Natural Fabrics - naturally luxurious
Using natural fabrics in curtains is becoming increasingly popular. At Unique Curtains and Blinds we have a full range of linen, silk and velvet fabrics. These fabrics feel luxurious, with a soft, unmistakable touch. Wonderful to look, natural fabrics drape beautifully and have a lustre that is matched with a gorgeous authenticity.
Some 100% natural fabrics are more suited to particular curtain styles and applications. We can guide you in the right direction when it comes to making your selection.
Many weaves and textures;
endless design options
Our 100% natural fabrics drape and flow effortlessly
and will certainly make a statement in your home.
If you love the texture and organic look of linen, you'll love our full range of linen curtain fabrics. Perfect for sheer or solid curtains, linen gives your room a dreamy, floaty feel. We offer 100% linen fabrics, as well as a number of blends. Even in a 5% linen/ 95% polyester blend, the stunning linen qualities are evident.
Creasing is a common characteristic for linens – the higher the % of linen means greater creasing. If this is not what you want, then it is best to use a faux linen (polyester) or majority polyester/linen composition.
Our silks include smooth, subtle fabrics, Thai silks and heavily textured fabrics. We even carry an imitation silk for applications that need colour fastness and stability due to environmental factors. Silk curtains hang beautifully and add an elegance and touch of luxury to your room. Velvet is a perfect choice where sound quality for a room is priority.
Velvets have a higher surface area to flat fabrics and provide great acoustics for theatre rooms. Adding a rich and comfortable feeling to a room, velvet curtains also have the benefit of insulating properties.
The right curtain length brings your design to life
Natural fabrics require some expertise, to ensure your curtains drape beautifully. We can advise you on how best to hang your curtains to achieve the look you are after. Curtains can hang just above the floor, creating a structured, clean and tailored look. Or, you could have a small amount of fabric (about 5cm) touching the floor. Known as breaking the floor, curtains hung in this way have a soft, relaxed glamour. At the other end of the spectrum, is a technique known as pooling, where up to 20cm of fabric falls on the floor. This is a lush and romantic way to get the most out of natural fabrics.
The latter two options are best for a majority natural fibre construction, as they will hide any movement which is common with natural fibres.
