Sheer curtains

Sheer curtains are a natural choice in Australian homes. There’s something about their breezy look that simply says ‘summer’, and for many homeowners that’s enough reason to choose sheers. However, there are also plenty of practical reasons why custom sheer curtains are the perfect choice for Australian homes. Let’s take a look at five reasons why custom sheer curtains by Country are hard to beat in any home during an Australian summer.

Natural Light Diffusion

Something worth embracing when summer comes around is the ample natural light – but not so much the glare and heat. Sheer curtains allow natura, soft light to filter through while diffusing harsh glare. This creates a soft, gentle illumination in your living space, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. Here in South Australia where summers can be quite bright and sunny, sheer curtains help maintain a well-lit and airy atmosphere without blocking out the sunlight completely.

Temperature Control

Sometimes the one simple thing that makes a summer’s day more pleasant is a light breeze. Sheer curtains provide a level of insulation without completely blocking airflow. They help to control the temperature in your home by allowing air circulation. The light fabric of sheer curtains prevents rooms from becoming stuffy, while maintaining a degree of privacy. For those who love the idea of an ‘open home’ in warm weather, custom sheer curtains are perfect.

Connecting Indoors and Out

South Australians enjoy their outdoor spaces, and custom sheer curtains by Country allow a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas. Made especially to fit your home, they provide a level of privacy without completely isolating the interior from the exterior, creating a harmonious blend between the two. In a state where outdoor living is popular, a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas can help make a home seem larger, more open and welcoming during the summer months.

UV Protection

Australia is known for its strong and intense sunlight, which can lead to fading and damage to furniture, flooring, and other interior elements. Sheer curtains provide a level of UV protection by filtering sunlight, helping to preserve the longevity of your furnishings. This is particularly important where sun exposure is a significant factor in interior maintenance.

Sheer Aesthetic Appeal

When Australians think of sheer curtains they often imagine one look – white, translucent and elegant. While that look will never go out of style, custom sheer curtains by Country open up an enormous choice of fabrics that can redefine the sheer look. There are dozens of textures to explore as well as lots of colour choices and even patterns. The feel is light and airy but the look can be bold and modern, light and breezy, colourful and contemporary or anything in between.

In Summary

Sheer curtains are a mainstay of window furnishings in Australia. Their breezy aesthetic and ability to provide light control and privacy mean they’re unlikely to ever go out of style. What can take sheer curtains to the next level is the custom design and choice offered by Country Blinds. Having an expert show you through the dozens of materials choices available is a wonderful way to discover the versatility that custom made sheer curtains have in integrating with both your lifestyle and décor. Nobody offers more textural and colour choices than Country, so there’s no need to be limited to plain white. Country can help you to see how sheers can be the main feature of your windows, rather than just a support act to conventional curtains.
