Considering which fabric to use is important whether you are buying ready made curtains or made to measure curtains.

Silks are very popular for use in curtains and it’s difficult to find a curtain fabric which hangs better.

Medium weight material used in upholstery can also work well – lending a more substantial and heavier looking finish to your window dressing.

Cottons and linens are also popular choices but because they crease and wrinkle quite readily they are generally used where a less formal appearance is desired.
