample price ranges.

03 / Less light through

Blackout

A denser backing blocks light through the cloth. Light can still come around the sides, top and bottom; the fit and hardware matter too.

Adds $60–$140 per window.

A swatch belongs
beside your wall.

We bring a selection of smooth, textured and patterned fabrics to your measuring visit. You can borrow up to five swatches for seven days at no extra charge, then return them to the workroom by appointment.

Look at them in the morning, with your evening lamps on, and beside the furniture you already have.

Before you choose

Tell us whether the window opens, whether a radiator or deep sill sits below it, and how much privacy the room needs.

We write the face fabric, lining, heading and finished length into the quote. You approve those choices before we order or cut.

Bring the choices home.

Request a measuring visit and tell us the colors and textures you have in mind.
