Combining solid fabrics with airy sheers gives your home depth and flexible light control. Explore our favourite ways to layer and bring natural warmth to your space.

Our Malabar print curtain in a deep green is paired with a Dew Sheer curtain. This best-selling combination offers a rich, earthy look while the sheer layer keeps the space from feeling too dark.

For a subtle and elegant look, our Tulsi Linen curtain is paired with the delicate Dew Sheer. This combination is perfect for creating a calm, neutral, and sophisticated window treatment.

For a vibrant and cheerful look, we've layered three curtains: a solid orange, our Forest Bloom print, and a Spring Sheer. This creates a rich, multi-dimensional effect full of warmth and personality.

Our Rustling Leaves print is paired with a solid Nile Blue sheer. The combination of a nature-inspired pattern with a soft, solid color creates a refreshing and tranquil atmosphere.

About The Art of Layering: Combo Curtains

When you mix our solid cottons with sheer drapes, you are not just styling—you are managing light. Many clients ask us which layer goes closest to the glass. We suggest placing the sheer layer inside. This allows you to draw the sheers during the day for diffused, soft light while maintaining privacy, and pull the solid drapes at night for insulation. We can help you pick the right header style—eyelet or pleat—to make sliding these layers seamless.
