Curtains and sheers
Drapes, valances or voiles to suit your interior
Curtains play a key role in the atmosphere of a home. They dress your windows, filter the light and bring warmth, comfort and style to every room.
Choose from a wide range of fabrics the one that best meets your needs for privacy, blackout, acoustic comfort or thermal insulation, while blending perfectly into your interior.
Pick the heading that best matches your style, and complete it with a beautiful curtain rod or a more discreet track.

Compare the variants
| Variant | Description | Heading | Installation | Ideal for | Properties | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drapes / Valances | Curtains in a thicker or heavier fabric; they can be semi-sheer, opaque or dimming. Often used to add a decorative touch, sometimes with bold colours and patterns. | wave, Flemish pleat, pencil pleat tape, flat pleat | on a rod or track, wall- or ceiling-mounted | living room, dining room, bedroom, dressing room, library | more or less supple fabric; for full closing: blackout, thermal, acoustic | can be lined or unlined; tiebacks in the same fabric |
| Voiles | A curtain in a light, usually sheer fabric, plain or patterned, textured or embroidered. Can be hung alone or combined with drapes. Brings lightness and elegance to the room and softens the view without fully blocking it. | wave, Flemish pleat, pencil pleat tape, flat pleat | on a rod or track, wall- or ceiling-mounted | living room, dining room, bedroom, dressing room, bathroom | very light, fluid, supple; with lead-weight tape or double hem | cannot be lined |
| Wave curtains | A heading with a very modern, sophisticated look thanks to its regular wave-shaped fall — hence the name. Often used for sheerer fabrics, but it works just as well with heavier ones. | — | on a track or rod, with gliders on a dedicated Wave cord | living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom | very modern, sophisticated | no more need to drape the curtain for a perfect fall |
| Flemish pleat | Depending on the number of pleats, this heading can look modern or classic. Often used for drapes, but also for sheers with fewer pleats, for a more contemporary look. | — | on a track or rod; can slightly conceal the track | double and single pleat: drapes or light fabrics across the full width; triple pleat: rather drapes and classic interiors | single pleat = more modern; double pleat = classic; triple pleat = very classic, with plenty of volume and fabric fullness | can be lined or unlined; height-adjustable hooks, e.g. to conceal a track |
| Blackout curtains | Combine function and style with a blackout curtain: darken your room while keeping a cosy, warm atmosphere. Choose an inherently blackout fabric, or a more extravagant patterned or textured fabric with a blackout lining added. | Flemish pleat with returns to maximise the blackout effect | on a ceiling-mounted track | bedroom, guest room, children's room, home cinema | dimout at 90% or blackout at 99% | tiebacks in the same fabric |
| Thermal curtains | Keep the heat inside in winter — and outside in summer — and save on heating and cooling energy. Choose an inherently thermal fabric, or a more extravagant patterned or textured fabric with a thermal lining added. Another thermal solution: see our Duette® blinds. | Flemish pleat or wave | on a track or rod | front door, south-facing window, conservatory | cosy atmosphere, fewer cold draughts | tiebacks in the same fabric |
