Sheer curtains do something no other window treatment can: they let light in while still giving a room a finished, considered look. But not every sheer curtain works in every space. Here's how to choose the right one, room by room.
Living Rooms: Let the Light Do the Work
In a living room, sheer curtains soften harsh daylight without blocking the view outside. Look for pinch-pleated styles that hang with structure rather than bunching — they read as more tailored and elevate the whole window. Browse Griham's full sheer curtains collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/curtains) to see the range of prints and neutrals available.
Bedrooms: Pair for Softness
Sheers work beautifully layered with a heavier fabric, but if you're using them on their own, choose a pattern that echoes your bedding. A floral sheer against a matching quilt set from the quilt collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/quilts) creates a cohesive, designed-not-decorated feel.
Kids' Rooms: Have Fun With It
This is the one room where playful print wins over restraint. Rainbow, galaxy, and animal-themed sheers instantly personalize a space — see the full Kids Room Collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/kids-room-collection) for options that coordinate with kids' bedding too.
The Finishing Touch: Tiebacks
Whatever room you're dressing, a good tieback changes how the whole window reads — pulling fabric back cleanly instead of leaving it to sag. Griham's hand-embroidered curtain tiebacks (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/curtain-ties) are designed to match the sheer curtain prints exactly.
