Seasonal Tips: How to Choose Curtains and Drapes for Summer and Winter

The right choice of curtains and drapes can significantly affect not only the aesthetics of your home but also its energy efficiency throughout the year. Let's look at optimal solutions for different seasons.

Summer Period

During warm months, the main priority is protecting the interior from excessive overheating. Sheer curtains create a natural barrier against direct sunlight while allowing sufficient daylight to pass through. For maximum heat protection, we recommend combining them with blackout curtains, which effectively block sunlight during the hottest hours.

Winter Period

During cold months, keeping heat inside is crucial. Custom-made curtains made from denser materials create an additional insulation layer in front of windows. The ideal solution is layering - combine custom-made sheers with heavier drapes that help reduce heat loss.

Year-round Solutions

For maximum flexibility throughout the year, we recommend:

  • Combining sheer curtains with blackout drapes

  • Investing in high-quality custom-made curtains with long durability

  • Selecting materials based on window orientation

  • Adjusting textile lengths according to season
