If it's never occurred to you to update your curtains for the spring and summer months, you're not alone. That said, it's a really easy way to give your space a subtle, seasonal lift and make the most of natural light. While thick curtains in insulating fabrics are a brilliant way to keep heat in and add coziness during the colder months, they can feel heavy and clunky as the weather turns, leaving your home crying out for a refresh.
Studio Peake's founder, Sarah Peake, is a big fan of voiles and sheers for letting more light in and reducing visual bulk around a window. "Sheers stack far more neatly than thick, lined curtains, so when they’re open they don’t encroach on the glazing, and when drawn, they provide a beautiful, soft glow," she tells me. "I particularly love a sheer with subtle texture, like a slubby linen or fine woven detail, as it adds tonal interest and depth while still feeling calm and airy."
