Guidance on Curtain Linings

Lining, or curtain liner, means the extra layer of fabric sewn to your curtains. Adding lining is a convenient way to ensure your curtains last longer or look prettier.

Unlined

Only for Sheers & Already 100% Blackout Curtains

 

  • Unlined is only practical if you have sheers or already 100% blackout curtains, such as our Gary & Todd.
  • Unlined is literally the fabric alone without anything added. So does the light-blocking limited.
