Unlined Curtains

Unlined curtains are just what they sound like, curtains without a separate lining stitched in. It’s all about the fabric doing its thing solo.

They have a lovely light and floaty feel, perfect for letting in a soft glow of natural light while still giving you a bit of privacy. We love them for their simplicity, and because they show off the beautiful texture and character of the fabric.

Unlined curtains are perfect for rooms where you want a lighter, airier look. Think kitchens, living rooms, or anywhere you’re happy to let the light shine through. They’re also brilliant layered with blinds or behind thicker curtains if you want that soft, layered, luxury look (yes, please).

For bedrooms or spaces where you need a bit more darkness or insulation, lined or blackout curtains might be a better fit. But for soft style and effortless charm? Unlined curtains are hard to beat.

Whether you’ve gone for loop tops or pencil pleats, it’s all about popping up your curtain pole or track, then hanging them just like you would any other curtain. Loop tops slide straight onto the pole – no hooks, no fuss. Pencil pleats just need to be gathered and hooked on, and they’re ready to hang beautifully.

Because unlined curtains are lighter, they’re easier to handle too – so you might not even need a second pair of hands (but a pal and a cup of tea never hurt).
