LEFT: Create a bright and inviting atmosphere in your living room, dining room, or bedroom with sheer curtains in linen, voile, or playful embroidery. Sheer curtains provide effective privacy and soften direct sunlight while still letting in soft, natural light, adding a cozy and textural element to your interior. Pictured here is the embroidered voile curtain in terracotta, hung on a black curtain track.
RIGHT: Our sheer linen curtain panels, woven from 100% linen sourced from Normandy, have been a customer favorite since the start. Over time, the collection has expanded to include nine carefully curated shades – from earthy tones like sand, off-white, and khaki to vibrant accents like terracotta and mustard. The sheer linen curtain can effortlessly stand alone in your decor or be paired with heavier curtains for a more layered, inviting look. Here, the sheer linen curtain in sand is displayed, hung on a white curtain track.
LEFT: Sheer linen Roman blinds offer the ability to control the amount of natural light while providing a flexible level of privacy, adapting to your needs throughout the day. They are equally suited for both large and small windows, offering a curtain solution that seamlessly combines functionality with aesthetics.

RIGHT: An interior design tip is to pair your Roman blinds with curtain panels in the same fabric for a more striking and cozy look. This creates a cohesive style while also giving you more options to switch between open and more covered curtain looks. Pictured here is the sheer linen Roman blind in white, combined with curtain panels in the same fabric.
LEFT: Café curtains are shorter curtains that typically cover the lower part of the window. They were originally used in cafés to provide privacy without blocking natural light, which is how they got their name. Today, café curtains are a popular choice among our customers for rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens, and children’s rooms, where the need for natural light is combined with a desire for privacy. Pictured above is the 'Classic' style, in sheer linen ivory.
RIGHT: At Gotain, we offer café curtains in two different styles: "Classic" for a timeless look, and "Minimalist" for a modern and clean aesthetic. Both styles are available in our nine carefully selected shades of sheer linen and come as a complete set with a rod and niche brackets for easy and seamless installation. Pictured above is the 'Minimalist' style, in sheer linen mustard.

ROMAN BLIND + CAFE CURTAINS
A curtain combination growing in popularity is pairing Roman blinds with café curtains. Roman blinds are positioned over the upper part of the window, allowing for easy adjustment of both light and privacy, while café curtains on the lower part provide a more permanent sense of seclusion.
By choosing both curtain styles in lightweight and sheer fabrics, natural light can still flow through even when the window is fully covered. This creates an airy, bright, and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal solution for kitchens and other spaces where you want to balance functionality with aesthetics.
ROMAN BLINDS + CURTAIN LENGTHS
Combining Roman blinds with curtain lengths is an effective way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in a room. Roman blinds offer a clean and functional look, easily controlling both light and privacy. By complementing them with curtain panels, you add a softer, more decorative element that enhances the overall ambiance of the space.
For a cohesive interior design, you can choose Roman blinds and curtain panels in the same fabric or color tone. Alternatively, if you want to add a personal touch, you can experiment with contrasting shades, patterns, or materials.
HOTEL STYLE CURTAINS
Create a hotel-inspired atmosphere at home by combining sheer curtains with blackout curtains for a solution that is both beautiful and functional. The sheer curtains, hung closest to the window, create a soft filter that allows daylight to flow in while providing some privacy. The blackout curtains are placed on the outer layer, offering complete coverage and darkness when needed.
This combination is not only ideal for enhancing sleep quality but also helps regulate room temperature and reduce noise levels, creating a comfortable and relaxing environment. Learn more about achieving the hotel look here.
