Sheer curtains
Light, airy fabrics that filter glare and give daytime privacy without shutting out the view.
From $401 for a 1.8m × 2.4m window, including track. Sample pricing
A sheer softens a room more than any other window treatment. It takes the edge off harsh afternoon sun, blurs the view in from the street, and still lets the room feel bright.
On their own, sheers suit living areas, studies and anywhere you want light more than darkness. Paired with a blockout behind, they become the everyday layer of a double curtain.
Good for
- Living and dining rooms
- Street-facing windows that need daytime privacy
- Softening large glass doors
Worth knowing
- Sheers don't give privacy at night once lights are on inside
- They won't darken a room for sleeping. Pair with a blockout for bedrooms

Questions about sheer curtains
Can people see in through a sheer?
In daylight, very little. At night with the lights on inside, yes, so most people pair sheers with a blockout in rooms that need night-time privacy.
Do sheers stop UV?
They filter a good share of it and help protect floors and furniture from fading, though not as completely as a lined or blockout fabric.
