Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the most timeless curtain style?
While trends come and go, a simple, tailored drapery panel in a high-quality, neutral fabric like linen or a wool blend is truly timeless. A classic pinch pleat or a modern S-fold style offers enduring elegance that can adapt to evolving decor. The key to a timeless look is focusing on superior fabric quality and proper sizing—curtains that just kiss the floor or puddle slightly will always look classic and intentional.
2. Are sheer curtains still in style for 2025?
Absolutely. Sheer curtains are more popular than ever, but with a textural, organic twist. Instead of plain polyester sheers, the current trend favors gauzy, lightweight linens or slubby cottons that have a more natural, tactile quality. They are perfect for layering under heavier drapes or on their own to diffuse light beautifully while maintaining a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. They fit perfectly within the Biophilic and Quiet Luxury trends.
3. How do I choose the right curtain length?
There are three primary—and stylish—options for curtain length. The “float” has the curtain hem hovering about a half-inch above the floor, a practical choice that is easy to open and close. The “kiss” involves the curtain just grazing the floor, a precise and tailored look that requires exact measurements. The “puddle” is the most dramatic, with one to three inches of extra fabric pooling on the floor, creating a sense of opulence and romance. The choice depends on the room’s formality and your personal preference, but avoid the “high-water” look where curtains end awkwardly above the floor.
