Types of Curtains For Winter
When it comes to discussions of types of curtains, we commonly compare the header of the curtains such as eyelet, rod pocket or tab top curtains. But, when we talk about types of curtains for winter, we need to look at the materials and overall function of these curtains. You want to make sure your winter curtains can help keep your space feeling cosy and warm. This is why we love our blockout, thermal and room darkening curtains when preparing our homes for the colder months.
Blockout Curtains
Installing a good pair of blockout curtains is key to keeping your home at optimal temperature. The thick material of blockout blinds will help insulate your home in winter when they're closed, keeping the warmth in and preventing chilly drafts from entering your home.
Blockout curtains also work the same way in summer - when closed they will keep the sun from penetrating through, acting as a valuable cooling agent in your home and helping you conquer whatever the weather conditions your home faces, all year round!
These curtains are a common choice of winter curtains for bedrooms due to their light blocking properties.
Thermal Curtains
Heavy curtains for winter helps to retain heat within your home much like how thermal clothing is designed to keep you nice and warm. Thermal curtains are designed with thick layers of acrylic material that keep the light from penetrating into your home. This coating seals over the spaces in the weaves of the curtain fabric and prevents air and heat from transferring through your windows and into your room.
Styling Your Winter Curtains
There are a variety of ways in which you can style your winter curtains:
- Open your curtains up during the day with curtain holdbacks or tiebacks
- Layer your curtains with pair of sheer curtains underneath for the ability to switch between fully opaque and beautifully sheer whenever you want.
- Combine the warming benefits of curtains with blinds and layer your window furnishings for ultimate coverage.
