Texture roller blind sample

When you are looking for window coverings, it is important to determine beforehand what transparency you want in certain rooms. In bedrooms, for example, more blackout is usual than in the living room. Smartblinds fabrics can be divided into three different transparencies:

Blackout

Opacity: none - Light from outside is completely blocked and has no possibility to illuminate rooms.

Light filtering

Opacity: limited - Light from outside is obstructed, but not completely blocked.

Sheer

Opacity: full - Light from outside finds its way in, but the fabric offers the desired privacy.

Your blinds should, of course, match your interior. The colour and look of fabrics and materials can sometimes differ from reality from a screen or due to differences in light transmission. We therefore always recommend requesting free fabric samples in advance, so you can assess the fabric (colour) in real life!

A lining affects both the look and functionality of your Roman blind or curtain. It can help make the fabric appear fuller, improve insulation and allow you to better tailor the amount of light entering your room.

No lining

A good choice if you mainly want to preserve the appearance of the fabric and do not need extra insulation or blackout properties.

Light-filtering lining

Ideal if you would like extra insulation while still allowing natural light into your home. This lining also gives the Roman blind or curtain a more beautiful, fuller finish.

Blackout lining

The best choice for rooms where you want more privacy, insulation and blackout effect. Perfect, for example, for the bedroom or a room where bright light is unwanted.

Not sure which lining will suit best? Simply order free colour samples of both the Roman blind or curtain fabric and the lining. By placing the samples behind one another at home, you can immediately see how the combination will look in your interior.

A single pleat is a clean, modern curtain style where the fabric is gathered into a single fold at regular intervals. This creates a neat, understated look with the fabric evenly distributed across the curtain.

• Clean, modern look
• Creates less fullness
• Suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics
• Hangs neatly with a clean finish

A double pleat uses two folds at each curtain hook, giving the curtain more fullness and a richer, more luxurious look than a single pleat.

• Fuller, more luxurious look
• Creates a beautiful, even drape
• Suitable for almost all curtain fabrics
• A popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms

Wave curtains use a specially designed track and gliders to create smooth, even waves in the fabric. The waves run evenly across the full width of the curtain, creating a clean and contemporary look.

• Modern and elegant look
• Smooth, even waves
• Ideal for large windows
• Looks stylish both open and closed

Please note: Wave curtains require a special wave track to create their distinctive, even folds.
