Linen and silk fabrics

Linen and silk for curtains and light upholstery

Linen suits curtains and Roman blinds; silk is better for formal drapery and cushions and usually needs lining. We explain when a linen blend hangs more stably than pure linen, and why interlining is usual behind silk.

• Pure and blended linen for curtains and blinds
• Silk for drapery and cushions
• Interlining to protect natural fibres from sun
• Roman blinds in linen for kitchen diners
