5 Cool Fabric Options for Window Treatment

 Fabric selection is an important part of window treatment installation. Room ambiance, privacy, comfort, and aesthetics – it affects all. If you are a new homeowner or someone with little knowledge about home décor, here comes a guide for you to help you pick the right fabric for window treatment.

#1. 100% Cotton


Cotton is a timeless fabric- either its wardrobe collection or window treatment. Draperies or shades with cotton fabric are best for every season. Made from natural cellulosic fiber, cotton fabrics are comfortable to touch. They absorb water and breathe – a characteristic that makes cotton-based window treatment an ideal choice for summers. They are durable as well. They can withstand heat, detergents, and bleach. However, the obvious drawbacks include – builds wrinkles and do not dry quickly.

#2. 100% Rayon


If you want a stylish and modern look on a reasonable budget, roman shades with rayon fabric can be an ideal choice for shades and draperies. Soft and smooth - rayon has a smooth, comfortable texture that feels soft to the touch similar in comfort to natural fibers like cotton. However, it adds shine to the checklist that cotton fails. It has a considerably low moisture-absorbent and breathable quality.

#3. 100% Linen



Linen is known for its absorbency, strength (It is the second strongest fabric after the silk), thermoregulation, comfort, great abrasion resistance, antiallergic, and electric charge-resistance attributes. From living room to bedroom to kitchen, guest and dining room, linen-based window treatment options – shades and draperies - are popular everywhere.

#4. 100% Silk


Like cotton, silk is also a natural fabric. Though a range of artificial silk fabrics is also in the market, we are excluding them from the discussion. Silk has a lustrous sheen. Its low density and good insulation properties make it an ideal choice for winter as well as summer. Its high affinity towards die makes it easy for you to find a gamut of color options for your window treatment.

#5. 100% Polyester



You can find plain and patterned polyester fabric in an endless number of options for your window treatment. Depending upon the walls and the surroundings, opt for the right polyester fabric.

Polyester is a durable fabric. It doesn’t tear, stretch, or pill easily like cotton and other natural fibers. It's resistant to moisture, and most importantly, it doesn’t develop wrinkles.
