A Simple Guide to: Curtain and Blind Linings
Take a peek behind the curtain… literally!
Curtain and blind linings are the unsung heroes of window dressing. Often unseen, they work hard behind the seams to improve drape, insulation and longevity.
Lining roles - The WHY?
• Improve insulation - with a range of thermal options available
• Light control - from partial to full blackout (perfect for bedrooms)
• Protect fabric - helping preserve delicate and printed fabrics from UV damage
• Refine the drape - adding body and structure for a more luxurious finish
What to consider when finding your perfect match:
• Purpose
• Room and orientation
• Fabric compatibility
• Colour and opacity
• Durability
• Environmental impact
Aconite's quick guide to linings
Standard lining (cotton)
Adds slight weight and opacity, usually in cream or white.
Softens the drape and is ideal for general living areas.
Interlining
Available in a variety of thicknesses. This is a separate thicker layer placed between your chosen fabric and standard lining to add body, enhance drape and improve insulation.
Blackout lining
Like interlining, this is a separate layer and can be used in conjunction with interlining. It blocks out nearly all incoming light, making it a great choice for bedrooms.
Thermal lining
Designed to improve insulation, helping keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Because linings sit quietly in the background, choosing the right one for your home can feel like a bit of a minefield.
