Stylish Window Treatments for Spring: Sheer Voiles

There's no getting away from it I admit that I love voile curtains and detest with a passion traditional net curtains – maybe it stems back to my childhood and the memories of nosy neighbours reporting back to my parents my every move! Voiles are also on-trend and can be used in a number of different ways to dress windows. Here's my top 10 reasons you should use voile curtains in your home:

1. They can replace traditional net curtains and bring tired looking rooms up to-date.

2. When full length the add much needed height to some rooms.

3. Used on their own they add a delicate, feminine touch to windows.

4. Voiles are ideal for creating a stylish double layer affect.

5. Lined voiles are available to help prevent (although not stop altogether when an inside light is switched on) prying eyes seeing inside your home.

6. From dreamy whites and ivories to bright bold colours voiles suit all styles of interiors.

7. Voiles must be the easiest style of cheap curtains to hang.

8. Trendy eyelet or tab-tops allows them to be used for more than just window dressings – for example on terraces during the summer.

9. Their lightweight allows them to fall gracefully and pool onto the floor.

10. My favourite is the way they billow in the breeze coming from an open window to create a refreshing airiness to rooms.

Versatile, practical and very affordable voile curtains are the ideal window dressing.
